A CAR EXPERT has revealed the best plug-in hybrid cars in the UK, which could help cut your fuel costs.

A standard hybrid usually has a petrol engine, battery and electric motor.

The engine charges as you drive, and periods of electric-only driving are possible, although they’re often short and mainly at lower speeds.

With plug-in hybrid models, the battery is usually bigger, and so it can drive for much longer periods on electricity power alone – and at higher speeds.

Handily car experts at What Car? have come up with a list of the best plug-in hybrid cars (PHEVs) on the market.

Plug-in hybrids are usually less comfortable than their conventionally powered siblings because of the extra weight of the batteries.

But the C300e has a rear air suspension that helps solve this issue.

In addition, this Mercedes can run purely on electric power for up to 68 miles at a time.

3. Audi A3 Sportback 40 TFSIe £34,895

The Audi A3 Sportback TFSI e has been awarded the What Car? Best hybrid family car title for 2022. 

It has a high-quality interior, and this car impresses with its excellent driving position and comfy ride.

Audi says: “The Audi A3 Sportback TFSI e combines the best of both worlds: In all-electric mode, it produces very little noise and zero emissions, but the electric motor always offers a powerful drive.”

4. Range Rover Sport P440e £87,475

According to the official test, it has an electric range of up to 70 miles

Being as big as the Range Rover Sport brings some advantages in the world of plug-in hybrids.

It means that it can fit a bigger battery onboard than you would see in other hybrid cars.

According to the official test, it has an electric range of up to 70 miles.

5. Volvo XC40 Recharge T4 £40,300

The XC40 offers a total of 211bhp from its 1.5-litre petrol engine and electric motor

The Volvo XC40 is a former What Car? of the Year winner and remains one the best family SUVs.

Drivers can have it in whatever flavour they like, too, with mild hybrid engine options, a fully electric model called the XC40 Recharge, and the plug-in hybrid option.

It offers a total of 211bhp from its 1.5-litre petrol engine and electric motor – with the result being a brisk 0-62mph sprint time of 8.5sec, which should be enough for most drivers’ needs.
