A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.
Profile · PHEV (SG2, 2023+)
Plug-in hybrid crossover. Electric WLTP range 65 km; the WLTP figure of 1.0 l/100km applies only with a full battery and short trips. With an empty battery the car drives like a regular hybrid; then count on 5-6 l/100km (owner figure, not measured by us). Braked towing weight 1,300 kg.
Profile · 450h+ Plug-in Hybrid (AAZH26)
Premium plug-in SUV with about 69 km WLTP electric range and 309 hp system output, four-wheel drive. Strong point is the reliability reputation of the Toyota/Lexus hybrid platform and the build quality; weak point the high starting price and the consumption once the battery is empty. Indicative starting price.
