(iSeeCars) – As hybrid cars and electric vehicles proliferate, more and more shoppers are seriously considering the fuel-saving technology as a viable alternative to traditional internal combustion-powered vehicles.
While the variety of hybrid vehicles has never been greater, this list will focus solely on traditional cars from mainstream automakers, meaning hybrid sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, and convertibles from non-luxury brands. If you’re interested in the additional cargo space and practicality offered by a hybrid SUV or crossover, check out our Best Hybrid SUVs list. If you’re looking for a roomy luxury hybrid from brands like Audi, BMW, Lexus, or Volvo, check out our Best Luxury Hybrid Cars or Best Luxury Hybrid SUVs lists.
This list includes plug-in hybrid models (also called PHEVs), that feature a hybrid system with larger battery packs and a limited all-electric range before switching on their gasoline engine. It’s worth noting that while hybrid versions of popular models tend to cost more than their gasoline counterparts, they often come better equipped, too. This means more standard features and safety features are included in their new car price, even on basic midsize sedans. Advanced technology, like touchscreen infotainment systems and adaptive cruise control, are also more commonly associated with hybrid models.
Buyers looking to go all-electric-motor with zero emissions, whether that means the longstanding Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S or newer entries like the Porsche Taycan and Volkswagen ID.4, should check out our Best Electric Cars or Best Electric SUVs list. But for those of you not ready to completely abandon the gasoline engine, yet still interested in reducing your carbon footprint, we’ve identified the best hybrid models below.
