Best Hybrid Mid-Size Sedans

Hybrid vehicles now come in diverse forms, covering almost everything from cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, MPVs to sports cars. Some models focus on energy and fuel efficiency, while others use a combination of gasoline and electricity to significantly improve performance. Faced with the dazzling array of hybrid cars on the market, it is difficult to distinguish which ones are just just making do and which ones are truly top-notch. Therefore, we have conducted comprehensive and systematic tests on almost all hybrid cars. Car and Driver's rankings are based on extensive instrument testing of hundreds of vehicle models every year, combined with subjective evaluations obtained by our professional editors during actual driving. We select the best hybrid car based on approximately 200 data indicators, including acceleration performance, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel economy, cost performance and driving pleasure. We attach great importance to rankings because we want you to fully understand every car you are interested in.

How We Rank

Car and Driver's ranking is based on two aspects: first, the data obtained from extensive instrument testing of more than 400 models every year, and the second, the subjective evaluation formed by our senior editorial team in actual road driving. We combined approximately 200 data points covering acceleration performance, handling, comfort, storage space, fuel efficiency, cost performance and driving pleasure to select the best hybrid compact sedan. We are very strict about rankings because we want you to have a comprehensive understanding of the models you are interested in. This list includes traditional non-luxury mid-size hybrid sedans (we have separate rankings for plug-in and luxury hybrid models).
