“I got better than 80mpg (plus one battery charge) on a 100-mile trip around the Bedfordshire countryside including a substantial squirt down the M40.”

“Like all plug-in Volvos these days, [the XC90] carries the Swedish firm's 'Recharge' badging. Starting at over £72,000, the combination of electric motor and engine brings power up to a mighty 385bhp, and 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds. Hot hatch territory, in other words. ”

“This fourth-gen SUV proves how broad-shouldered Hyundai’s getting. The first Tucson was odd looking and not in an especially confident way, the two cars which followed it anonymous beyond belief, while this one is a real statement.”

"The P400e is permanently in four-wheel drive mode whether you’re running on electric power alone, a bit of both or purely petrol power. It’s also unique in that all-electric drive can be combined with the low-range ratios, so off-road abilities should never be compromised."

“The ride comfort was superb and adaptive cruise control with active lane keeping assistance just worked. Combine that with a premium feeling cabin jam-packed with creature-comforts and there’s little to complain about.”

"It's no sports car of course, but yes, the Jogger does drive well – and it’s really thanks to the effort that Dacia has put in to keeping weight down. It tips the scales at a frankly astonishing 1,200kg (the hybrid adds 180kg to that figure), which is light by any car’s standard let alone a seven-seat family wagon."

"Take it out of Cupra mode and tool about on battery power, and the Formentor immediately shapeshifts back into a Richard Curtis film, all warm, comforting and untaxing on your brain."

“The LC500h is a spectacularly complicated hybrid harnessing V6 petrol and electrical power for devilish performance and virtuous fuel economy.”

“A huge accomplishment. A successor to the legendary Dino. A genius bit of technical development. A warning shot across McLaren’s bows. Proof downsizing can improve the breed. Evidence that Ferrari has fully got its head around hybrid and electricity.”

“Futureproofing your luxury wheels to get you into zero-emission inner-city zones probably makes a good deal of sense. Range Rovers have always majored on soothing luxury rather than such uncouth phenomena as ‘handling’, so mooching around in EV mode feels like a very natural step for this car to have made.”

"Despite its late arrival to the game, Toyota has played a decent hand here. The exterior is bold and different without being divisive."

“Despite a bit of extra weight, the Leon still handles well. Agile and light on its feet, if not as involving as a Ford Focus.”

“Citroen is to be applauded for offering something a bit different, and we like how the C5 X quite overtly focuses on comfort, and does it well. There's also a plug-in hybrid, which does miracles for fuel economy on short trips, and BIK tax, and gives you lovely silent urban electric running.”
