Which used hybrids for under €35,000?

Hi,

Just wondering what are the top 5/10 second-hand hybrids that you'd would recommend buying on the Irish market? I would love to buy a full electric car, but where I live, no can do. I have up to €35,000 to spend.

Hi Tommy,

You've not mentioned if you need a big car or not, but you could get into a nearly new Dacia Jogger for that budget if space and seating are a priority. We reckon it's a good car.

There are plenty of examples of the Ford Puma around as well, though that's more a 'mild hybrid' than a full hybrid.

If you don't need a huge vehicle, then an almost-new Peugeot 208 Hybrid could be a good bet as it would be under warranty for quite some time to come – and it's a lovely car in any case. You may even get into the new-look Peugeot 308 Hybrid actually, which is a nicer car again.

Same story with the Nissan Juke Hybrid in terms of size. Quirky but very likeable.

If you want something bigger, and you're willing to go back a few years, you'll find hybrid versions of the Hyundai Tucson in budget, which is a great car.

Let us know if we're on the right track if you want help narrowing things down further, but either way, the best advice we can give you is to go and test drive as many cars as possible for yourself.
