Which powertrain should you choose?
- Mild hybrid 48 V: a small fuel saving, but driving very close to a conventional petrol or diesel car.
- Diesel: mainly worthwhile for high annual mileage; check the traffic restrictions (low-emission zones) where you live.
- Plug-in hybrid: electric for short daily trips, petrol for long journeys, as long as you charge it regularly to get the benefit.
