FIRST DRIVE Is plug-in hybrid the best version of updated crossover?

- Shane Wilkinson

Kia XCeed PHEV

Running costs 201.7mpg (official) £61 fill-up

Performance 0-60mph/top speed 10.9 seconds/99mph

KIA is something of a hybrid pioneer and the XCeed crossover is one of its most popular models in the UK. It's likely, then, that this XCeed Plug-in Hybrid will be a big seller for the brand over here.

Refreshed alongside the petrol model we tested in Issue 1,751, this petrol-electric variant gets a similar round of updates. But its 1.6-litre engine, 8.9kWh battery and electric motor are unchanged, so total output stands at 139bhp and 265Nm of torque.

More important is the all-electric range, which is 30 miles. That's not the biggest by modern PHEV standards, but still a useful dose of electrification that could help to lower your running costs, with claimed fuel economy of more than 200mpg, CO₂ emissions of 32g/km and a Benefit-in-Kind company car tax rating of 12 per cent.

Wreckreation

IF you love noughties classics such as Burnout, Need for Speed and Micro Machines, then Wreckreation is the game for you. We're certainly fans of good old-fashioned driving games. Too many have become realistic simulators that require expert skills, which at times foregoes the fun of gaming.

Tesla Model Y Standard

SOME people say EV pioneer Tesla is faltering. Sales figures are declining worldwide and it appears interest in the brand is waning. The reasons for this may be many, but it can’t be down to the cars themselves — especially since the Americans have proven with the Model Y facelift that they aren't resting on their laurels.
