Best plug-in hybrid on the market?
I have a budget of €30-35k; what is the best plug in hybrid car available in the market now?

Hi Lee,
It depends on what you want. I reckon that the best new plugin hybrid on the market right now might be the Kia Niro Plugin, which has very good electric only range, and yet manages to do over 60mpg on long motorway runs. An excellent car. The new Prius Plugin is also very good, but only recently launched so will be beyond your budget unless you buy nearly-new.
If you fancy something a bit classier, the BMW 330e is a really good choice, but bear in mind it’s not as economical as the Kia or Toyota on longer journeys. Here are our reviews for you to read:
