Price from €23,990 CO2 emissions 88g/km Also try Renault Clio E-Tech Hybridīest hybrid crossover: Toyota Yaris Cross Need a Yaris with more boot space? Here's the answer, in the shape of the likeable Yaris Cross. Small in the back seats and boot, though. The Yaris is reflective of that – frugal but still quite good fun to drive and beautifully made. Pricing on the plug-in hybrids below (asterisked) is correct for December but likely to change from January 1st, 2022, because of the ending of current grants on these cars.īest small hybrid: Toyota Yaris Unsurprisingly, this list will be dominated by Toyotas – it is the carmaker with the most hybrid experience, after all. Price from €85,815 One-charge range 414km-613km Also try Tesla Model Y Best hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars The BMW's styling is controversial (although softening already) but its cabin is a high-tech masterpiece, a place you'll want to spend time just for the heck of it. Tesla's real rival to the iX is the gullwing-doored Model X and the German has its beating. The Tesla is more sharply priced, and has better range as standard, but its plain Model 3 cabin doesn't feel luxurious enough. Price from €39,788 One-charge range 335km-511km Also try Ford Mustang Mach-Eīest electric luxury car: BMW iX This was very nearly another split decision, with the new Tesla Model Y. Photograph: Sagmeister Photographyīest electric SUV: Audi Q4 e-tron The VW Group trio – Audi Q4, Volkswagen ID.4, Skoda Enyaq – all have their strengths, but the Audi wins out by being fractionally nicer to drive and better able to command the circa €50,000 you'd need to spend to get one with decent specification and range (yes, even the Skoda). Price from €37,995 (Hyundai) One-charge range 387km-528km Also try Kia EV6/Skoda EnyaqĪudi Q4. Hyundai has the edge given the wider price range and the fact it also comes with a more affordable, smaller-battery option that the Kia lacks. Both feel pretty big on narrow roads, and we don't get the all-wheel-drive options as yet on the Kia, but these are truly impressive electric cars. The Kia is marginally sweeter to drive the Hyundai has a more family-friendly cabin. Price from €49,990 One-charge range 491-580km Also try BMW i4īest electric crossover: Hyundai Ioniq 5 Wafer-thin decision here, as the Kia EV6 and Ioniq 5 are basically the same car. The Performance model is especially good fun, and residual values are, for the moment, pretty amazing. You can pick plenty of holes in the Tesla Model 3's case, but it remains the best midsized electric car around. Price from TBA (est circa €37,000) One-charge range 300km-470km Also try Volkswagen ID.3īest electric executive car: Tesla Model 3 Controversial? Certainly. Decent range from a well-engineered EV that's comfortable to travel in and fun to drive, it will slide in between the VW ID.3 and ID.4 and could steal the show. This car delivers crisp steering feel and a chassis that's accurate and engaging. And a French car boasting an infotainment system with impressive tech? Surely a first. Inside, the Renault revolts against the Tesla trend towards sparse cabins and offers affordable opulence. The Megane's slippery styling makes it one of the best looking electric cars on the market, EV or otherwise. Price from €30,995 One-charge range 305km-484km Also try Opel Mokka-eīest electric family car: Renault Megane E-Tech A welcome break from boxy crossovers. Is that enough? For many it will be, but we'd recommend upgrading if you can afford it. The Kona you can afford, the €30,995 one, comes with a 39kWh battery and a range of just 305km. Call it following market forces if you will, but while conventionally engined hatchbacks and saloons will continue to play their parts, these are the cars you really want to know about, right? Best electric carsīest small electric crossover: Hyundai Kona electric A word of caution here – the headline Kona is the one with the 64kWh battery, and a range of 484km is pricey, at €37,495. So here we have our picks of the cars you’re actually buying and seemingly want to buy if all the market research is correct – electric cars, hybrid and plug-in hybrids, crossovers and SUVs. We could tell you what the best four-door family saloon is, but no one really buys those any more, so what would be the point? We could also tell you what our favourite sports car is – it’s the Alpine A110, if you’re really wondering – but. The market for new cars is reshaping itself utterly. Those lists encompassed every type of car on sale, from city cars to supercars and all comers between. Before, we’ve listed either our top 100 or our top 50 cars for the year, with an absolute number one car at the head of the list. You’ll notice that our top-cars list for 2022 is a little different from previous years.
