THE RIVALS

Kia Niro PHEV

It’s more of a crossover but is also good looking. The Astra is better to drive. £35,150

Peugeot 308 PHEV Allure

Underneath it’s essentially the same car as the Astra. Go for the looks you prefer. £34,570

Skoda Octavia iv

A traditional hatchback but it’s spacious and is quite good value.

£34,800
