Hybrid/EV car reviews

Nissan has turned over a new Leaf. Yup, inevitable headline is justified by the facts

The follow-up to the successful DS 7 irons out some of its idiosyncrasy while standing convincingly proud of its numerous Stellantis cousins. A job decently done

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

Smooth, capable, practical and well made, the Outlander PHEV is an antidote to pretty much everything else of a similar size. Why did it ever leave the UK?

Forgettable to look at, lacking in dynamic talent, and no cheaper than rivals. Avoid the electric versions

A Scandi four-door GT with over 400 miles of real-world range and Porsche 918 Spyder levels of power. The Taycan needs to watch its back

Unmemorable to anyone interested in cars, but it's spacious inside and gets lots of wow-factor kit... plus, this latest version is less rubbish than before

The Ford e-Transit is a joy to spend time in. One of the best electric vans of the current breed

A slick design wrapped around a sumptuous interior. Hopefully the software underpins it all properly

Heading into the nearest Stellantis dealer to pick up a generic crossover? You might just have your head turned by the Leapmotor’s £29,995 price tag

Even in mid-life, the MG4 is a better drive than most mid-range EVs. That hasn't changed: the facelift is about a more pleasant cabin

An extremely competent electric SUV, but apart from those looks there's nothing to quicken the pulse

An uplifting electric van that's fun to be in and around… but it now looks menacingly expensive versus its first proper rival

This handsome four-door GT is the best car Audi makes. Rapid whichever version you choose

A refreshingly 'normal' EV that happens to look better, go further and cost less than before. Winner

This is a well-targeted car that won't frighten mainstream buyers. Its problem, strangely, is the price

The GV60 is a good quality, comfort focused EV deserving of a wider audience

Polestar’s eponymous fourth model, this time with added subtraction. Of a rear ’screen

Several years after launch, an updated ID.5 charms us more than the launch car

Skoda’s facelifted electric family SUV is better than ever. Smartened looks add to relentless competence

A likeable little city car, but comfortable enough beyond it too. Just don't expect the off-road chops you're used to from a Jeep
