The Lexus ES 300h admirably combines high fuel efficiency with luxurious accommodations. We're not as fond of the distracting infotainment interface, however.

The Lexus UX will appeal to you if you're seeking a fuel-efficient and upscale small vehicle. Its hybrid powertrain gets great mpg and makes enough power to move through traffic with ease. But the diminutive size of the UX takes a toll on interior room and cargo space, and its elevated price tag flirts with larger, more luxurious SUVs.
MSRP
$36,540 - $46,575

Best Luxury plug-in hybrid cars

Luxury PHEVs prioritize refinement, comfort and, in some cases, lots of extra torque from their electric motors. But you can expect impressive fuel economy, too.

Mercedes-Benz took what was already one of the best luxury sedans on the road and made it quicker, more efficient and (marginally) less expensive. The only catches here: It's more expensive than its rivals and it fails to look the part from the outside. It also prioritizes passenger space over cargo space almost to a fault.

The urbane Volvo S90 T8 plug-in hybrid has a combined 400 horsepower and all-wheel drive to accompany its impressive list of luxuries and, of course, safety features.

The Volvo S60 Recharge provides a bridge between the worlds of gas and electric vehicles. Its electric motor is powerful enough to deliver a near full-EV experience for more than 40 miles of driving, while the interior features luxury-grade materials and very comfortable front seats.

You'd be right to expect amazing things from the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance. After all, it's 671 hp from a small sedan. But the car's plug-in hybrid powertrain adds a bunch of weight, and that negatively affects handling and road comfort. If you're searching for the 'ultimate driving' sedan, you should probably shop at a different German dealership.
MSRP
$86,050

Best Luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs

Luxury PHEV SUVs offer improved fuel efficiency and limited all-electric range in refined packages. These premium vehicles don't sacrifice comfort or acceleration to earn their green cred.

The XC60 is a small luxury SUV and Volvo's most popular model. The powerful T8 plug-in hybrid pairs elegant design and luxurious amenities with serious power and a useful 36 miles all-electric driving range. It's a top choice if you're looking for a luxury hybrid SUV.

The BMW X5 boasts a classy-looking cabin, plenty of upscale features and pleasing performance. A variety of engines are also available to appeal to the power-hungry and fuel-conscious alike. There are some drawbacks, such as controls that are difficult to use, but overall the X5 is one of the most appealing midsize luxury SUVs on the market.
MSRP

The Lexus TX 550h+ is impressively family-friendly. It offers fantastic passenger space in all three rows and lots of cargo space. Unfortunately, it's a little too similar to the mechanically identical Toyota Grand Highlander to justify its price tag.
MSRP
$77,210
5th
Edmunds Rating
7.7/10
The NX 450h+, which is the plug-in hybrid version of the NX SUV, is comfortable, fuel-efficient and loaded with in-car tech and driver aids. Its 36-plus miles of all-electric range also means you can save quite a bit on gas. Only ho-hum performance and utility hold it back from being truly great.
MSRP
$61,240 - $62,330

Elegant and stylish, the Volvo XC90 is exquisitely appointed and decidedly classy. The T8 plug-in hybrid drivetrain makes healthy power, yet it is one of the more efficient plug-in hybrids in its class. It has an estimated electric-only range of 18 miles.
MSRP
$71,900 - $80,700

The Alfa Romeo Tonale looks sharp and its sporty performance makes it fun to drive. It's also a plug-in hybrid, so you'll be able to save on gas if you frequently charge the battery. But the Tonale's high price and somewhat finicky tech interface are notable drawbacks.
MSRP
$36,495 - $54,495
