The Top 15 BEST Hybrid SUVs In 2024!

Hybrid SUVs are no longer just “planetsaving” family haulers. They now offer a whole lot more. So, in no particular order, here’s our top 15 picks for hybrid SUV in 2024!

Hyundai Tucson Hybrid

The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid checks a lot of the right boxes. It offers an eyecatching exterior, a polished interior and an efficient hybrid engine that also offers more power than many other SUVs in its class.

Under the hood you’ll find a turbocharged 1.6liter fourcylinder combined with an electric motor for a total output of 226 horsepower and 258 poundfeet of torque. A sixspeed automatic and allwheel drive are standar, helping propel the Hyundai from 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds.

EPA estimates 38 mpg for both city and highway. That’s obviously better than the gasonly Tucson which can’t do better than 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway.

As for towing, the Tucson Hybrid can haul up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped. Speaking of equipment, the basic Blue trim of the Tucson will get you cloth upholstery, an eightway poweradjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats and a 10.25inch touch screen with navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, 4 USB ports, Bluetooth, dualzone climate control, a handsfree liftgate and LED headlights.

Standard driverassistance features include a rearview camera, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, forward automatic emergency braking, blindspot monitoring, lanekeep assist, rear crosstraffic alert, adaptive cruise control, driverattention monitoring, automatic highbeam headlights, and rearseat alert, with vehicle exit warning. The Hyundai rear occupant alert uses an ultrasonic sensor to monitor the rear seats and also reminds drivers to check the rear seats before exiting the vehicle. Moreover, if it detects movement in the rear seats after the driver leaves, it will honk the horn and flash the lights.

All these smart features come as standard for a starting price of a little over $32K for the basic Blue trim. That’s really good value for the money.

Honda CRV Hybrid

Honda CRV is one of the most popular compact hybrid SUVs on the market at the moment. It stands out for its practicality, elegance and costeffectiveness.

The hybrid powertrain pairs a 2.0liter fourcylinder with two electric motors for 204 smooth horsepower. That will propel the Sport Touring Hybrid version from 0 to 60 mph in 7.9 seconds. Frontwheel drive is standard for the base model. Allwheel drive is available for $1,500 on the Sport and SportL trims, and it comes standard on the Sport Touring trim which is also the most expensive one. Although not ideally what you’d want from an SUV, the frontwheel drive version is the most efficient, being rated at 40 mpg combined by the EPA, while allwheel drive gets an economy rating of 37 mpg.

If you’re thinking of towing, the CRV Hybrid can tow up to 1000 pounds only. But that’s not why you should consider buying the CRV Hybrid. You’d want to purchase this $36K hybrid SUV for its very comfortable drive and roomy interior. There are highquality materials throughout, especially in the leatherclad Sport Touring trim. A nice honeycombtexture trim conceals the air vents, for a more luxurious visual appeal. Everything is where it’s supposed to be, from the climatecontrol knobs to the touchscreen controls for the infotainment. The gauge cluster also features a configurable digital display.

The base model will get you a 7.0inch touchscreen display compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The SportL and Sport Touring models step it up with a bigger 9.0inch touchscreen that enables wireless smartphone mirroring. The topoftheclass Sport Touring trim also introduces a builtin navigation system, SiriusXM satellite radio for endless entertainment, and a convenient wireless charging pad for your phone.
