Guide prices are approximate and some may already include the Electric Car Grant. Pure EV range is a typical real-world estimate; plug-in hybrid range is the official electric-only figure. Battery chemistry is shown only where a source names it. *Warranty depends on servicing conditions. "Check" means we have not confirmed it: ask the seller. Reliability: see the Warrantywise Reliability Index (built from used-car repair data, so many new models have no score).
