​As car makers continue their efforts to cut their vehicles’ emissions, hybrids are an increasingly popular alternative for buyers who aren’t quite ready to make the switch to an electric car. The best hybrids offer better efficiency than regular petrol or diesel models by combining a traditional combustion engine with one or more electric motors. While many petrol cars are now fitted with mild-hybrid technology, the full hybrids we're concentrating on here offer the biggest benefits.

You will find no fewer than 813 cars that were homologated for Group A use within the FIA’s Historic Database, and among them some real surprises. The Hyundai Pony is a bit of an eyebrow-raiser, and India’s Hindustan Ambassador even more so. And despite knowing it’s there, you’ll search in vain for an Impreza… until you realise it’s listed under Fuji, Subaru’s parent company. Then you scroll to Ford, and one car immediately stands out.

Do you recall the Porsche 911 GT1 in evo issue 001? Allan McNish does, though not for the reasons you might expect. ‘I remember it well,’ he says as we email back and forth to arrange our chat. ‘An old BT van tried to have a race with us on the dual carriageway…’Given McNish had just stepped down from the top step of the podium at Le Mans, and the 544bhp GT1 was one of the world’s most potent road cars at the time, it’s fair to assume the BT van didn’t stand a chance.

The best small cars on sale today aren’t just easy to drive, they’re brimming with more safety kit and in-car tech than ever before. Not only do a lot of small cars provide a feeling of refinement previously reserved for ‘big cars’, they’re generally affordable to buy and run day-to-day plus cheap to insure. While city car favourites such as the Fiat 500e and Kia Picanto might spring to mind when someone mentions the term ‘small cars’, the level of choice is actually much broader.

Small hybrid cars aren’t exactly common. We already have lists of the best hybrid cars and best plug-in hybrid cars on sale in the UK today and throughout those breakdowns, a common theme emerges. The vast majority of hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles on sale now are based on larger SUVs and saloon cars, which sit towards the higher end of the market in terms of size and price. From an engineering perspective, this makes sense.
