Plug-in hybrid

If you're not ready to commit to an EV but are able to charge your car at home or work, a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) could be the perfect compromise. The best can travel for over 80 miles on a charge, and once the battery is depleted, automatically switch to their petrol or diesel engine.

There are a huge choice of models out there, from family cars to estates and SUVs, but all provide quiet zero-emissions motoring with the reassurance that a five minute fill-up will rarely be far away. As well as the potential for exceptional fuel economy, company car rates are low, too.

The seven-seat version of the Hyundai Santa Fe is a fine family SUV, although there are better-value rivals out there

Mercedes CLE

from £44,410
The CLE Coupé is quick and comfortable with a great range of engines but it's a pricey choice

Kia Sorento

from £43,725

from £25,799
The Transit Connect is an impressive small van with a wide range of engines and configurations

Bentley Continental GT

from £202,570
The Bentley Continental GT might not be the best handling coupé, but it excels in comfort and luxury. The V8 makes the most sense.

Audi A3

from £27,532
The Audi A3 is an outstanding all-rounder, although some rivals are better value for money.

Range Rover Sport

from £74,469
Some rivals are faster and more fun to drive, but few are as comfortable or refined as the Range Rover Sport

The X3 is superb to drive and offers a spacious, high-quality interior, making it one of the best large SUVs to buy

Volvo XC90

from £66,270

It may not be the sensible SUV choice, but the Lamborghini Urus blends jaw-dropping pace with comfort and enough practicality to be usable every day

New Audi Q8

from £59,900
There are more practical and cheaper luxury SUVs, but if you want that coupé-SUV look, the classy, spacious and refined Audi Q8 will not disappoint.

Range Rover

from £99,995
A unique proposition, the Range Rover is a worthy alternative to conventional luxury saloons and has a wider gamut of abilities than all of them

BMW 3 Series Touring

from £35,990
There are more practical estates than the 3 Series Touring, but its handling and performance make it one of the best options

Kia Niro

from £28,860
The Niro Hybrid is spacious, well equipped and available with a choice of electrified power options

Volkswagen Tayron

from £37,795
The Tayron is Volkswagen's new replacement for the Tiguan Allspace seven-seat SUV

Peugeot 408

from £22,794
The Peugeot 408 is a left-field choice in the executive car field, but it impresses for value, interior quality and boot space

Mercedes C-Class

from £43,410
The Mercedes C-Class looks swish and the diesels are super-efficient. There are roomier and more comfortable rivals, though

Audi Q3

from £35,299
Compact, good to drive and inexpensive to run, the Audi Q3 deserves to be near the top of your small SUV shopping list.

Range Rover Evoque

from £40,284
Some rivals are better to drive, but the Range Rover Evoque has the image, equipment and residual values that premium SUV buyers expect.

Bentley Bentayga

from £176,390
The Bentley Bentayga excels in performance and luxury, but not by enough for it to make more sense than its cheaper rivals

New Toyota Prius

from £33,050
The Toyota Prius is a highly cost-effective choice for both private and company car drivers.

Mercedes GLC

from £55,495
The Mercedes GLC might not be as good an all-rounder as some SUVs, but it's still well worth considering – as long as you spec it right.

Volvo XC60

from £49,860
The Volvo XC60 is not the best large SUV to drive but, being classy inside, roomy and well equipped, it's still a strong option

Lexus RX

from £62,045
The Lexus RX is comfortable, well equipped and easy to drive. It’s also good value for money – particularly if you’re a company car driver and choose the RX 450h.

Audi A5 Avant

from £36,570
The A5 Avant is Audi's new estate car – it's comfy and refined but not as practical as rivals

McLaren Artura

from £185,960
Plug-in hybrid performance car is impressive – but not as exciting as some rivals
