Our editors can help you make the best decision on a car that fits your life. We want to know if there's enough room for our families and our weekend gear and whether our favorite drink fits in the cupholder. And we pay attention to all the ways people use their cars every day. Our analysis dives deep into trim levels, pricing, features, mpg, safety, interior design, and driving and performance. We've put these hybrid SUVs through rigorous testing, evaluating how they drive and comparing them in detail to their competitors. Our editors have compiled robust ratings and reviews for today's crop of hybrid SUVs. But whether you're looking for maximum fuel efficiency with simple utility or something with more style and cachet, we've brought together today's best hybrid SUVs in one place, along with our insightful reviews to help you decide the right fit. And while interest in hybrids tends to rise along with fuel prices, regular crossovers generally tend to offer a more affordable alternative without sacrificing much fuel efficiency.Īccordingly, there are only a few good picks among mainstream models that start at less than $40,000, and only a handful more at the luxury level. Rear-seat and cargo space often suffer as a result. Finding space for a hybrid battery pack, especially in an SUV that also needs to offer all-wheel drive, presents an additional challenge for automakers. Since SUVs sit higher off the ground, they create more aerodynamic drag than sleek hybrid hatchbacks like the Toyota Prius that can achieve 50 mpg.
