We pick the very finest hybrid SUVs on the road, with compact, family and luxury models all making the cut
Looking for a practical SUV that balances power, efficiency and eco-conscious driving? If so, a hybrid is the smart choice.
In a market divided between petrol and electric, hybrid SUVs deliver a winning mix of both.
At their best, they offer some of the fuel savings associated with an electric car teamed with the steadfastness of a combustion engine.
They’re also a hit with company car drivers, thanks to lower benefit-in-kind tax rates, making them a savvy financial pick too.
This list comprises of regular hybrid and plug-in hybrid SUVs.
PHEV tech works especially well in SUVs, where there’s space to fit batteries and motors without sacrificing too much practicality or comfort. Regular hybrid SUVs are less economical but are typically cheaper to buy and don’t need to be plugged in.
Topping our list is the Skoda Kodiaq PHEV. Our testers were impressed with its comfort, practicality and its 71 miles of electric-only range.
