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

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.

Thanks for mentioning the prices.

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😊

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.

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

Great video! Curios why the Audi Q5 is not on the list? Also is the Mistusbishi considered luxury? Thanks in advance!

I am considering the Toyota RAV4 Prime. Great review!

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.

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?

Thanks for suggesting a reliable charger installation and an electrician. It was very helpful ! Thanks as always for an excellent video.😊

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.

There’s the RAV4 Prime and everything else.

I hope we will have PHEV 4Runner in future.

Hello. My question is the Rav4 hybrid is reliable as the PHEV?

What’s the reputation of the previous generation of the x5 PHEV (x45e)

Considering the Rav4 Prime but will check out the MItsubishi

#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.

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!

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.

Very good top

RAV4 my first choice. Thank you!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Good Luck buying a RAV4 Prime 😂

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.

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 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.

Where is the Audi Q5 equattro phev???

I would buy rav4 prime.

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

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'.

I might consider BMW X5

So 1,2 & 3 are the same phev system.

Outlander

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

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 ?.

Outlander all Day

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.

Surprised that Honda CR-V did not make the list.

RAV. 4

Rav 4 is the most over priced my number 1 is the outlanders 85km

2024 toyota harrier PHEV gives 91 km per charge

Where is the Mercedes? The best PHEV currently is Mercedes C300e! The pure electric range is 100-110km. It has an AC charging capacity of 11kWh from a 3-phase source, and is also capable of DC charging up to 55kWh.

Did he use ford and reliable in one sentence? 😂

You've forgotten the Mercedes GLC 400e. 130km pure electique.

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.

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.

Kia and Hyundai have not been considered unreliable for over a decade now, so that should no longer be something that affects your rankings.
