Best Plug-In Hybrid Luxury SUVs

Hybrid vehicles come in many forms, including cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, MPVs and even sports cars. Some models focus on fuel economy, while others rely on a combination of gasoline and electric to significantly improve performance. Faced with so many hybrid models, it is not easy to distinguish between "not bad" and "really good". Therefore, we have conducted a comprehensive test and evaluation of almost every hybrid model.

Car and Driver's ranking is based on the extensive instrument test data we conduct on hundreds of cars every year, as well as the subjective feelings of editorial experts in real driving. We rank the best hybrid vehicles based on approximately 200 data indicators, including acceleration, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel efficiency, cost performance and driving pleasure. We take rankings very seriously because we want you to have a comprehensive understanding of the vehicles you are interested in.
