What would be the best PHEV or EV with enough boot space for two dogs?

What would be the best PHEV or EV with enough boot space for two dogs and with 4WD for snow in winter?

Answered by Andrew Brady

A Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV would be a good choice. It's got a big boot and 4WD helps in the snow. PHEVs work best when they can be charged regularly, though - the Outlander will be pretty thirsty once the battery's flat, meaning it's not ideal for regular long journeys.
