Yahoo Autos The Best Luxury Hybrid SUVs for 2024 and 2025
Hybrids may be taking a back seat to electric vehicles in the headlines these days, but that doesn't mean they've waned in popularity. Gas-electric hybrids are still found in many different segments of the market, and that includes luxury SUVs. Here are the best hybrid luxury SUV offerings on sale today, presented in order from least to most expensive.
2025 Lexus UX300h
Base Price: $37,490
Lexus produces more hybrid SUVs than any other luxury manufacturer, offering several distinct choices. The smallest is the UX, which is a subcompact available only as a hybrid. It's the only hybrid model available in this size class, meaning it's the most affordable car on this list by a wide margin. Calling it an SUV may be optimistic, though, as it looks and feels more like a premium hatchback.
2024 Lexus NX350h and NX450h+
Base Price: $44,615 (hybrid) / $59,905 (plug-in hybrid)
The NX is next in the Lexus lineup, a compact crossover available as both a traditional hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. The hybrid is called the NX350h and the plug-in is called the NX450h+. Both boast high-quality components built over the underpinnings of the humble Toyota RAV4, and both offer signature Lexus refinement at an intriguing price point.
The nonhybrid NX has its appeal, too
2024 Lexus RX350h, RX500h, and RX450h+
Base Price: $52,100 (hybrid) / $70,580 (plug-in hybrid)
Like its compact NX sibling, the mid-size Lexus RX, a signature product for the brand that sells in big numbers, now offers three hybrid options. The RX350h is a traditional hybrid that promises up to 36 mpg combined according to the EPA, while the performance-oriented RX500h promises quicker acceleration thanks to 366 horsepower. There's also the plug-in-hybrid RX450h+ that shares its powertrain with the NX450h+ and has some electric-only range if you charge up the battery.
The new RX is a lot like the old one, which is good
2024 Volvo XC60 Recharge
Base Price: $59,195
Volvo's XC60 is a stylish compact luxury SUV, and its plug-in-hybrid powertrain option packs a bigger punch than you might expect. With 455 horsepower, it's quick for its class, but we found the powertrain to be rougher than we'd want for a luxury vehicle. Still, it offers good electric range and a nice interior.
2024 Lexus TX500h F Sport Performance and TX550h+
Base Price: $69,350 (hybrid) / $78,050 (plug-in hybrid)
You may not recognize the TX name, and that's because this three-row SUV is a new addition to the Lexus lineup. It fits in between the two-row RX and the more off-road-focused GX, and it offers two hybrid powertrains. The TX500h F Sport Performance (pictured) is meant to be the sportier of the two, and it has 366 horsepower and F Sport tweaks for the suspension and visual changes to the exterior and interior. There's also a plug-in-hybrid version called the TX550h+, and it uses a V-6 gasoline engine and offers a bit of electric range.
