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.

Mercedes GLA

from £35,285
Family SUV is classy, comfortable and well equipped, but some rivals are cheaper and more practical

Audi RS5

from £89,400
An accomplished and rapid all-weather grand tourer, but the Audi RS5 is too aloof to be truly fun.

Honda CR-V

from £41,800
The Honda CR-V has masses of space, but other SUVs offer more equipment and superior refinement for less money.

Vauxhall Astra

from £27,495
The Vauxhall Astra is a well-rounded, good-value family hatch that offers plenty of room at an affordable price

Peugeot 5008

from £30,999
The 5008 is stylish, practical and good to drive. It's one of the best seven-seat SUVs you can buy

Volvo V60

from £43,955
Tidy handling, beautifully built, with a comfortable ride. And did we mention it’s blooming roomy? The Volvo V60 is a great estate car

Mercedes SL

from £107,030
The Mercedes SL’s rivals may be sharper to drive, but none are quite as adaptable to any situation.

Lexus NX

from £46,695
The Lexus NX is worth considering as a company car. Diesel rivals are more satisfying to drive, though, and more practical.

Toyota RAV4

from £41,333
A decent SUV, but there are other rivals that are better to drive and offer more for your money.

Hyundai Tucson

from £26,495
The Hyundai Tucson offers good value for money, strong performance and striking looks, but its ride and steering aren't the best

Volkswagen Golf GTE

from £22,990
The GTE is a Golf for people with an eye on performance, but also on the environment and running costs

Volkswagen Tiguan

from £30,890
The latest Tiguan is a practical family SUV that’s available with petrol, diesel and petrol plug-in hybrid engines

Chery Tiggo 7

from £23,029
The Chery Tiggo 7 is a family SUV that undercuts many rivals on price

Mercedes AMG C63

from £41,410

Leapmotor C10 Hybrid

from £30,995
Plug-in hybrid family SUV aims to offer the best electric car driving characteristics but with the range of a petrol car

BYD Seal 6

from £26,000
The Seal 6 is the first BYD sold in the UK to be offered as an estate, but how does it stack up against key rivals?

Citroën C5 Aircross

from £25,491
The C5 Aircross family SUV is quiet, comfortable and great value for money

Bentley Flying Spur

from £190,370
The Bentley Flying Spur is a strong performer with a lovely interior. However, it’s expensive and doesn’t ride as smoothly as it should.

Mazda CX-80

from £37,635
The CX-80 is smart inside and available with up to seven seats but there are more practical rivals

Chery Tiggo 9

from £39,980

BMW X1

from £34,434
The X1 is a spacious premium family SUV that's available as a plug-in hybrid

Mazda CX-60

from £33,998
The CX-60 is plush inside and practical but rival family SUVs have a more comfortable ride

Jeep Compass

from £32,795
The Jeep Compass has impressive off-road credentials, but its poor road manners and noisy engines mean it's ultimately off the pace

Suzuki Across

from £37,490
Family SUV is competent, but only makes real sense as a company car

Cupra Leon

from £25,000
The Cupra Leon combines sporty looks with sharp handling and is also available as a practical estate car

Toyota C-HR

from £30,695
Decent to drive, generously equipped and the hybrid version makes a lot of sense as a company car. It's just a shame the Toyota C-HR isn’t cheaper to buy and bigger in the back.

Leapmotor B10 Hybrid

from £28,500
The Leapmotor B10 Hybrid has plenty of room and tech, but it's disappointing to drive
