The Mercedes '250 e' plug-in hybrid engine impressed us in the A-Class executive hatchback, so it's not surprising to find it works well in the A-Class-based GLA family SUV, too. Read our full Ford Kuga review to find out more. Company-car users will welcome the low CO2 emissions, while families will be happy with the Kuga's large interior and good-sized boot which, on some models, can be expanded via a sliding rear bench seat. It's good to drive, too, retaining much of what makes the standard car feel sharp on the road, with nicely-weighted steering and tight body control. That said, we think it makes a good case for itself with its sharp looks, practical interior and with very impressive on-paper figures. While it only launched in 2020, the Ford Kuga sits in the shadow of cutting-edge PHEV SUVs like the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson. Read our full BMW X5 review to find out more. If you can live with the X5’s big purchase price, there are very few downsides. While we haven’t yet driven the facelifted car, our time with the outgoing model revealed handling that was incredibly impressive for a car of its size. The headline figure is the Beemer’s official electric range of 65 miles, which should cover the daily journeys of a large proportion of buyers, but it's also massively quick, covering 0-62mph in just 4.8 seconds. The BMW X5 is one of the best large plug-ins out there – and a recent facelift looks to have made the best even better. Read our full Kia Niro PHEV review to find out more. The Korean maker says the Niro PHEV has a maximum electric range of over 40 miles – this makes it cheap to run for company car buyers, despite the Kia’s high starting price. Just like its regular hybrid and fully-electric counterparts, the Niro PHEV gets a striking exterior to match its futuristic interior, the latter featuring a slick dual-screen infotainment setup from the electric Kia EV6. The Kia Niro is offered in self-charging hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full EV form, but it's the PHEV we’re focusing on here. Read our full Renault Captur E-Tech review to find out more. This, alongside a roomy boot and light steering makes the plug-in Captur an ideal choice for the school run and much more. Switch into the all-electric mode and Renault says the Captur E-Tech will be able to travel up to 30 miles before the petrol engine kicks in. The Renault Captur E-Tech is the cheapest plug-in hybrid SUV you can buy, but we think it manages to keep up with more expensive offerings in terms of interior technology and comfort. Read our full Range Rover Sport review to find out more. It can even be pretty engaging on a twisty road – despite weighing over two-and-a-half tonnes. Longer journeys will be a breeze, too, thanks to the Range Rover’s serene-feeling cabin. With a staggering 70 miles of electric range, some buyers will be able to drive the Sport day-to-day without using a single drop of fuel. The latest Range Rover Sport is leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessor, and we think the plug-in hybrid model is perhaps its best iteration. Read our full Lexus NX review to find out more. The Plug-In version is the efficiency champion, promising over 200mpg fuel economy and nearly 40 miles of electric range. While we found the latest model still offered supple suspension and a cosseting driving experience, it also now benefits from a well-equipped and well thought-out interior, wrapped in one of the most striking-looking SUV designs yet. Previous generations of the Hyundai Tucson took a 'solid and sensible' approach to family motoring, but could hardly be called exciting. Read our full Kia Sportage review to find out more. It's pricey for a private buyer, but we reckon company-car drivers will be laughing all the way to the bank thanks to the Sportage’s low 8% Benefit-in-Kind tax rating. It's also the first Sportage to be available with a plug: this petrol-electric version will do 43 miles without touching a drop of fuel and promises fuel economy north of 250mpg if you make full use of that capability. The latest Kia Sportage combines arresting exterior styling with a spacious and tech-filled interior.
