Company Car - PHEV - Big or Small Engine
Discussion
New company car list was sent to me today so I have been working through the pro's and con's of each.
Pretty good list, all PHEV's, with the choice of Audi, Cupra, Kia, Hyundai, Skoda, Toyota & VW.
One thing I have been thinking about is the financial benefit of a small engine (1.5ltr) vs a larger engine (2.5ltr).
Example.
-Skoda Kodiaq 1.5 PHEV - 70 mile electric range
-Toyota Rav4 2.5 PHEV - 46 miles electric range
The Skoda is lower in Company Car Tax and has a better electric range, however, I pay for all my fuel and claim it back using the HMRC Advisory Fuel Rates.
For the Skoda this would be 0.14ppm and the Toyota 0.22ppm. By my calculations (average 2.5k miles per month) the Toyota would be financially beneficial despite being more in tax per month.
Anyone else come across this and any thoughts on if the ppm based on engine size will change significantly in the future?

A key aspect is how much of the milage is expensed verses private and any charging element.Pretty good list, all PHEV's, with the choice of Audi, Cupra, Kia, Hyundai, Skoda, Toyota & VW.

I've an X1 PHEV 1.5, so lower ppm rate, however I get free charging at work which more than compensates as I'm not doing huge business milage..
I work with the demo fleets at Toyota / lexus, I had one for a few days and surprised how economical the 2.5 hybrid was. For me claiming the extra may work out well.
It's the reason I always have a 3.0d so I can claim the higher amout (I'm on car allowance so no bike ovs)
I had a 1.2 petrol Peugeot for a while and lost money when travelling with work on the difference between what I spent and what I could claim, with my BMW I now make money.
