My wife is interested in exchanging her 67 plate 320d M Sport diesel car. I have found a 330e Petrol/electric car available nearby, which is priced quite competitively. It is a 72 plate model. She believes that the speed would be excessive for her, even if the engine has a capacity of 2 litres.
What is your expert view on the 300e? Given the availability of free charging at her workplace, it seems to be an obvious choice in terms of efficiency. Additionally, if she drives with a gentle acceleration, there should be no concerns about the additional power.
Does anybody know whether the insurance premiums for these hybrid vehicles are high?
