WE SEPARATE WHAT’S HOT FROM WHAT’S NOT

CITY CARS

These small cars are perfect for urban life, but the trade-off is a much lower range

1. HONDA e

PRICE: £28,215–£30,715 RANGE: Up to 136 miles

TG’s reigning city car of the year has retro-tastic styling, but the range isn’t great. No worries – you don’t need to drive anywhere, just sit inside it.

2. MINI ELECTRIC

PRICE: £24,400–£30,400 RANGE: Up to 145 miles

The electric version of the home grown favourite squeezes the BMW i3’s powetrain into a familiar package. Range not massive, but the car’s still fun.

3. FIAT 500

PRICE: £19,995–£26,995 RANGE: Up to 199 miles

The latest version of the 500 offers sharper looks, good value and decent range – and a parcel shelf full of soft toys shouldn’t hurt the battery too much.
