I'd stick to cars that have Toyota, Suzuki or Honda written on the back, with Kia/Hyundai as a reserve.
They all have lengthy warranties, the first 3 are rolling 12 month ones activated by having it serviced, Kia/Hyundai are standard 7 years, de-activated by not having it serviced, so pretty much the same thing!
Toyota have an excellent hybrid drive train (thousands of taxis licenced in Wolverhampton can't be wrong) I'd look at the Yaris Cross.
Like all cars nowadays, if they need any parts above service items you have to wait months, and like all dealership chains if anything does go wrong you will wait 6-8 weeks for an appointment to even get them to look at it, but Toyota, Honda & Suzuki very rarely break.
They are all festooned with driver/safety aids that most people try to turn off, Renault offer a single button to do this, I'd expect Nissan to do the same. I just drive with them on and take no notice of all the bings, bongs and beeps, the steering shaker is easy enough to drive through, although the first time it happened I did think I had a wheel coming off (again...)
The only useful feature IMHO is the adaptive cruise control that uses lidar to follow the car in front at a "safe" distance (I think it is too close for motorways...) and automatically sets the speed to the limit (you have to confirm it and can override it if you disagree). It takes all the effort out of A road driving, you just let the car in front do all the work in heavy traffic & queues. You still have to stop at islands & junctions yourself though.
