PEUGEOT 508 HYBRID 225

-

Peugeot’s funky-looking five-seat repmobile has had the PHEV treatment – good news if you want a left-field company car and some tax breaks. Unlike the 4WD 3008 PHEV, the 508 snuggles an electric motor next to its petrol engine, so it’s FWD. It does have a decent electric range (30-ish miles), but if you run out of electricit­y and rely on the 178bhp 1.6 petrol engine, it can feel a bit strained – after all, it weghs 1,720kg. Plus, topping out at nearly £40k, it’s expensive. RH
