Subaru is parading two eye-catching electric cars at the Geneva Motor Show including the G4e Concept - a striking five-seater supermini.

The G4e features lightweight lithium-ion batteries that store under the floor to give the car a 125-mile (200-kilometre) range.

Also on the Subaru show stand is the R1e electric city commuter, which recently underwent trials in London. This car can be fully charged in eight hours from a standard domestic current, with an 80 per cent recharge in just 15 minutes.

Finally, let us not forget the Geneva debuts of Subaru's all-new Forester 4x4 estate, and the diesel-engined Legacy models, which go on sale in the UK this spring.
