Comfort, utility and performance are certainly priorities for luxury automakers, but what about fuel economy? The Lexus RX 450h hybrid answers the call, earning excellent fuel economy ratings while transporting passengers in absolute serenity.

The Lexus UX 250h is a stylish and fuel-efficient little runabout. Unique interior design helps set it apart, but traces of its compact-car roots come through in the on-road experience, making the high price tag a hard pill to swallow.

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 Porsche Panamera is easily one of the finest four-door cars in the world, providing both speed and luxury in abundance. The hybrid model puts out no less than 462 horsepower (and as much as 680!), making it clear that when it comes to the Panamera, you can have your cake and eat it, too.

The BMW 530e is a smart pick if you're looking for a fuel-efficient, top-notch luxury sedan. The 5 Series' impressive driving dynamics aren't compromised by the addition of the plug-in hybrid powertrain. This is a well-built, high-tech sedan that bathes you in quiet comfort.

The BMW 330e plug-in hybrid model isn't going for maximum fuel economy; rather, it looks to blend restrained luxury with an efficient powertrain that won't lull you to sleep. This is one hybrid that should appeal to people who like to drive.

The Volvo S60 Recharge easily switches between quick acceleration and emissions-free luxury in ample comfort, which helps set it apart from other rival sedans. But compromised storage space and a frustrating user interface ultimately hold it back from being truly great.

The Karma GS-6 offers more electric range than any other plug-in hybrid currently on sale in America. It looks sharp and is quick and sporty, but the GS-6 still suffers from many of its predecessors' flaws, including a tight cabin and minimal cargo space.

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 plug-in hybrid X5 delivers authoritative luxury and a reasonable all-electric range. There are certainly trade-offs (such as lethargic all-electric acceleration, but you won't find another midsize PHEV SUV that delivers such a cohesive luxury sport experience.

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.

The Lincoln Aviator is a stand out for its top-notch interior, modern tech, and excellent ride quality. As a plug-in hybrid, it has a useful electric range of 21 miles and impressive straight-line speed, but it's exclusively available as a top-level trim which will cost you quite a bit of extra money.

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.

The Cayenne E-Hybrid is easily the quickest and most entertaining plug-in hybrid SUV around, but sporty handling means the ride is firm, even with the standard adaptive suspension. Cargo and passenger space are down on rivals, as is the all-electric range.
