Hybrid/EV car reviews

A predictably sensible bespoke EV from Volkswagen, but a roundly competent one too

Kia proving that forward-thinking doesn’t need to be entirely wacky. An extremely attractive package that makes a lot of more premium manufacturers look at least two steps behind

Sportiness is all well and good, but for a lot of people there’s as much appeal in a car that disregards that entirely in the pursuit of comfort and serenity. The e-C4 is one such car

One of the most complete electric cars money can buy. Superb build quality, and decent to drive

If sheer refinement is what matters to you in a luxury car, this is the new champion. The EQS fuses Merc’s old school lux with new-age propulsion

Ticks all the grown-up sensible boxes and looks this flipping special. Tesla’s worst nightmare

It’s big, it’s spacious, it’s comfortable, but van-like looks and a limited 143-mile range may prove too much of a turn off for some

A coupe-ified SUV that isn't massively less practical than the car on which it's based. But you still want the SUV

Crossovers are family transit pods. And judged through that lens, the ID.4 is right on target

A very conventional Audi, built to persuade regular SUV buyers to make the EV jump

Remains one of the best all-round, reasonably priced EVs you can buy today

The culmination of decades of work for Toyota, but it's for very specialist cases and hydrogen cheerleaders only

The I-Pace won’t be for everyone, but hats off to Jaguar for making a car that steps boldly into the unknown, and shows those pesky Germans the way

First purpose-built Skoda EV nails the brief. Incredibly convincing alternative to the ID.4

Another interesting EV, albeit one not quite as deft to drive as its name suggests

The EQA isn't exactly engaging to drive or quick. Its big draw is the hugely refined and reassuring feelgood ambience, and that'll satisfy the fanbase. If perhaps not find new converts

A handsome four-door GT that plays to Audi's strengths, with a blistering turn of pace

Ford jumps on the electric crossover bandwagon. Ignore the Mustang branding and you'll find an accomplished car

Bored of your tired ol' Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV? Welcome to the new Toyo-zuki successor

Seat's take on the VW Up & Skoda Citigo is a damn good EV. Though of the three, it's not the one we'd have

Almost everything we like about the Up, but unpretentiously electric. Could be the ideal first EV
