The pool of new hybrid vehicles from which a new car buyer can buy from has grown considerably over the last couple of years. The mainstay of hybrid manufacturers (e.g., Honda and Toyota) that have been in the hybrid game for over two decades are still providing us with some great vehicles; however, we have plenty of new hybrid options to choose from now.
Hybrids vehicles are vehicles that are powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE) but also have one or more electric motors to enhance a vehicle’s fuel economy, lower its overall emissions (gCO2/km), and add to the car’s performance. Hybrids also have a battery pack to source electricity for powering the electric motors. The battery is usually charged through regenerative braking and by the internal combustion engine, though some cars, like the Mitsubishi Outlander, are plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), meaning that their battery packs can also be charged up when not being driven, like a full electric vehicle (EV).
At the moment, hybrid vehicles are fantastic and make a lot of sense. For much of the time, they happily pootle about town on electricity alone (no emissions and no fuel usage). Then, when longer journeys are necessary (out of town) or if you need to tow something, a hybrid vehicle can make use of its ICE power and the country’s fuel network for taking you places far beyond the infrastructure for battery recharge.
So, what new hybrid vehicles can we buy in 2024? I’ve endeavoured to break down the new hybrid vehicles according to their price bracket. There are actually over 70 new hybrid vehicles available today. See our review pages for more details on most of these, and we’re adding to our list of reviews all the time.
