What small plug-in hybrid would you recommend?

Can you advise as to which in you opinion is the best small PHEV hybrid? I'm not interested in a 'charge on the go' hybrid as a lot of my journeys are short and would not allow sufficient time to charge. I currently drive a BMW 225XE hybrid which is a great car but getting a bit long in the tooth now .

There are a limited number of small PHEVs on the market, but we would suggest looking at the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and X1, Kia Niro and Peugeot 308, all of which are available as a plug-in hybrid.
