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 · NQ5 (2021+)
Compact SUV with a full-hybrid drivetrain (1.6 T-GDi plus electric motor), technically related to the Hyundai Tucson. System output around 215 hp; WLTP consumption about 5.7 l/100km (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Boot 587 l, braked towing weight 1,650 kg. Indicative starting price; check the official configurator for the current figure.
