TOP 50 NON-ELECTRIC CARS RANKED
What Car? UK|April 2023
Don't want a car that needs plugging in? Worry not: there's plenty of choice, including lots of really talented models. Here, we count down the 50 best
TOP 50 NON-ELECTRIC CARS RANKED

50 Peugeot 208

Our pick 1.2 Puretech 100 Allure Premium+ List price £22,740
Target Price £21,272 Target PCP £256 Engine 3cyl, 1199cc, turbo, petrol Gearbox 6-spd manual 0-62mph 9.9sec Top speed 117mph MPG 56.7 CO2 112g/km

The 208 is one of the best small hatchbacks on sale today, particularly if comfort is high on your priority list.

Yes, the Ford Fiesta and Seat Ibiza deliver sharper handling and cost less to buy, but the 208 offers a more cosseting ride and quieter cruising manners. And similarly, if you value a classy, well-built interior that provides decent interior space, it won't disappoint.

As a bonus, the 1.2 Puretech 100 petrol engine is a punchy performer that doesn't drink a lot of fuel. We'd recommend Allure Premium+ trim, which brings smarter styling, a handy reversing camera and built-in sat-nav.

49 Dacia Jogger

Our pick TCe 110 Expression
List price £18,445 Target Price £18,225
Target PCP £217 Engine 3cyl, 999cc, turbo, petrol Gearbox 6-spd manual 0-62mph 11.2sec Top speed 114mph MPG 48.7 CO2 130g/km

Like all Dacias, the Jogger is very aggressively priced, but don't think that means it's full of compromises.
