Nissan's e-POWER technology deserves a moment of explanation, because it's genuinely unlike anything else in this segment. The upgraded system produces up to 205 horsepower and delivers instant torque from the electric motor - so pulling away from junctions or overtaking on A-roads feels effortless and smooth. There are no gears to change and no turbo lag to wait for.

Under the skin, the 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine runs as a generator, keeping a small 2.1kWh battery topped up. Nissan claims up to 42% thermal efficiency from the latest version, which translates to impressive real-world fuel economy - many owners report figures close to 50mpg in mixed driving. For a car of this size, with this level of refinement, that's genuinely hard to beat.
