The 10 slowest-depreciating hybrid cars

It's a sad fact that the second you drive your new car away from the showroom forecourt, it begins to shed pounds and pence in value because of depreciation.

Pick the right car, though, and you can minimise the loss, ensuring you get more of your money back when it comes to selling, or potentially meaning a lower finance payment.

They reduce your running costs compared with a traditional combustion-engined model, and also help you do your bit for the planet.
