Top 10 BEST Plug In Hybrid SUVs of 2023 || Best Value And Most Reliable

PHEVs are a terrible idea. The inconvenience of finding a free charger and then having to move it after it is done charging at home and at work seems like the stupidest idea I have ever heard of. They should be giving tax breaks on regular hybrids. Cali infrastructure cant even handle powering the current infrastructure without black outs and fires every year. So clogging the chargers for 35 miles when fully electric cards need the chargers makes no sense.

I am thinking between RAV4 SE plug in hybrid and xse hybrid is that the same as rav4 prime?

Why no Merc GLA 250e.

Outlander🎉🎉🎉🎉

Nothing here comes close to being practical for rural use. I need an SUV with 4wheel drive that has an electric range of around 200km (trip to town and back) then a gas engine for longer trips. Ideally this would be like the old BMW that had a 2 stroke charger in the back as a 'range extender' 50hp would be plenty as the gas engine is only a charger with the electric side providing the performance.

Does anyone know why there is no plug-in hybrid forerunner? I would buy that yesterday if it was available.

I have the BMW 45E as well, it’s amazing! The new 50E appears to be even better. Different price point I know, but put up against these cars it would be far superior so definitely belongs in the line up. I bought mine used for about what the top of the line Lexus Hybred costs.

Mercedes GLC 300e,BMW X1 30e, Landrover

Got a Sportage SX PHEV white color JuLy 5th in Quebec.

Just WoW wow wow

We love it

Great video

Where's the Hyundai Santa Fe?? Or the Tucson? Afraid to shame the others on this list??

I need some suggestions to buy or choose hybrid SUV - which one is better? Honda CRV or KIA Sportage or Hyundai Tucson or any other suggestions please? I am looking for reliability and less maintenance

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING CAD PRICE!

I just purchased the Plug in Kia, Niro, because I was absolutely Spoiled by my Mercedes-Benz ML 250 Diesel. 30 MPG was great, and diesel engines last for over a million miles.
I first thought about the KIA Sportage, but the price was way too much for what you get. I jumped on the Kia Niro Plug-In. WOW no gas yet because 90 percent of my driving is grocery getting and once in a blue moon, a long trip (over 800 Miles) I carry both 120 volt charger that takes 2 days to charge adn the 240 volt charger, that charges in just a few hours!. The Niro Plug-In has tons of features, outstanding warranty, and an ICE COLD Air conditioning that makes a man realize he has nipples too!
I am VERY impressed with the Niro and will connect to your Android phone with Spotify, plus Google maps that are ALWAYS updated, (Not on the standard car maps that were usually installed last year)
Thank you for your GREAT information! I am an absolute penny pincher, and am even trying to figure out how to double or triple the size of my lithium battery to go even further for free. Now to figure out a solar system to charge the KIA from the sun. :)

Bought a ford escape PHEV, Titanium. Very happy with it. 80% of electric power on 7Km so far. Urban travel mostly. took 7 month from ordrering to delevery

I reckon the Kia Sorento is the best in overall value given the very high tech you get & the comfort + the 7 year warranty

Imo more info such as the height for driver view also wading depth, ppl like me simply prefer higher view point as nowadays with too much tall transport on the road as well as annoying led light. Wading depth info help determine safety since floods is getting more & more common lol.

Not sure whether the 2023 Rav4 Prime is different tech, but mine arrived in mid-April, so one month of use in the moderate temperatures in southern England (5-15 degrees C typically during the day). Takes 5 hours to fully charge, although we have 240V in the UK so that may make a difference. My range has never been lower than 45 miles and on local in-town round-trip commuting, it'll do closer to 55-60 miles on a full battery. In fact, the "expected" range started at 42 miles when I first got the vehicle, and on full charge it now shows 51.

Our fuel filling stations have minimum 5 litre rules, and I was shocked the first week to only need 3.9 litres before the fuel pump tripped out. I managed to nurse it up to 5l exactly, but clearly don't need to fill up every week. I have done a couple of longer runs, but my total fuel bill a month would have been (at current prices) £180 in my old Renault Scenic, £135 in my Rav4 Hybrid, but so far I have spent £59 on electricity and £32 on fuel, covering 786 miles. Pretty nice.

I dont know if BYD brand is available in your market but its' Song Plus DM-I is an impressive PHEV.

Ford does NOT use Toyota's hybrid drive train. Yes, Ford and Toyota designs are similar, and they cross-licensed their designs to avoid any patent infringement litigation. Ford's planetary gear transaxle was developed in house. Please stop perpetuating this fallacy.

Where’s the Hyundai Tucson? The Outlander has been discontinued in the U.K. Low demand.

Superb well organized review. I'm going with the NX 450h+.😊

How about the upcoming mazda cx 90 phev?

Lincoln. AVIATOR Plug IN

The RAV4 prime is essentially unattainable. Minimum weight of 12 months to two years. Most people can’t wait that long when shopping for a new car.

The Rav4 Prime has a shitty all wheel drive system. The rear motor gives up easily when going up a gravel hill from a stop.

I wouldn't recommend taking it camping at all unless you are one that just goes to an RV park, then you'll be okay. The only thing that it has going for it is the EV range, and that's about it. It's sad because Toyota put their name, and badge on it.

I didn't feel confident at all going off the highway with it. Just knowing that the back motor will give up so easily is a massive disappointment.

Front wheels spin with traction control using ABS to try biting into something with zero help from the rear is embarrassing at the least. Turning off the traction control does shit! Massive wheel spin from the front, and still no help at rear as you slide back. With 50ish% charge in the battery you would think it would have done something, but nope. Had to back down the hill, and get a lil run at it.

Before you think I was out Bajaing, or 4x4ing this so called SUV I wasn't. Same camp ground I went in before with a front wheel drive Town and Country.

This has to be the worst all wheel drive system Toyota has put out to date. According to the dealership this is how they're built, and nothing wrong with it.

All you're paying for is a name, and EV range. Stay away from this vehicle if you like to go camping, and I don't mean the weekend warrior RV park bullshit either. You'll be thanking me in the end.

I bought a BMW x5 45e. It handles beautifully, can tow around 7000 lbs, has self driving mode, is AWD, it is the height of luxury with well thought out technology, and is an easy to use, plug in hybrid. Battery only mode is 30-37 miles.

I would buy Evoque hybrid instead

The entire underside of the 2023 is now shielded with removable panels to keep most contamination away. The 2023 electrical cable shroud has also been modified to allow any possible contaminants to freely drain off. Toyotas constant improvement company are why they are so trusted. They’re not perfect but they seem to always want to improve.

Rave4 Prime is my choice. Nex is Prius Prime.

Number 4 is the best .
The new outlander is king of the road!

Rav 4 was a new model in 2019 and it’s still the best.

I currently have the Prius V four 2017 but considering the Kia Sportage PHEV for the price

I love you My RAV4 PHEV prime dynamic premium 🚙🔌⚡️

It looks like Outlander is the best choose, it is more EV car than a hybrid, with no gearbox, no PTU, no rear axle, a good EV range, 7 seats, good acceleration, nice design, rich options, good price and Japan quality.

Why don’t you talk about the heat pumps ? That’s the critical differentiator especially for people living in cold weather. You should provide some technical info.

Are resistance band weights accurate?

I agree with your assessment aside from the premium cars. The prices change dramatically with them

It's the same seat as a Volkswagen van and why are the motor so huge and the mileage so poor. I mean 40 to 60 miles per gallon

Would consider all but Hyundai or Kia brands, awful track records for reliability and quality. Avoid them at all costs.

My question is I am looking to buy a 2024 PHEV, the models are Lincoln Corsair and the Volvo XC 60 which one is the better buy

Any comment on X3, X5 PHEV ?

It is too bad that the new Honda CR-V does not came as a plug-in hybrid. It is well built, bigger inside and I believe much quieter on the highway than the very, very good Toyota RAVA4 Prime.

Tucson 2023 hybrid?

I am waiting for Venza phev. More luxury but it is not as expensive as Lexus

As of now, my personal favorite PHEV is MY23 Outlander hands down. One of the most important factors missing in your review is the DC charging capability, that's a deal breaker for me personally. On a side note, the Lexus picks look soo ugly in their design(lost of interest immediately), and Toyota is kinda hyped up imo.

I do not understand why the top companies like Toyota do not produce more PHEV if they are selling so well. Kick up the production!

There’s A Ford Explorer Plug In Hybrid In Europe

GOOD GOD THAT MITSUBISHI IS ASS UGLY
