40 i (40 kWh) – Cheap to run, cheap to buy, the Renault Zoe is the perfect all-rounder. Pushing your budget a little further, you can easily stray into the realms of a Kia Niro, Mazda MX-30, MG ZS, Hyundai Kona or DS 3 Crossback. You can pick up an SUV, saloon or estate that’ll keep on going for another decade.

After a succession of carefully staged events for media and the public, we now know that the 2022 GMC Hummer EV will include at least two models: a sport utility truck (or SUT), with four doors and a short pickup bed, and a more conventional SUV. It’s also startlingly fast, and zero-emission, but we’ll get to that.)

HEVs and mild-hybrids are offered by manufacturers as a quick and relatively cheap way (especially in the case of mild hybrids) to improve fleet emissions, compared to ICE-only vehicles. Being a similar size and shape to the very popular Kia Niro, the Atto 3 has every chance of eventual success in the UK market.

Tesla briefly entered the list of top sellers, with the Model Y also topping the SUV sales charts in September. The Model Y is not the best driving EV of 2022 (it’s still comfortably outdone by the Kia EV6 and the Tesla Model 3 is nicer to drive, too) or the most daring (I’d stick the Genesis GV60 high on that list).

The EQV’s not cheap, but lately every new car price announcement – prestige brand; EV or combustion – has us thinking the same thing. Like the combustion V250, the EQV has seating only for seven, not the eight or more we see in other people movers/giant SUVs. Value versus its rivals?
