Deciding between a 2026 Preferred and a 2023 Turbo Premium plus

Currently two Mazda CX30s have caught me eye. Both costing around 27k. The 2026 (light Gray) has been driven for 6k miles while the 2023 (Dark gray) has been driven for around 30k miles. I can't really make a decision. Driving wise they feel the same to me as well. The 360 camera sounds nice but might be overkill when the 2026 preferred has front parking sensors? This will be my first car.

Choosing a first car for college (Chicago / Chicago Suburbs).

I saw a 2026 Mazda CX30 S Preferred at $27k with 6k miles. It has parking sensors which is the thing my parents want me to have the most. I only drive maybe 3-500 miles a month. My parents like hybrids significantly more however and likes the Toyota Rav4. What would be the best move here? Do I go for a new 2026 Toyota Rav4 SE or is there another more fitting Hybrid SUV?
