We strongly advise considering your driving habits prior to choosing among the various fuel types. On average, how many miles do you travel in a week? Do you frequently make short journeys or are your trips generally long?

For short journeys, electric cars, plug-in hybrids or petrol cars are obvious choices. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. In a few cases with long journeys and limited charging infrastructure, diesel can be a practical solution. Note that certain countries have banned high-emission diesel engines from cities.

More and more people are choosing hybrid cars over traditional ones

The utilisation of hybrid vehicles like the BMW i8 is fundamental in the progression towards more sustainable and eco-friendly transport options.

The benefits of buying a used hybrid car

There are a lot of benefits of buying an hybrid car used. Benefits such as:

1. Cost savings on purchase: Used hybrid cars are usually less expensive than brand-new ones. This more economical initial price can open up hybrid car ownership to a wider audience.

2. Environmental benefits: Hybrid automobiles have a lower emission footprint compared to traditional petrol or diesel cars. Opting for a pre-owned hybrid lessens the environmental footprint relative to purchasing a brand-new vehicle, as the construction process, especially in the case of the battery, has a significant carbon impact.

3. Fuel efficiency: Hybrids are celebrated for their fuel-efficient nature, blending a petrol engine with an electric motor. This fuel-efficiency can culminate in notable cost savings on fuel in the long run.

4. Technological features: Older hybrid models frequently include advanced features, delivering a high-technology driving experience.

5. Government incentives: In the UK, the road tax on hybrid vehicles is often lower because of their decreased carbon emissions. In some areas, like central London, hybrids may qualify for reduced or no congestion charges, determined by their emission levels.
