A budget of £40,000 will buy you a very decent family car. However, aside from choosing what make or model you want, first you need to decide whether it should be petrol, electric, hybrid or diesel.

Within that choice, there's no escaping the fact that electric cars are still expensive relative to petrol, and nowhere is this illustrated better than in today's CarGurus UK head-to-head video, where the fully electric Peugeot E-308 meets the recently updated petrol Mercedes A-Class.

Both of our contenders are in top-spec trim, and both cost the same. With Peugeot's push to go upmarket, can it really take on the Mercedes for interior quality and equipment? And can the mild-hybrid 1.3-litre petrol engine in the Mercedes match the performance and refinement of its EV rival? Vicky Parrott puts both cars to the test, and the results might just surprise you.
