lower-powered PHEV a little slow, unrefined when working hard
Picking a new executive car with low company car tax qualification is one thing; but finding one that's also well-priced, and versatile enough for daily family life, is a different challenge entirely. Lots of the cars in this list may be cheap on BIK, but they're certainly not cheap on list price. But the Peugeot 408 Hybrid offers a happy triumvirate combination of a sub-£40,000 starting price, a 40-mile-plus electric range , and SUV-lite crossover hatchback practicality.
The 408 is a mid-sized, medium-rise crossover with comfortable cabin space for adults in both rows, and a roomy hatchback-style boot; a jacked-up modern shooting brake of a kind, and quite alternatively appealing with it. To drive, it's a slightly mixed bag. The car's ride and handling are quite fluent and idiosyncratically French in feel; although the hybrid powertrain is certainly at its best at a fairly relaxed paced, seldom feeling particularly powerful, and getting quite strained and a little flustered with with gearshifts when worked hard.
