If you aren’t quite ready to commit to electric or hybrid, consider looking at the Peugeot 308 PureTech for a small runaround that doesn’t break the bank.
Prices for the 308 start at a very reasonable £21,235 and it does well on the BIK rate scale too at 28 per cent with 123 g/km CO2 emissions. It boasts a range of 56.7mpg and as long as there isn’t too much you need to lug around, should more than do the job.
