THE RIVALS

Audi Q5 45 TFSI

Not a hybrid and not quite as stylish as the Lexus. A quality machine though.

£51,460

Mercedes-Benz GLC 300e Merc’s mid-size hybrid SUV offering. Well made and solid but a bit boring.

£49,390

BMW X3 30e Sport

PHEV version of the X3. Drives well, makes great sense for tax. £53,935
