Hybrid vehicles come in many forms, from cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, MPVs, and even sports cars, covering almost all models. Some models focus on fuel economy, while others rely on a combination of gasoline and electricity to significantly improve performance. With so many hybrid models on the market, it is not easy to tell which ones are just "good" and which ones are truly "outstanding." Therefore, we have conducted a comprehensive test and evaluation of almost every hybrid model.
The ranking of Car and Driver is derived from the large amount of instrument test data we conduct on hundreds of cars every year, as well as the subjective feelings of our expert editors during actual road driving. We ranked the best hybrid cars based on approximately 200 data points, covering acceleration, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel efficiency, cost performance and driving pleasure. We are meticulous about the ranking process because we want you to have a comprehensive understanding of every car you are interested in.
