What is the best automatic diesel car for taxi use please?

Skoda Superb. Great value for money, practical and cheap to run. Also consider a Vauxhall Insignia or, if you'd prefer something a bit smaller, a Honda Civic.

Which small-medium sized car would you recommend as a local taxi? Hybrids are expensive so I'm thinking a petrol, with no DMF and chain driven. Better if it is non-turbo too but that isn't a deal breaker...

Large hatchback that offers excellent value for money. Limousine-like legroom and bootspace. Efficient range of engines. Improved even more with 2019 facelift.
Represents good value for money. Big boot and generous amount of rear legroom. Diesels are very economical.
More comfortable ride than the hatchback. Available with new nine-speed automatic gearbox
