Which hybrid estate do you recommend?
We live in Greater London so likely to be affected by the possible revised ULEZ change in 2023. We currently own a Volkswagen Passat Estate 2011 2.0 TDI. We have a dog and like to go camping hence the larger car and boot capacity. What are the best options for us for hybrid? We generally buy high mileage second hand cars and run them into the ground but open to all options.

Can you charge a car at home (i.e. have off-street parking with access to electricity)? If so, we'd recommend skipping the hybrid stage and going straight to an electric vehicle like the excellent (and relatively affordable) MG 5 EV estate. Otherwise, a hybrid estate could be a good option. A used Toyota Corolla Touring Sports would be a sensible purchase.
