Before you finalize your choice of fuel type, we suggest thoroughly evaluating your driving habits. Do you usually drive in city traffic or on highways and freeways? How many miles do you cover on a weekly basis?

For short trips, range is rarely a limitation, so electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol can be fine. For longer daily journeys, consider an electric car, especially if you have the option to charge at home or at work. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Diesel cars may still be relevant in some cases with very long journeys and lack of charging options. Note that there are countries where diesel engines with heavy emissions are forbidden from entering city areas.

It’s worth noting that convertibles tend to be heavier than normal cars due to the lack of roof, as thickener is applied underneath the car to strengthen the chassis.
