Which PHEV should I choose as a company car?

I have about £36,000 to spend on a company car and I am looking for a PHEV. My ideal car would be a PHEV Mazda CX-30 but as Mazda don't make one what would you recommend as an alternative?

I would recommend a BMW X1 xDrive25e if you can get one on budget. They're great to drive and get a good range from their battery. They're nicely built inside and very well designed with an interior that has space for four tall adults.

Also consider the MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid that is essentially a rebadged version of the same car.

Here's some more info on each:
