Best Luxury hybrids

Luxury hybrids offer impressive fuel economy, of course, but healthy power from their electric motors can also make them quicker than their gas-powered counterparts.

2026 Lexus ES
Edmunds Rating
8.3/10
The Lexus ES is one of your best options for a luxury sedan. It's impressively roomy and comfortable, and its tech features are helpful and easy to use. It's also available as a hybrid or a fully electric version to help you save on gas. The only thing missing is performance, but if comfortable, easy transportation is your aim, look no further.

2026 Lexus UX 300h
Edmunds Rating
5.5/10
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.

2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE
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.

2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG E 53 Wagon
Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
The Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid wagon is fast, practical and stylish. The plug-in hybrid powertrain also allows for 40-plus miles of all-electric driving, if that's your thing. However, the E 53 suffers from an overly firm ride, and not all of our drivers love the car's screen-intensive interior.

2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG E 53
Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is an exemplar of both comfort and luxury, and the AMG E 53 adds a healthy dollop of performance to that equation. Smooth, elegant and seriously quick, the E 53 doesn't compromise the E-Class' core values in its quest to provide an engaging drive.

2027 BMW M5 Touring
Edmunds Rating
6.4/10
The BMW M5 Touring helps keep the high-performance wagon dream alive in the U.S. Its technology features, interior quality and everyday practicality are beyond reproach, but a heavy curb weight dampens its performance capabilities.

MSRP
$123,300 - $125,300
Combined MPG

2027 BMW M5
Edmunds Rating
6.2/10
The BMW M5 is supposed to do a little bit of everything. The redesigned M5 offers some striking numbers and a great interior, but it has gained half a ton in weight and lost some of its dynamic talents in the process. If you want one, don't let us stop you — just know this M5 isn't as sharp as the M5s of old.

2026 Mercedes-Benz S 580e Hybrid
Edmunds Rating
8.0/10
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.

$130,400

2027 Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid
Edmunds Rating
6.1/10
The Porsche Panamera will impress you with its quick acceleration, engaging handling and practical cargo area. But its technology features and overall comfort lag behind what you get from other executive luxury sedans.

1st
2026 Lexus NX 450h+
Edmunds Rating
7.0/10
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 37 miles of all-electric range also means you can save quite a bit on gas. Only ho-hum performance and cargo space hold it back from being truly great.

MSRP
$57,810 - $62,830
Combined MPG

2nd
2026 Volvo XC60
Edmunds Rating
6.8/10
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.

2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale
Edmunds Rating
6.3/10
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

2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450e
Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
The Mercedes GLE is one of the best luxury SUVs on sale today. It brings the heat with a top-notch interior, exceptional build quality, helpful technology features and a diverse lineup of engines. This is a luxury SUV that quietly executes its job with ease.

2026 Lexus RX 450h+
Edmunds Rating
7.5/10
The Lexus RX 450h+ is a compelling pick for a fuel-efficient luxury SUV. It managed to drive more than 40 miles on all-electric power in our testing. And even after the battery runs out, you're still getting more than 30 mpg from the hybrid powertrain. We also like the RX's cushy and quiet cabin.

MSRP
$65,230 - $71,860

2026 BMW X5 xDrive50e
Edmunds Rating
7.5/10
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.

2026 Lexus TX 550h+
Edmunds Rating
7.4/10
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
$80,610

2027 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
Edmunds Rating
6.9/10
The Range Rover Sport has a modern, impeccably tailored interior and great technology offerings. It's also at its best when equipped with the plug-in hybrid powertrain that provides 53 miles of all-electric range and robust acceleration.

MSRP

6th
2026 Volvo XC90
Edmunds Rating
6.4/10
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
$76,200 - $83,900
