Top 5 plug-in hybrids

1 min read
GIANT TEST WINNER

1 BMW X5 50e

THE GOOD: Massive 67-mile official e-range; horizon-eating performance

THE BAD: Hybrid hardware cuts into boot space to the tune of 150 litres; no seven-seat option

THE UGLY: Not much now that the facelifted 50e model with more e-range and power is here

THE ONE TO BUY: This one, for £81k

2 PEUGEOT 308

THE GOOD: Bravely avant-garde design; decent fuel economy; different

THE BAD: Still persisting with the infernally small steering wheel

THE UGLY: Interior layout looks fab but can be a stressfest to use day-to-day

THE ONE TO BUY: Starts at £399 per month for the 180. Stretch to 225 spec with extra power and kit if you can

3 PORSCHE CAYENNE

THE GOOD: Handling; driver focus; choice of body styles; 0-62mph in 5.0sec

THE BAD: Bigger battery for facelift model but still can’t match the X5

THE UGLY: The front passenger touchscreen: £1000 and not needed

THE ONE TO BUY: If you value the U in SUV, steer clear of the coupe – even if it is
