The secret to the Polestar 1’s impressive diversity is its 34kWh battery, fixed in a T-shape in the centre and behind the rear seats. That’s more than enough for maximum travel, but if you ever run out of it, there’s the 305-horsepower 2. 0-liter 4-cylinder engine to lean on. You’ll have to scour the second-hand market to get your hands on a one-of-a-kind spirit, with the limited-run model selling out 1,500 units, unless you can convince Chris Harris (a big fan, as those words say) to sell his. And, with a starting value of £139,000 in mint condition, it also has a deep wallet.

The Mercedes GLC has established itself as the company’s best-selling in recent years. The existing electric is the 300e, which comes with a 2. 0-liter gasoline engine paired with a 134hp electric motor and offers up to 76 miles of electric diversity thanks. to a 31. 2 kWh battery.

An all-electric edition is expected to arrive in 2024, but anyone who wants to enjoy the Range Rover Sport will have to settle for a plug-in hybrid for now. There are two models to choose from, the P440e or the P510e, either of which comes with a 3. 0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine mated to a 141hp electric motor and a 38kWh battery. The total power is 434 and 503 hp respectively, the maximum applicable figure is the declared electric one. A diversity of 76 miles, enough to allow the typical Range Rover owner to make up to three-quarters of the journeys without starting the engine, Land Rover estimates.

Looking for something a little. . . softer? The fifth-generation Range Rover comes with a plug-in hybrid bureaucracy similar to the Range Rover Sport, but achieves just under 70 miles of electric diversity due to its heavier weight and reduced aerodynamic efficiency. Still, it’s more than enough for an average 45-kilometer drive, while the 38kWh battery will go from discharged to full in about an hour with a 50kW DC evaluator, or five hours if you plug it into a 7kW home wall box. The world’s most productive luxury car?We spent six months with one of them to find out.

We’ve already seen a Mercedes on this list, now we’re in a position to see some. . . several more. The first is the sixth-generation E-Class sedan, available in the UK with three powertrains: a 2. 0-litre petrol turbo, 2. 0-litre turbodiesel or 2. 0-litre petrol turbo combined with a 127-hp electric motor, a total force of 308 hp. The PHEV is the fastest, capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in 6. 4 seconds, while its 25. 4 kWh battery is capable of going 70 miles in electric-only mode. In addition to the added weight, it will only have a range of up to 68 miles.

Is taste a priority when it comes to enjoying your plug-in hybrid?Test drive the Mercedes-Benz CLE coupe for longer. It replaces the two-door versions of the C-Class and E-Class, and while it only had a selection of mild hybrids at launch, it’s now available with the same PHEV powertrain as the previous E-Class. It’s a privilege that the Coupe enjoys over its Cabrio sibling, while Merc also tells us that the Coupe can also “easily” carry 3 golf bags in the trunk; We would say that it actually depends on the length of the golf bags.

“The C300e might be the most productive PHEV in the world,” concluded TG’s Ollie Kew as Merc’s eco-friendly sedan took on its archrival the BMW 330e, pointing to the C300e’s impressive 68-mile diversity. went head-to-head, it was almost twice as long as the BMW, a mid-life update now gets the BMW going 63 miles.

The fourth-generation Skoda Superb landed at the end of 2023 and offers an impressive 68-mile electric range (almost double the 35 miles of its predecessor) thanks to its 25. 7 kWh battery (compared to its predecessor’s 12. 7 kWh unit) in the estate model. It is equipped with the same 1. 5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 147 hp and the same 114 hp gearbox-mounted electric motor as the previous Kodiaq, while the 11 kW AC speed allows the battery to be replenished completely empty in two and a half hours per day.

The BMW X5 got a mid-life facelift in early 2023, but it was the underskin updates that caught our eye, especially those to the xDrive50e plug-in hybrid. The 3. 0-liter twin-turbo inline-six electric motor now produces 95 hp and 74 lb-ft more than the previous model, while the 25. 7 kWh battery is about 25% larger and now has a maximum load capacity of 7. 4 kW, double what it used to be. The result is acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4. 8 seconds and an all-electric range of up to 67 km – not bad for a car weighing two and a half tonnes.

Love the sound of the Merc GLC, but looking for something a little bigger?Mercedes also offers its midsize GLE as a plug-in hybrid, which, in 400e form, has an upgraded 2. 0-liter gasoline engine and electric motors that are in a different way than its smaller sibling, and it also offers smart, electric-only diversity — up to 66 miles, to be precise. However, it’s worth noting that it only comes with five seats (compared to the optional seven on other GLE models). diversity) due to the position of the battery under the trunk floor, but how can you send other people there anyway?
