Hybrid vehicles come in many forms, including cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, MPVs, and even sports cars. Some models pursue fuel efficiency, while others use a combination of gasoline and electricity to significantly improve performance. Faced with so many hybrid models, it is difficult to tell which ones are just "not bad" and which ones are truly excellent. Because of this, we have conducted a comprehensive test and evaluation of almost every hybrid vehicle.
The ranking of Car and Driver stems from our extensive instrument testing of hundreds of vehicle models every year, as well as the professional subjective evaluations formed by the editorial team during actual road driving. We rank the best hybrid vehicles based on approximately 200 data points, including acceleration, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel efficiency, value for money and driving pleasure. We take rankings seriously because we want you to have a comprehensive understanding of the models you are interested in.
