15 Best Electric Hybrid Cars Of 2024 And 2025

The automotive industry is continuing its march toward electrification. Many automakers have already announced intentions to only offer EVs in the near future, while others are continuing to expand their all-electric lineups. Still, not all consumers are ready to take the plunge into fully electric cars, trucks, or SUVs. EVs are costlier than their gas-only counterparts, and the United States’ charging infrastructure leaves much to be desired.

As such, hybrid and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) provide a viable alternative. They are far more efficient gas-only models, but they come with the convenience of filling up the tank in a traditional sense. To boot, they are usually more affordable than EVs, and their higher initial cost over gas-only models are usually recuperated through cost savings at the pump. Despite the saturated SUV market, those who still want a sedan have plenty of hybrid and plug-in hybrid options from which to choose. And, the cars below, hybrids and PHEVs from both mainstream and luxury automakers, are the best of the bunch.

In order to give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from various manufacturer websites and other authoritative sources, Kelly Blue Book, Car and Driver, and MotorTrend. The following entries were compiled with a focus on selecting a mix of models, including those from mainstream and luxury manufacturers, compacts to full-size offerings, and both hybrid and plug-in hybrids. The following entries are listed in no particular order.

1 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid

The Already Great Accord Gets The Hybrid Treatment

The Honda Accord remains a venerable champion of the midsize sedan category, and the 2024 Accord Hybrid has all the same positives with the benefit of improved mpg. It will net buyers 44-48 combined mpg depending on trim, according to the EPA. To boot, the Accord is stylish, comfortable, and practical without delivering dull overall characteristics. That’s not something that can be said for many hybrid sedans.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from Honda and Car and Driver )

The Accord’s hybrid powertrain is limited to the top four trims, but with it, buyers get plenty of desirable features and an intuitive layout. The Accord delivers exceptional practicality with loads of rear passenger space for its class and a sizable 16.7 cubic-foot trunk. For commuting duties, the ride is compliant and comfortable, but throw it into some corners and it will hold its own. Overall, the Accord Hybrid is one of the most complete midsize sedans available.

Pros

• Ample passenger and cargo space
• Compliant but agile handling
• Intuitive layout

Cons

• Some rivals offer even better mpg figures
• It can get pricey in upper trims
• No all-wheel drive

2 2024 Toyota Prius Prime

This Isn’t The Boring Prius Of Yesteryear

The 2024 Toyota Prius and the Prius Prime plug-in hybrid variant are a massive step forward for the nameplate. The current Prius, introduced for the 2023 model year, is now stylish, actually pleasing to drive, and it’s even more efficient than the previous generation. The Prius Prime PHEV delivers a notable 48-52 combined mpg, though you may not need any gasoline if the batteries remain charged. The Prime delivers 40-45 miles of all-electric range. Efficiency has always sold the Prius, but there’s now far more at play.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from Toyota)

Most notably, the Prius Prime doesn’t require drivers to constantly hammer the throttle to accelerate to a reasonable speed. A 0-60 run can be achieved in just 6.6 seconds. There are loads of standard features. And, it actually stands out in the parking lot in a good way. It’s stylish inside and out. This isn’t your grandfather’s Prius. The 2024 Prius Prime is an extremely compelling compact PHEV sedan.

Pros

• Stylish looks
• Loaded with standard features
• Exceptional all-electric range

Cons

• Rear seat headroom is tight
• Digital gauge cluster needs revising
• Pervasive engine note

3 2024 BMW 330e

The More Efficient 3 Series

The BMW 3 Series has a long history of rising up to the challenge when thrown into corners, but when the trek is more relaxed, the 2024 330e reminds drivers the sport compact can pull double duty as a competent and upscale commuter. The 330e sports a plug-in hybrid system and delivers a respectable 27 combined mpg and 22 miles of all-electric range with its lively 2.0-liter turbocharged hybrid engine.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from BMW and Kelley Blue Book)

The 3 Series was refreshed for 2023, and its cabin sports a modern design that doesn’t lean too heavily on digital displays (there are actual knobs and buttons). Additionally, cabin materials are appropriately upscale. The quality of ride is comfortable and the cabin is quiet. And when the mood strikes, the 3 Series is still a bonafide corner carver.

Pros

• Upscale, modern cabin
• Respectable fuel efficiency and range for its power
• Athletic when pushed

Cons

• Many desirable features are optional
• Steering feel is lacking
• Hybrid offers less trunk space

4 2024 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid

Excellent Efficiency And Value

The 2024 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid’s bold exterior packs in plenty of value. That starts with the Elantra’s impressive fuel economy. It’s rated for 50-54 combined mpg, depending on trim, making it one of the most efficient hybrids available. Adding to the appeal, the Elantra is loaded with standard features and Hyundai’s warranties are the most comprehensive in the industry.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from Hyundai and Motor Trend)

The Elantra Hybrid isn’t quick, but its hybrid 1.6-liter packs in enough punch for daily duties. Passenger space is generous in both rows, and the trunk delivers a respectable amount of storage space. The Elantra Hybrid delivers plenty of tech, including a standard 10.25-inch touchscreen, and the system and controls are easy to use. Overall, the 2024 Elantra Hybrid is certainly worth strong consideration for anyone shopping the compact sedan market, for a hybrid or otherwise.

Pros

• Extremely efficient
• Ample standard features
• Commodious interior

Cons

• Buzzy engine note
• Some rivals offer slightly more trunk space
• Some low-rent cabin materials

5 2024 Lexus ES 300h

A Quiet And Comfortable Fuel Sipper

Consider the 2024 Lexus ES 300h the more laid-back member of the luxury midsize hybrid/PHEV department. While others underscore their athleticism, the ES 300h is more content to provide respite from the daily grind on the daily commute. And it won’t take much gas to do so. The ES 300h is one of the more efficient hybrid sedans on the market, delivering up to 44 combined mpg.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from Lexus)

The ES’ cabin is quiet, it’s wrapped in upmarket finishes, and ride quality is supremely smooth. Adding to its aura of comfort, the ES’ seats are soft but supportive, and adults won’t feel cramped in the rear. But for those who still want some added zest, the F Sport Handling Package is available with features like a sports suspension. The 2024 ES 300h overall is a competent all-around midsize hybrid sedan.

Pros

• Ultra-smooth ride
• Quiet cabin
• Well appointed cabin

Cons

• Not as quick or agile as some rivals
• The rear seats don’t fold
• The infotainment system requires a slight learning curve

6 2024 Lexus LS 500h

The Non-German Executive Sedan

There are (spoiler alert) other full-size luxury sedans on this list, but when spending over $115,000 MSRP on one, reliability is certainly worth consideration. And among luxury manufacturers, Lexus has proved over the years to be the most reliable automaker of them all.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from Lexus and Kelley Blue Book)

Like the smaller ES, the LS 500h is extremely quiet and supple on the road, and with its added dimensions, there’s a whole lot more room to stretch. It’s stylish throughout, and while it’s not as agile as some competitors, its 354 horsepower is still ample get-up-and-go for everyday duties. The LS 500h will deliver 25 combined mpg.

Pros

• Supple ride quality
• Stylish design
• Appropriately luxe cabin

Cons

• Eye-popping price
• Lacks driving verve of rivals
• Clunky transmission

7 2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid

Solid All-Around

The 2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid isn’t outwardly exceptional in many ways, but it’s still one of the best all-around hybrids because it simply doesn’t get much wrong. For those seeking an everyday sedan that won’t break the bank and delivers respectable specs and feel all around, with the added benefit of an impressive 52 mpg combined in its most efficient form, the Camry Hybrid is eager to please.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from Toyota and Edmunds)

The Camry Hybrid’s powertrain isn’t the speediest, but it is quick enough. The ride quality isn’t sublime, but it’s comfortable. Its tech isn’t class-leading, but it is easy to use. The base model’s $29,950 MSRP is slightly higher than some competitors, but the Camry Hybrid delivers a good dose of standard features. Passenger and cargo space are also more than adequate for the midsize market. Overall, these make the Camry Hybrid an attractive choice for those who value efficiency and don’t want to make any sacrifices for it.

Pros

• Impressively efficient
• Comfortable ride quality
• Respectable trunk space and plenty of small storage spaces

Cons

• The Sonata Hybrid packs in more features as standard
• Rather dull driving dynamics
• Some low-rent cabin materials

8 Mercedes S580e

Power, Prestige, And Better Efficiency

The Mercedes S-Class is a venerable champ of the executive sedan market, and as expected, it remains stellar in plug-in hybrid form, namely, the 2024 S580e. The S580e packs in all the power, luxury, and refinement of an S-Class while chauffering passengers on nothing but electricity. Or 510-horsepower from its turbocharged hybrid inline-six. Either way, the S580e lives up to the S-Class name.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from Mercedes-Benz)

To note, the S580e isn’t notably more efficient than non-PHEV models at 23 combined mpg. But due to a large battery pack, it delivers up to a staggering 56 miles of all-electric range. Car and Driver actually bested that result in a real-world test with 56 miles solely on electric power. Sure, most won’t ever be able to afford one. Prices for the S580e start at an eye-popping $122,550 MSRP. But as always has been the case, the S-Class continues to be at the pinnacle of automotive technology, comfort, and opulence.

Pros

• Exudes refinement and class
• Cutting-edge tech
• The ultimate upscale sedan

Cons

• One-percenter price tag
• Limited trunk space
• Still not a fuel sipper

9 2024 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

A Revised, And Still Great, Midsize Hybrid

The Hyundai Sonata has undergone a significant refresh for 2024 with a stylish, revised exterior, improved tech, and an interior refresh. As such, the Sonata Hybrid is now more appealing than ever. With value, efficiency, and comfort at the forefront, the Sonata Hybrid is a smart choice in the midsize segment.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from Hyundai and Motor Trend)

Hyundai’s propensity for providing plenty of bang-for-the-buck is evident with the Sonata Hybrid’s long list of standard creature comforts and safety features. At $31,950 MSRP, some rivals are cheaper, but none can rival the Hyundai’s features list or the brand’s unbeatable warranty.

To boot, the Sonata delivers a comfortable ride, and respectable passenger and cargo space, and its hybrid four-cylinder engine provides enough grunt while delivering 47-52 combined mpg. And among its rivals, it can certainly be considered one of the most stylish options when you buy with your heart as much as your head.

Pros

• Notably efficient
• Packed with standard features
• Intuitive tech

Cons

• The ride can be harsh
• A bit pricier than some competitors
• Not particularly spacious for adult rear passengers

10 2024 Toyota Crown

An Oddball, Upscale Full-Size Hybrid

The 2024 Toyota Crown is only available as a hybrid, and it’s a bit of a strange one. The Crown straddles the line between midsize and full-size. It’s a sedan, but its styling and height are more in line with an SUV. It’s a Toyota, but it features a tinge of Lexus from its cabin. It can even be fitted with a two-tone paintwork. While unconventional, the Crown is certainly worth a look. If nothing else, it’s the only hybridized full-size, non-luxury sedan.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from Toyota)

The Crown is only available as a hybrid, though two powertrains choices are offered, either the base 2.5-liter hybrid four or the more powerful Hybrid Max dishing out over 360 horsepower. The standard engine is the far more efficient choice, delivering 41 combined mpg, making it a full-size sedan with (non-hybrid) compact-car efficiency. That size doesn’t translate to loads of interior or cargo space (it’s about as spacious as a Camry), but the Crown stands out for its upmarket cabin, which exudes some hints of Lexus. The cabin hushes outside noise, the ride quality is mostly supple, and for those who like it, the Crown looks like nothing else on the road.

Pros

• Upmarket interior
• The only hybrid in the full-size, non-luxury sedan segment
• Compliant ride

Cons

• Oddball looks
• Cargo and rear passenger space is lacking
• Pricey

11 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid

Small Price, Big Efficiency

Environmental concerns can play a major part in making the switch to a hybrid, but so too can savings at the pump. For those who want excellent efficiency without a high price of entry, the 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid is certainly an appealing option.

It might lack the refinement and pragmaticism of its midsize counterparts, but with a base price of $24,595, it’s the most affordable way to get behind the wheel of a hybrid sedan. And it’ll save at the pumps, too, with an EPA rating of 44-50 combined mpg depending on trim and drivetrain selections.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from Toyota and Motor Trend)

The Corolla Hybrid is a bit spartan in base trim, but a suite of safety features are standard. Those willing to pay a bit more than the base price can also opt for optional packages with some desirable features. Its 1.8-liter powertrain, though efficient, could use with some more passing power.

Its trunk offers a rather small 13.1 cubic-feet of storage space, and rear passenger space is ample for smaller kids, but adults will feel the squeeze. Ultimately, the Corolla Hybrid doesn’t deliver a “wow” factor, but for those who don’t need many frills, it remains the cheapest way to get into a hybrid sedan in 2024.

Pros

• Low entry price
• Solid mpg figures
• Plenty of standard safety features

Cons

• Lacks passing power
• Not particularly spacious
• Noisy cabin

12 Volvo S60 Recharge

A Sleeper Sedan With Impressive Power And Range

The Volvo S60 Recharge’s Scandinavian style doesn’t scream “performance,” but the experience behind its wheel certainly does. The 2024 S60 Recharge is one of the few compact luxury plug-in hybrids available, and it delivers a wallop of power, 455 horsepower to be exact. Its 31 combined mpg rating is impressive for its grunt, and drivers who keep its battery pack full are offered about 40 miles of all-electric range for more leisurely jaunts.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from Volvo)

Inside, the S60 Recharge is loaded with upmarket creature comforts and features no matter the trim selected. It’s also easy to appreciate the attractive cabin design and luxe materials. Ride quality is comfortable, its seats are wonderfully supportive and supple, and the cabin is quiet. Volvo has always been a bit of a left-field choice among luxury manufacturers, but the S60 Recharge underscores why the brand continues to be successful. It’s powerful, efficient, properly upmarket, and exudes a style that separates it from its class.

Pros

• Powerful hybrid engine
• Luxe cabin
• Notably all-electric range

Cons

• Not as much trunk space as some rivals
• Lacks overall athleticism compared to some luxury compact sedans
• Google infotainment system can be difficult to use

13 BMW 750e xDrive

Opulence And Leading-Edge Tech

The BMW 7 Series lives up to its flagship status with big dimensions, a properly upscale and tech-showcase cabin, and a big price tag. The 750e is the plug-in hybrid version, and it’s just as impressive as the gas-only version. That starts with its opulence. Its cabin is massive and filled to the brim with cutting-edge technology and impressively upscale features, including an available 31-inch rear seat “theater” screen. The 750e is practically a luxury private jet for the road.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from BMW)

Those driving or playing chauffeur will appreciate the 750e’s standard air suspension, and there’s plenty of power on tap from the turbocharged hybrid inline-six. To note, the EPA has not yet rated the 750e, but BMW claims it can achieve up to 35 miles of all-electric range. Not all are going to appreciate the 750e’s unusual styling, but once they climb inside, they are bound to appreciate everything else.

Pros

• Opulent interior
• Supple ride
• Leading-edge tech

Cons

• Most functions must be controlled through the touchscreen
• Options will quickly balloon its already high price
• Outlandish exterior styling

14 Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid

A Large Hybrid Sedan With Sports Car Agility

The Porsche Panamera enters its third generation in 2024, and it continues to provide the athleticism expected of a Porsche with the convenience of four doors. Additionally, the E-Hybrid models, in both standard and Turbo iterations, pack in plenty of power with the added benefit of a plug-in hybrid powertrain for all-electric driving.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from Porsche)

As of this writing, Porsche hasn’t released the full specs for the revised 2024 Panamera E-Hybrid, but the Turbo model will reportedly deliver a staggering 670-horsepower. E-Hybrid models will add to their athleticism with the Active Ride suspension system, which enhances cornering abilities and softens the suspension on casual drives. For convenience, it is a sedan, after all, the system also raises the Panamera to ease getting in and out. Ultimately, the Panamera E-Hybrid shows that a hybrid sedan doesn’t have to equate to boring. For enthusiasts, it’s a hugely appealing hybrid corner carver.

Pros

• Loads of power
• Agile handling
• It’s still practical

Cons

• E-Hybrid models start over $110,000
• The lineup is somewhat confusing
• Not particularly efficient when the battery is drained

15 Volvo S90 Recharge

A Stylish But Understated Performer

Like its smaller sibling, the S60 Recharge, the S90 Recharge is an understated but stylish luxury sedan delivering a unique upscale atmosphere, comfort, and plenty of power. The S90 Recharge uses the same hybrid powertrain as the S60 Recharge, and with its added dimensions, its slightly slower and less efficient. However, there’s still 455 horsepower on tap, good for a 4.6-second jaunt from 0-60, and it delivers 30 combined mpg and 38 miles of all-electric range.

Performance Specifications

(Data was collected from Volvo)

The S90 Recharge isn’t overly different from its smaller sibling inside or out, but buyers get the added benefit of additional pragmaticism. The S90 Recharge comfortably seats adults in the back seat and offers two more cubic feet of trunk space. Those shopping for a hybrid executive sedan will also appreciate the S90 Recharge’s ample standard features and its $67,045 starting MSRP, which undercuts its fellow full-size hybrid sedans by five figures.

Pros

• Stylish and comfortable
• 38 miles of all-electric range
• Far more affordable than other luxury full-size hybrid sedans

Cons

• Trunk space is limited
• Fussy infotainment system
• Not as agile as some rivals
