Best NEW Hybrid SUVs You Can Buy in 2024
Hybrid drivetrains are overtaking the automotive industry. These systems are boosting gas mileage, so now we have some SUVs with a 40 mpg rating. Also, hybrids are cleaner, emitting less gases, which can be the key factor for their market overtake in the future. Also,
You won’t pay them too much more compared to standard gas configurations. There are more hybrids added recently, and these are the best new hybrid SUVs for the upcoming season. Number 10: Toyota Rav4 The best-selling small SUV is
Bringing a few updates and now is available in two additional trim levels – TRD Off-Road and Adventure. In the new packages, you can find two-tone paints, including the new Army Green, a well-known finish from the TRD Pro lineup. The compact SUV dominates the sales thanks to
Its efficient hybrid system. Engineers combine a 2.5-liter four-cylinder unit with two electric motors to get 41 mpg city and 38 mpg highway ratings. The battery also boosts the overall horsepower rating, so the combined output goes up to 219 hp. That’s not
All – the Rav4 Prime plug-in hybrid elevates the performance to new heights. With it, a small SUV puts out 302 horsepower and is able to hit 60 in 5.5 seconds. And, if you use only an electric motor as a powertrain, this Rav4 covers 42 miles.
The MSRP of the base hybrid is $31,475 and the Rav4 Prime starts at $43,440. Number 9: BMW X5 xDrive 50e The X5 is redesigned for the 2024 and the first thing you’ll notice is a new grille and headlights, refreshing the front
Fascia. When you jump inside the cockpit, an all-new infotainment system is there, along with the massive instrument screen, all integrated into one massive, curved panel. When it comes to engine choice, the 2024 BMW X5 xDrive 50e is the model to watch. Priced
At $72,500, it succeeds the xDrive45e. The new version adds 94 horsepower and now totals 483 hp. The range is also extended to 40 miles in the EV mode. The plug-in hybrid system needs 4.6 seconds for the 0-60 mph acceleration and only the new M60i model from the X5 fleet, with a 4.4-liter
V8 engine, can beat this record. Number 8: Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Hyundai sold more than 200k Tucsons in the US in 2023 and that is the third-best record, right behind the untouchable Toyota Rav4 and Honda CR-V. Bosses of the Korean company are happy,
But they want more. Therefore, the 2024 Hyundai Tucson is out with minor changes – more safety options are added to the standard offer; a huge 10.3-inch infotainment screen is available for more trim levels; the N-Line is now offered only for hybrid models.
Hybrid unit is one of the reasons for Tucson’s popularity. Together, an electric motor and a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine create 226 hp and 258 pound-feet. The PHEV configuration adds a bit of extra power and torque and also brings the benefit of EV mode, with a range of 33 miles. As
For the mpg ratings, the standard hybrid returns 38 mpg, which is way better than 28 mpg coming from a standard petrol setup. Expect to pay at least $33,660 for a hybrid version, while the plug-in hybrid system costs just under $40,000.
Number 7: Toyota Grand Highlander Toyota is a leader in the hybrid segment, and they are proving it with every new release. The latest example is the Grand Highlander SUV, a larger version of the Highlander. This is an all-new vehicle and compared to the existing
Highlander, it is 6.5 inches longer, 2 inches wider, and 2 inches higher. That means more cargo space – up to 97.5 cubic feet in total, as well as an extra 8 inches of legroom in the third row. Under the hood of the hybrid SUV is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Toyota sacrificed power
When replacing a V6 but the three-row hybrid gained extra mileage, and it now can return 35 mpg. The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is bigger and heavier, but won’t consume too much more gas. An alternative is a Hybrid Max model that uses a 2.4-l turbo-four petrol drivetrain for extra
Power. This one puts out 362 horsepower, but the mileage drops to 26 mpg combined. Price-wise, the additional cargo and passenger space reflects in higher cost, so expect to pay at least 43.000 for Toyota’s new family hauler. Number 6: Honda CR-V Hybrid
Honda added a new trim level for the hybrid lineup of its most popular SUV. The 2024 CR-V Sport-L slots between Sport and Sport Touring packages. Highlights of the new model are leather seats, parking sensors, a wireless charging pad, and a 9-inch multimedia touchscreen.
The powertrain setup remains unchanged. The 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid is powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine supported by a couple of electric motors. The system makes 204 hp. Base Sport trim and the new Sport-L are coming out with a front-wheel drive,
Leaving all-wheel drive optional to buyers looking for extra traction. The hybrid setup is one of the most efficient in the market. It returns 43 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on highways. The 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid costs $35,025, while the new Sport-L trim is $3,000 higher.
Number 5: Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe After the debut of the Wrangler SUV, the 4xe drivetrain expands to other vehicles. The Grand Cherokee is not ready for the next generation yet, but it gets a massive update under the hood, with the new plug-in hybrid
System. Other than that, the 2024 year model comes without significant changes. The SUV always had a variety of powertrains available and since the Hellcat unit with 707 hp is no longer there, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe PHEV somehow replaces it. A
2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an electric motor can deliver 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. An all-wheel drive is standard, and the company also offers a few different configurations of the AWD system. As for the price, the electrified Grand
Cherokee starts at just under $60,000, but can easily add up to $20,000 with all the extra features that come with the range-topping Summing Reserve version. Number 4: Lexus RX500h Lexus is selling more SUVs than any
Other company in the luxury segment and the RX is the frontrunner. The fifth generation debuted in 2022 and showed no signs of slowing down. Figures are still over 100,000 sold units per year, and nearly 20 percent of them are hybrids. Not only that the Lexus RX is efficient, but also reliable,
Durable, and keeps an excellent resale value. Under the hood of the 2024 Lexus RX500h is a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine. With the support of electric motors, the RX 500h can deliver 366 hp, and when you combine it with the F Sport Performance package,
It sprints 0-60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. It won’t harm the mileage of the luxury SUV, sitting at 27 mpg combined. And unlike some other Lexus Hybrids, this one uses a conventional 6-speed automatic, rather than a less inspiring CVT. The price of the 2024 Lexus RX500h is $63,800.
Number 3: Mazda CX90 PHEV The Mazda CX90 is an all-new vehicle. It is not replacing the CX-9, but it takes the performance to the next level thanks to a plug-in hybrid configuration. The SUV can take up to eight passengers and it is even more
Luxurious than previous Mazdas. The look of the cabin reminds us of smaller siblings, the CX-50 and CX-30, but brings nicer materials and a higher overall feel of quality. The new SUV comes out with new engines. For the powertrain, Mazda engineers used a four-cylinder
Engine in combination with electric motors, for a total output of 323 horsepower. The system sends power through an 8-speed automatic transmission to all wheels and besides plenty of power, it also offers pretty decent fuel economy – around 24 mpg city and 27 mpg highway.
The PHEV also covers 26 miles in electric mode, while 0-60 takes around 5.9 seconds. The 2024 Mazda CX90 PHEV is available in three trim levels – Preferred priced at $48,820; Premium priced at $54,275; and Premium Plus priced at $58,325.
Number 2: Lexus TX 550h+ It didn’t take too long to file for the trademark and launch the all-new luxury SUV. The Lexus TX is here and it is not a surprise seeing it with a hybrid engine. Everything on the SUV is new, even though it shares the architecture with the Toyota
Grand Highlander. A couple of hybrid models are available but the 550h+ is the one to go with. The 2024 Lexus TX550h+ exploits a 3.5-liter V6 engine, pairs it with a PHEV system and bursts 404 horsepower. A CVT sends power to all wheels. The new SUV needs 5.5 seconds to accelerate to
60 mph but it can also make up to 33 miles in the EV mode if you want to save some gas. Lexus TX is pretty big, so don’t expect some impressive fuel efficiency ratings. Still, 27 mpg is not bad for a vehicle producing 404 hp. The company is yet to announce the official
Pricing for the 2024 Lexus TX550h+ version but experts believe it can cost around $75,000. Number 1: Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid Whenever you speak of performance and luxury, you can’t miss Porsche. The German company made a stunning move when decided to build four-door
Vehicles. Cayenne was an instant success and Porsche continues to build on from there. The mid-size SUV is now available with five different engine configurations, and we chose the most powerful one – the 2024 Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid, which costs nearly $150,000.
For that money, you get a hybrid system based on a 4.0-liter V8 bi-turbo petrol engine. Even alone, this powerplant can put out stunning numbers. With the help of electric motors, the total output of the hybrid system is 729 hp, which is enough to hit sixty in just 3.5
Seconds. The range is not too impressive with 20 miles on a single charge, but you can achieve 84 mph top speed with this luxury SUV. Thanks for watching, see you next time!
