What hybrid crossover should we replace a Nissan Qashqai with?
My nephew, his wife and two children (aged 8 and 6) are moving from London to a leafy village in Sussex. They have £16000 to spend on a hybrid, plus a 2009 Qashqai. They want something no smaller than the Qashqai and 90% of their new journeys will be less than 2 miles. They will have an EV charging point in their new house. What should they go for, please?

We'd recommend a MINI Countryman PHEV. It's a desirable choice that'll be capable of covering most of their journeys under electric power alone. It'll have a similar boot capacity to the Qashqai but, if they'd prefer something a little bigger, look at the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

Cheap to run if you can charge at home and don’t do many miles. Masses of space. Significantly improved for 2019.

The biggest MINI and the most versatile. Genuinely fun to drive. Lots of personalisation options.
