SUVs aren't my favorite either, but it is the most "normal" shape of a car where you can shove in the equipment to make it a plug-in hybrid.
A plug-in hybrid is the worst of both worlds in terms of space complexity — you need to essentially include a fully-functional gas car + a fully-functional electric car.
That's why they either turn out to be doorstop-shaped (like the Prius and Volt), or worse (i3, LEAF, etc). I would gladly take the SUV alternative.
