I just received my NX450H+ and I'm so happy to have it here in Saskatchewan. One of the best decisions. I drove it over 300kms for $0 of Gas
Thanks for mentioning the prices.
Great video! Curios why the Audi Q5 is not on the list? Also is the Mistusbishi considered luxury? Thanks in advance!
Got a Hyundai Tucson PHEV. So far I love it. It gets about 35 miles on a full charge and I am slowly learning how to extend that a bit. Also, if I am doing freeway driving, switching between electric and hybrid mode helps me get something in the range of 65-75 mpg and get about 40mpg even when the battery is depleted.
I am considering the Toyota RAV4 Prime. Great review!
There’s the RAV4 Prime and everything else.
Good information Shari, most recently helped a friend to buy a pre owned Toyota Yaris…absolute gem with amazing gas mileage and cost of buying and ownership. The gas mileage of Toyota Yaris is hybrid territory and definitely beats any EV.
The Yaris is a gem. I wish Toyota still sold it here.
What’s the reputation of the previous generation of the x5 PHEV (x45e)
Hello. My question is the Rav4 hybrid is reliable as the PHEV?
Hopefully there will be a Mazda CX-50 hybrid soon, built in Alabama next to the Toyota Corolla Cross hybrid and likely using the Toyota hybrid parts proven reliable.
Nice that you mentioned reliability of some of them. Most reviews just talk about a quick drive. Also, would be great, in my opinion, if gov't.s gave a rebate to hybrids and PHEVs instead of full electric. We could save a lot of gas, minerals, and pollution by using the smaller batteries and I think more people would buy them.
Thank you. Rebates are given to PHEVs in many areas, but not hybrids.
Very good top
I agree the RAV4 hybrids is the standout car. It’s to cars what the Beatles are to music. Yes Tesla are the Rolling Stones😊
my rav 4 phev just arrivewd in bulgaria... if we get a lease approval I will be a happy owner of an INCREDIBLY piece of motor history
Considering the Rav4 Prime but will check out the MItsubishi
I hope we will have PHEV 4Runner in future.
Thanks for suggesting a reliable charger installation and an electrician. It was very helpful ! Thanks as always for an excellent video.😊
RAV4 my first choice. Thank you!
#10 Red Ford Escape shown is a regular Hybrid St model. Not a Plug-in PHEV. ST models have wheel lip molding and bottom of the doors matching body colored. Where regular Escapes and Plug-in PHEV, have black plastic wheel lip and bottom of the door’s black plastic.
Can you use the RX 450h+ (plug-in) without plugging it in? If electricity gets too expensive (I live in CA, prices getting way high recently), can I use this plug-in RX like an RX 350h and never plug it in?
Yes you can. It will feel and operate just like the RX350h in hybrid mode but with a bit more power.
@@carhelpcorner Thank you for the reply. If I don't fully charge it by plugging it in, will this degrade the battery over time if I don't fully charge the battery, or will the gas engine keep it in good shape?
@@black_number_oneThe gas engine will keep it in good shape.
I’m picking up a RAV4 Prime in about two weeks. Waited four months in Florida. Finally gave up, buying in Maryland, and driving back to Florida.
Great choice congrats! Does it worth it to buy it new even with a little old model?
Spoiler alert -- RAV4Prime, #1! I'm getting 44.5 miles per charge, averaged over 6 months, including winter when it doesn't charge as much and there's heater drain. Great car.
What about the Chrysler Pacifica PHEV? Which vehicle qualify for the $7,500 rebate?
My single biggest complaint with Toyota is that their remote start is locked behind a subscription. I can understand their app connectivity being a subscription, but the button that comes on my key fob should require me to pay C$10 a month!
Wondering why the Volvo XC90 didn't even feature on this list .
I think kia Niro PHEV should be in this list . Best value 😊
I have a Peugeot 3008 PHEV, which is a very comfortable car to drive.
Long time Subscriber. Appreciate Canadian origin. But mostly appreciate that your comments are balanced and you do not refrain from criticizing a vehicle or pointing out some of its relative weak points. I follow a lot of car content and I find that many commentators range from pitch men and women to people who seem to be reluctant to discuss a vehicles less satisfactory or missing features.
Thank you! I'm not a fan of that pitch style. Some of them sound like video brochures to me with nothing bad to say.
There are also the channels that just crap on everything, and bo-bo about everything always is horrible.
However, they're not as bad as the channels that have lost touch with reality; worshipping only vehicles that cost more than a house, and a brand name that starts with "P", while bad mouthing everything else.
Dude. You dont need an “EV charger” for these cars. Jsut use the included plug and use a 110-120 out let. You’re talking about 10KWH batteries here. Sheesh.
I have ordered a 2023 Escape PHEV. It has a Toyota eCVT transmission paired with a Mazda L 2.5NA ICE. After government rebate, I paid 29k euros / 31.5k USD. It's hard to beat the price. They do not sell the Rav4 Prime in my area; I'm guessing it should be around 40+k euros after the rebate. It is more powerful, but I do not need that, nor do I need AWD. So, I decided not to pay more. Of course, it is a money-driven decision. If I were to have tons of money, the Lexus 550h would have my vote. A V6 makes for a nice engine. Unfortunately, it's way out of my league.
Thanks for sharing. The Escape PHEV is a great SUV 👍
Will you prefer Mitsubishi Outlander PHV or Mazda CX 90 if you have to buy a new car in next 3months?
I'm on same journey, Mazda CX90 is way beautiful and great cargo space....outlander is not bad for the price, so hard to decide....wanted toyota grand highlander but wait time is too much
Where is the Audi Q5 equattro phev???
I would buy rav4 prime.
I just realized that owning a plug in hybrid in the Bay Area is not worth it. It cost me $3.78 to fully charge my Ioniq plug in hybrid. It gets 25 miles on the freeway cruising at 70mph before depleting its entire charge. The place where I buy my gas cost $3.75 per gallon and I can drive 52 miles per gallon. Do the math. Gas is the cheaper way to go. I can almost go twice as far on the freeway using gas compared to the EV mode. PG&E is the Bay Area is a total ripoff. 42kwh off peak and 48kwh at peak. Now I know why I always here people complaining that their Teslas are costing them an arm and a leg in charging cost at home. I just realized this a week ago and now I don't use the EV part of my car anymore.
Your electricity is oddly expensive. That's way higher than the norm for charging at home.
I have a 2022 Ford Escape PHEV and fully recommend it. No issues at 20k miles. Save your money over the Toyota, I saved over $10k compared to a RAV4 prime!!
👎🏼 🤮
It is a choice between longevity! Like 150k mile vs 300k
Hmmm. Broken Ford vs. a Toyota that will run forever. I’ll take the Toyota.
This guy here getting all exited over 20k miles. Maybe if he had said 200k then it would have interesting.
What about the new VW Tiguan with 120km wltp electrical range?
Outlander
Kia Sportage X-line PHEV should be rated similar to the Rav 4 Prime. Consumer reports give the Prime an 89 rating and the Sportage an 87. They are ranked 1&2 for mainstream compact PHEV SUV’s.
I might consider BMW X5
You do not mention what is happening when you drive long distance in Hybrid mode and the batterry power is depleted. Many of those cars cars do not have Dynamo/generator?! From what I know I agree with you about the RAV 4 being an excellent choice and I thing they have a dynamo/generator that is constantly charging the electrical engine in the back. I do not know you did not mention the JEEP which is in my opinion a better choice although in the US you do not have the Compass that I driving, which has more power (240HP) and full offroad capability although you have in the US the Grand Cherokee with 376HP and same system
Good as usual, all these vehicle's are 20k over priced. The joke with bybrids is, what you save on gas you loose on servicing, so bup the most basic, proven engined vehicle you can and, enjoy far less 'issues'.
As long as you keep money out of the picture, the X5 is the perfect compromise. Large, great driving capabilities, luxurious, acceptable fuel milage and fast as a Porsche
I would buy alfa romeo tonale veloce🎉
Outlander all
Day
So 1,2 & 3 are the same phev system.
If l was looking for a SUV Hybrid of any kind, l'd prefer the utility of the conventional hybrid. With the daily commute to work a thing of the past at our age, the tethered Hybrid doesn't make sense to us. Regular long distance trips are the actual norm for us. The only Hybrid in the SUV family that l would consider trading our UX200 (non-hybrid) for, is the Lexus UX250h (untethered Hybrid). Efficiency and agile handling is what we honor in our remote mountainous location. Speed is of little consequence in an SUV, in IMHO.
61 km outlander? 85 km where did you get 61
RAV. 4
Surprised that Honda CR-V did not make the list.
very odd definitely.....
Can't believe the Honda CRV plug in hybrid was not in your top 10.
You gave it an excellent review not too long ago.
Just wondering why ?.
Honda CRV phev?
@@waldemargiers9641 Honda CRV Plug in Hybrid
CRV Phev???
No such car exist…
No such car! It would be nice………
Unfortunately it is not sold in North America
RAV4 Prime #1. Prius Prime # 1A(non suv).
Mazda CX-70. #2
Mazda surging lately ⬆️
You've forgotten the Mercedes GLC 400e. 130km pure electique.
2024 toyota harrier PHEV gives 91 km per charge
Rav 4 is the most over priced my number 1 is the outlanders 85km
The ford escape non plug in is a piece of crap, the hybrid won’t charge the 12v battery and I have to carry a portable charger and charge it in my driveway. The computer code needs to be fixed. It knows that the battery is failing but it just turns things off instead of charging the battery third battery in 11,000 miles. Maybe plug in better but no AWD made a mistake buying ford.
is ford paying you?
Did he use ford and reliable in one sentence? 😂
While I generally like your content, I often find top 10 lists less than useful. Specifically when the category listed only has about 10 total cars on the market. Plug in hybrid SUVs don;t make for a long list anyways, so a top 10 really doesn't identify the best as much as it just lists what is out there.
I see your point. Lately though there have been many new PHEV's that entered the market. Dodge, Jeep, Kia, Alfa, BMW, Mercedes etc.
@@carhelpcorner fair point. I didn't count and only assumed.
Kia and Hyundai have not been considered unreliable for over a decade now, so that should no longer be something that affects your rankings. I would look at the RAV4 Prime, but it is sooooo ugly that I am not sure I can go with that one, and personally have had issues with Toyota. I wish Honda made a PHEV and had better quality interior and that might be the way I would go as the CRV drives very well.
Is this guy AI?
No you can not luxus waiting time 1 year
toyotas for life!
mitsubishi is not
Is so a great PHEV but range with no hvac on, ev range is closer to 90kms
Ford Escape hybrid plugin is the worst car
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. For me, the Escape PHEV is the best car at $31K. It runs perfectly, is comfortable, and has high mileage. It needs to be charged daily, but I can live with that
100% biased . Toyota fan boy
It's all WAYYYYYY too expensive! 👎👎👎
Toyota sucks
Don't hyundai/,kia have 10 year warrantless?
Without seeing this video I can tell one number his spot is Toyota rav4 🤣
