While these hybrids may get 53 mpg over say 30 mpg for a gas (non-hybrid) you will need a battery most likely after about 100k with a hybrid, and that could eat up any savings you gained by getting better gas mileage (over a normal non-hybrid gas vehicle). If we're talking 3x the gas mielage (so say 70 mpg, then that's different but just double the gas mileage or 20% more is not enough to make me buy one). Heck, my gas Camry gets 41 MPG on the highway. Hybrid version is about 52 mpg, but costs about $8k more. Not worth it. The thing is people need to calculate the cost wit ha new battery after about 150k miles or 10 years as that's when most will need a new one. Prices can range but are usually around $5k installed for an OEM one. In some basic calculations I did myself, it would be a wash in many cases, so you might as well just avoid a hybrid as you wouldn't really be saving anything over a 10 year period at 15k miles per year. You'd be savying about $4k on gas over that time frame, but then again, after 10 years You'd probably have to spend about $4k to get another battery that would last another 10 years (ie. a new OEM one versus a refurbished one which may only last a few years but cost half the price). So longer-term cost to own a vehicle is important to figure out particularly if you're the type that likes to keep a vehicle for a long period of time (10+ years). If you only plan to keep the vehicle through the warranty, then that's a different story. But the same process should be done for an EV as well, as those can get expensive to maintain after the 10 year markers with some OEM batteries costing 30%-50% of what the value of the car would be at that time (8-10 years). Basically look at cost of ownership as a whole if you keep your cars for more than a few years.

Don't buy cars with engines that use aluminum cylinders! The hardened surface wears away exposing soft aluminum, then the piston rings shave off fine strands of aluminum, eventually clogging oil passages.

Have you tried applying for a loan with Global Dominion?

Reliability and value retention make Toyota/Lexus #1. Currently have a Sportage that needed a new engine at 63,000 miles.

The second I saw Ford in the mix…I realized that this is not about long term reliability…aford long term reliability does not exist. American made garbage.

1. Kia Niro Hybrid - 53mpg - $26,940 2. Kia Sportage Hybrid - 43mpg - $28,590 3. Lexus UX 250H - 42mpg - $35,340 4. Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid - 42mpg - $28,220 5. Ford Escape Hybrid - 41mpg - $30,185 6. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid - 40mpg - $31,225 7. Honda CR-V Hybrid - 40mpg - $32,950 8. Lexus NX 350H - 39mpg - $42,655 9. Toyota Venza - 39mpg - $34,120 10. Kia Sorrento Hybrid - 37mpg - $36,990

So as we know, people choose hybrid vehicles over regular vehicles for 2 reasons: to be somewhat climate friendly, and to save $ on gas. So my question is, regarding saving money, do these luxury vehicle options (Lexus etc) use regular gas, which is obviously cheaper?

Where's kia sportage

The Korean clunkers do not belong near the reliable and low TCO Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura hybrids.

Nice car!

Why didn’t you include the Santa Fe Hybrid?!

Vous comparez la consommation du sportage à traction, en traction intégrale elle est moins économique et de beaucoup!

TOYOTA RAV4 Need to be at number 1 👌 other than that it's a great video thanks

Totally agree love my 2020 Outlander Sport Gt

Love the crv it's a beautiful suv I can't wait to drive it 🎉🎉🎉🎉

in my long life, are certain manufacturers which I would not touch, no matter the model. this is based on my experience and influence what I purchase, drive.

Sadly none of these are offered as RWD. I don't want front wheel drive at all, and I don't want the extra cost in maintenance for an all wheel drive, and also you can't get very "fun" in an all wheel drive car without at least 400-600+ horsepower and a great tune.

All these giant screens are so disgusting. Even the less large ones are still ugly when they're sticking out of the dash (especially up above the top) rather than recessed into the dash. The Dodge Durango has a great looking dash, while that Tiguan made me almost want to vomit, and the RAV4 is what most companies are doing and it looks like such an afterthought. 😑

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is very unreliable. Glad you have it on your list! Buyer be ware.

Everyone that I knew that owned a new Volkswagen always had electrical issues.

Frontier is wrong.

I PREFER LEXUS NX450H+

great video But the Rivian R1T Should be number 1, and get the Volvo out of the list or put it number 10 instead, thanks

I love my Mazda CX 5 2015 Grand touring .

fraud and reliability in the same sentence?!? If I wanted ford commercial, I'd watch it.

Mitsubishi is a great car brand. My sister got the Outlander 2023, and it has been amazing. I got last week my 2024 Outlander, which is luxurious, safe, and large.

Ford escape? I've owned that in a late model one and I can tell you that the moment you stated it's on your list I turned off your stupid program. It's a piece of crap on four wheels and it doesn't last

Why is Toyota Fortuner not in the list? Is it because there is none in the USA?

It is a very meaningful test to compare a ford kuga and a volvo xc 90. A completely different coffee house.

How about Mitsubitsi Outlander PHEV? it does not show as bad nor good. My experience is very good...

Subaru Crosstex is the best car I have ever owned. Compact suv best ever made bar none

Mazda doesn't use CVT transmissions!!

Tell us which cars have CVT transmissions! Which are crap and not proven.

What about Buick, Cadillac, ect?

RAV4 Compact SUV?????!!!!!!

When they start rating a Hyundai as #1, the whole video loses credibilty. I wasted my time watching this.

I begged the different , I’ve had Subaru forrester for 18 yrs , the second one being a 2020 , and those 18 years I’ve never had no electrical problems nor camera problems for that fact , so do some do diligence on your investigating , Go Bears

Crv or rav4 dont listen to this advertisement bs

Jeep pay you to add their vehicle on this list? Jeep is usually the #1 brand whenever cash for clunkers comes around. Other channels also warn about staying away from used jeeps. Unless u have the money to maintain it. Wranglers & up are the keepers in the Jeep brand though from what I took away from those other channels.

I love Tucson limited 2.5 2024❤❤❤😂

What about the Toyota 4Runner?? Old school maybe but definitely reliable

WTF?!

The RAV4 does NOT go 0-60 in under six seconds. In whose fantasy world? I have driven numerous 2019-2023 RAV4's and they accelerate decent, about average for their class, but that average in not under six seconds.

suvs under 40k: volvo starting at 42k!

😞 "Promo SM"

What happened to the Mazda CX 5, are we talking affordable because Lexus made the list. Honda #6…This video looks to be sponsored by Toyota.
