BEST ELECTRIC OPTION
A luxury car seems a simple thing to define: loads of sumptuous materials, ride comfort worthy of a magic carpet, and an engine so smooth that you begin to question if it’s even there. But it’s important to remember that plenty of luxury cars (and SUVs) are run as company cars, with models targeting this market also needing to offer low CO2 emissions.
THE SLIGHTLY SPORTIER and cheaper stablemate of the full-fat Range Rover is a fantastic SUV that goes big on luxury, comfort and off-road ability, although other rivals are still sharper to drive. The P440e plug-in hybrid version that we favour has an impressive electriconly range (officially up to 70 miles but realistically 45-50 miles), making this a very enticing option for company car drivers in particular.
