Is anyone aware of a good site that has up to date info on current hybrid electric ranges?

Reason i ask is that i stumbled across the new updated RRS which has a WLTP of 70 miles electric range. This is good from a BIK salary sacrifice perspective as makes them an attractive option if not going full EV.

However when searching for info on other updated models it is quite tricky to find the latest info - this for example was an article from the 2nd Dec (well after the RRS out) and it doesnt even list the RRS on there https://leasing.com/top-picks/best-hybrids-for-ele... and lots of other similar ones do the same.

Thanks

Comcar website usually pretty good with this sort of thing. New Lexus NX and (as of last week) updated Jag F pace aren’t too bad from a BIK perspective as well.

That's a great shout, hadn't seen their find cars section and that's perfect. New Jag F pace is also good option - Thanks!

They announced increased range on this in the last couple of weeks I think. Probably only available on new orders I suspect and will take a while to come through

Just to add to this I read today about the new X5 50e with an announcement end of this month apparently. It is on show in the Brussels Car show from 14th Jan also.

They have increased range by 25% apparently, annoyingly it seems to mean around 65 miles on WLTP which means it just misses out on the lower BIK tax rate. Hope that's wrong and they have got into the 70's like the RRS did!
