Hybrids combine the convenience of fossil fuel with the appeal of zero-emissions running. Which do we recommend?
Recent world events have resulted in some good news for the buying public: new hybrid cars can now be sold in the UK until 2035.
At one point it looked like the powers that be would turn off the new hybrid supply in 2030. But why should you care?
Well, dear reader, hybrids deftly combine green emission ratings with low running costs and the ability to fill up in mere moments from a pump.
Appealing to private buyers and company car owners alike, the commercial success of hybrids has been quite a thing to witness over the past couple of decades.
Hybrids are popular for several reasons. They can save you money at the petrol pump and even significantly drive down how much benefit-in-kind (BIK) company car tax you pay.
That’s because hybrids boast lower emissions ratings, while others provide a useful electric-only range that helps make most of your daily motoring emissions-free.
We rate the Toyota Corolla as the best hybrid money can buy. It’s a car with a truly commendable reputation for reliability, and it offers huge MPG figures without the need to plug in.
