What is a good small to medium hybrid hatchback?
We're looking to buy a small to mid size hybrid hatchback. I've reviewed the Toyota Corolla and although I like the drive I don't like the styling/design. The car would need to have decent performance and be practical. Our budget is approx £20K. Could you please recommend a few suitable options.

There are a limited number of hybrid hatchbacks to choose from if the Corolla is not an option, so you may wish to consider the Renault Clio E-Tech or Honda Civic, both of which are full hybrids and are within your budget. If you would consider plug-in hybrids too this would widen your options to cars such as the Volkswagen Golf GTE and Peugeot 308.

Very efficient hybrid hatchback with a surprisingly upmarket interior. Good to drive, too. Standard equipment levels are generous.
