Yet I'm still waiting to buy that vehicle. In the 2014 story, I listed many PHEV SUVs or crossovers that were "coming soon". A few have actually made it to the U.S. market, while others, like the Mitsu Outlander PHEV have been delayed again and again.
Some of these may be hard to find, but are plug-in SUV and crossover models that are for sale in the U.S. today:

This one is not a PHEV, but it was on my original 2015 list of potential plug-in SUVs and it is actually shipping now.
It's time to plug in!
