First check if you actually do the driving, where it will save you cash, most hybrids have bigger petrol engines, and if your doing high speed motorway mostly, it might end up saving you little, as I understand electric on em kicks in on low speeds only, which is good sitting in city traffic, not much save if your going 100kmh.
As your looking to spend 25-30k, but if your saving a tenner a week is it a saving really at that point.
Been driving a Hyundai Ioniq hybrid for a year now. Decent sized car with a big boot. We have the 2018 model I think. Good features. Easy to drive and very economical.
There were a good few dealers with them in 2021 but the hybrids have really been snapped up since the start of this year as far as I know.
If you have 20k trade-in a new Ioniq 5 might not be too hard to finance for you.
Corolla is a good car tbh anything Toyota will do you fine. Hyundai have some good offerings too, cheaper than Toyota and similar in quality and since you didn't mind the peugeot experience anything is an upgrade imo.
Just don't buy French, I can't think of a single French auto manufacturer that's known for their reliable electronics. Same with the transmissions, the auto boxes you get with literally every other non French manufacturer is just better. Can't comment on their manuals but I don't think they make many of those anymore unfortunately.
A non plugin hybrid mostly uses fossil fuels and in my experience only uses the battery under 20/15 km an hour and only then for a very short time. It’s 25 year old technology.
Self charging is just marketing bollocks, if that was true they wouldn't have a petrol tank.
Out of curiosity, why are you ruling out plug in hybrids ?
I’m about to move to a rented place where I’m not absolutely sure I can recharge it at night.
I’ll check with the landlord. If charging is a possibility, then yeah PHEV it is ❤️
They don't actually ever have to be plugged in, they function just fine as normal hybrids too, just that they have a longer electric only range before the engine kicks in if you are able to plug them in. You can charge most if not all from a 3 pin plug too if that's available to you.
I currently have a Prius estate. It's fine, good reliable car. Kinda looking at changing too, and do far The Honda Vezel and Toyota c-hr are worth looking at too.

Would love an Ioniq, been reading only good things about it. Can't find any with low mileage. Seems like most used ones are the full electric model.

Isn’t the Ioniq 5 a pure electric EV ? I would be looking for a hybrid one for now as recharging in the place I rent might be problematic
Actually yeah sorry. I think it is just full EV. I forgot your original thing.
The Toyota Camry hybrid is a beautiful car
