Top 7 Cheapest Plug In Hybrids 2024

2024 Toyota Prius Prime.
In the deficit column, the Prius Prime has tight rear seats and less maximum cargo capacity than other models in this class. But it wins the award for Most Improved and is hard to top if you want a stylish, quick, and efficient plug-in hybrid car.
2024 Toyota Prius Prime.
Able to travel more than 80 miles on electricity alone with a fully charged battery, the Prius Prime is a leader among PHEVs. It can travel farther on electric power than rivals such as the Kia Niro PHEV and Mini Countryman Cooper SE PHEV. And the fuel economy is stellar.
2024 Kia Niro.
The five-seat Niro is Kia's smallest electrified SUV, slotting below the Sportage. It comes standard with a fuel-sipping hybrid powertrain, which won't win any drag races but delivers as much as 53 mpg in mixed driving, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
2024 Hyundai Tucson.
The 2024 Hyundai Tucson stands out in a sea of compact SUVs by offering a wide range of trims and solid performance at competitive prices. It has two rows with seating for five people and a choice of nine trims with gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid drivetrain options.
2024 Kia Sportage.
It's been almost 30 years since Kia introduced the Sportage to the American market, making it the longest-lasting nameplate for the Korean brand. Fast forward to 2023, when Kia introduced the fifth generation of this small crossover SUV.
2024 Mitsubishi Outlander.
Among the few compact three-row SUVs, the 2024 Outlander is a worthy choice against the Kia Sorento and Volkswagen Tiguan. The Outlander PHEV competes with the plug-in versions of the Sorento, Hyundai Tucson, and Toyota RAV4 Prime, even though the Tucson and RAV4 aren't available with a third row. Mitsubishi has had a tough run over the past decade, with dwindling budgets, a very limited lineup, and a tiny dealer network. After the introduction of an Outlander compact SUV in 2022, things are looking much more optimistic. Based on the Nissan Rogue, Mitsubishi has a strong platform to build upon, and in some ways the current Outlander surpasses the Rogue.The Outlander SUV is available as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), which already makes it a relative rarity in the market. Add in a third row of seats, a large cargo area, and sporty handling and the Outlander becomes a good value. Drawbacks to consider include a very small third-row seat. The Outlander PHEV is quite a bit more expensive than the rather sluggish standard gasoline model, and once the plug-in's battery is depleted, its fuel economy isn't any better than that non-hybrid model.
2024 Ford Escape.
The 2024 Ford Escape displays the winning traits that have garnered compact SUVs their popularity. Its small size makes it easy to maneuver, while all three available engines provide great fuel efficiency. The Escape has a spacious cabin and tall ride height for excellent outward visibility, and standard safety technology helps the driver avoid accidents. It's not as fun to drive as some other small SUVs, but the Escape's well-rounded nature makes it a strong choice. The 2024 Ford Escape is easy to live with, delivering vast interior space for active families. Other compact crossovers are more engaging to drive, but the Escape is a great pick for those seeking car-like fuel efficiency in a roomy, comfortable SUV.
2024 Dodge Hornet.
The 2024 Dodge Hornet delivers excitement in a vehicle segment filled with mundane grocery-getters. Compact SUVs are extremely popular, but you can count the number of fun-to-drive models on your thumbs. The Dodge Hornet changes that. Based on the Alfa Romeo Tonale, the Hornet brings an upscale European sensibility while also delivering a taste of Dodge attitude. The Hornet is the brand's first all-new vehicle in more than a decade. It moves the performance-oriented brand in a more sophisticated direction, evidenced by the fact the range-topping Dodge Hornet R/T is the first electrified Dodge in the brand's storied history. Not only is the 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T the flagship of the model line, but it is also the more potent of the two Hornet variants. Its plug-in hybrid powertrain delivers 288 horsepower, and it offers its drivers a special electric PowerShot infusion of acceleration on demand. The Dodge Hornet GT is less frenetic, but it still offers 268 hp from its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. That's the most standard horsepower of any mass-market brand compact crossover. With extensive lists of available tech and one of the best infotainment systems in the industry, the two Hornets give buyers a pair of appealing compact SUV choices. In overall length, the Hornet is about 3 inches shorter than the sales-leading Toyota RAV4. It's about 2 inches shorter than the Mazda CX-5, a vehicle widely regarded as the most fun to drive in the class. Other competitors, such as the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, and Ford Escape, are more mainstream and have few sporting pretensions.
