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.

1st
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. Read full review
