Since the taxation changes back in April, there's a lot to consider when trying to work out which is the right Ranger for you and your business.
In our guide below, we will help you understand the costs and benefits of ownership between the Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) and Diesel variants.
This is based on a vehicle's CO2 band.
| PHEV | Diesel |
| (~60g/km) Main Pool | (~230g/km) Special Rate Pool |
| 18% Per Year | 6% Per Year |
Also worth noting that businesses can claim their tax relief x3 faster with hybrid vehicles.
As of 6th April 2025, Ranger Double Cab pick-ups are classified and taxed as passenger cars no matter what engine type they have.
However, BIK is calculated on a number of different variables:
CO2 emissions
Fuel Type
Electric Range Only
P11D Value
| PHEV 2.3l | Diesel 2.0l | |
| CO2 | ~60-70g/km | ~230g/km |
| Fuel Type | Plug-In Hybrid Petrol | Diesel |
| Electric Range | ~27-30 Miles | N/A |
| P11D Value | ~£50,000 | ~£47,000 |
PHEV BIK tax: ranges between 14% and 19%, using 16% as an average, and a £50,000 P11D value.
| 20% Tax | 40% Tax |
| £50,000 | £50,000 |
| 16% BIK | 16% BIK |
| £1,600 | £3,200 |
Diesel BIK tax: 37%, £47,000 P11D value.
| 20% Tax | 40% Tax |
| £47,000 | £47,000 |
| 37% BIK | 37% BIK |
| £3,478 | £6,956 |
As you can clearly see from the tables above, you can potentially save over £3,700 a year in tax for a 40% taxpayer with a PHEV.
| PHEV (16%) | Diesel (37%) |
| 40% taxpayers pay | 40% taxpayers pay |
| £1,804.80 per year | £4,173.60 per year |
Another bonus of PHEV is that you'll be ULEZ compliant across all UK cities!
