Some consideration.

There is a tax in France called "malus écologique" that depends on CO2 emissions, and it keeps raising. In 2024, it may become more expensive than the car itself, up to 60k€.

But for plug-in hybrids (>50km range), you don't have to pay that tax. So if you want a gas guzzler, buy the plug-in hybrid version.

A plug in hybrid is by no definition a gas guzzler. They are quite efficient. People like them because of the energy efficiency of short trips combined with the lack of range issues for long trips.

Being cheaper is a nice bonus.
