Best Plug-in Hybrid SUVs of 2023 and 2024

The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid is easy to drive and provides sufficient all-electric range. Even those who don't know the ins and outs of a plug-in hybrid will be able to take advantage of its pleasing comfort and value.

The Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid makes the most of advances in batteries, electric motors and fuel efficiency to be a comfortable and frugal runabout. It's a great option for buyers looking to add a little electric mobility to their commute without committing to a fully electric vehicle.

The Kia Sorento plug-in hybrid's fuel efficiency and overall easy-to-drive nature are commendable, but its steep asking price makes us question its value proposition. We think the standard Sorento is a bit more well-rounded and affordable.

The Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid is perfect for daily driving around town without using a sip of gasoline. This compact SUV is also quite comfortable, spacious and loaded with modern tech features.

The Crosstrek Hybrid is a slightly quicker, sometimes quieter version of the Crosstrek that delivers confident road manners, an agreeable interior, and excellent off-road potential. Other than cost, its main drawback is the battery's intrusion into the cargo area.

The RAV4 Prime is a comfortable, small SUV that delivers big on fuel economy and power. The Prime can travel an estimated 42 miles on electric power alone, which makes it easy to save gas when you want to, and it's a fair bit quicker than anything else in the class when you decide to burn a little fuel.

The Wrangler Unlimited 4xe's plug-in hybrid powertrain gives you a pleasing power boost and the ability to drive about 21 miles on all-electric power on a full battery charge. All of the typical Wrangler attributes are intact, too.

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.
