What's the best hybrid ever? 🤔👇
i think Honda maybe
I like the Toyota Yaris and C-HR
Anything BMW related . Best build quality . Try closing the door on a Toyota Yaris then a BMW and see the difference . You can push the flimsy panels in on a Toyota.
Paint quality finish on a BMW is way out far superior.
Looked at a Yaris Cross and its like an empty box.
Lacking in extras , clearly Toyota with its Yaris Cross is trying to cash in on the SUV fad
A dead one!!
I had the Jazz/Fit E:Ehev 2020 (I live in Japan)…I was so stupid to sell it…for a Delica D5 petrol 2ws 2012 🤮 Wanted to go van camping around japan but things changed
Gonna get a Suzuka Alto 4x4. They get about 64mpg and are just petrol. Used ¥600,000..
Argh…Changed jobs ( working in the snow) hence why I need a smol 660cc shitbox lol
I bought a Renault Clio e-tech. 59 mpg. Boot on the small side. My main bugbear is the same as all hybrids, independently of its implementation, the flare-up of engine revolutions and noise at unpredictable moments.
I have a Kia Niro and it is an absolute dream. Very well spec'd, incredibly quiet and comfortable, and I average 57mpg. It is an ideal size and looks great as well
Same here - I own one for 3 years and the additional cost of hybrid powertrain and battery compared to a regular petrol car with same size and similar power has already payed off (43 000km). Super comfy, spacious, hassle-free and great economy - 54MPG total average, 46 highway @ 115km/h
The review was informative. It gave an overview rather a detailed review of each hybrid. That’s ok so, now it’s easy to go and view a more detailed review of the particular hybrid(s) you might be interested in.
A useful overall review. When it comes to the Toyota Corolla, it’s worth noting that they intend to do a mid-life upgrade into 2023. Plenty about that on Toyota’s own site.
Excellent Mr. Boss thank you, 1 thing: the Honda Insight was actually the first mass produced hybrid.
Just it would be good if you mentioned what you can buy and what delivery times you could expect when you order one of these... 12-18 months for most.
It's a shame most cars these days look very similar in appearance. Tin boxes with no character. Miss the days of variety in design. Too many SUV's!
You can't call C-hr without character.
If don't like suv there is Peugeot 308 hybrid with outstanding design.
C-hr is probably one of a select few. SUV's there are over 3000 Hyundai Tucsons for sale on Auto Trader!
Hyundais are pretty unique especially their EVs
Cause families
Is the market leading the consumer or vice versa? Looking at the fashion/clothing industry, it determine the style and even the colour for the next season. Unfortunately, a majority of consumers are more swayed by image and façade than economic and common sense. The evidence? Huge SUVs driven by a lone person... often with a personal number plate.... because they so deserve recognition. Silly people.
Just got a Toyota CHR and is superb with the 2.0 hybrid engine, currently averaging 60mpg also, a BIG plus is their 10 year ‘Relax’ warranty 👍
My wife has the 2.0l Orange Edition, this being her 2nd CHR. Brilliant hybrid.
👀
We don’t have that model in the usa !!
@@sandman5088 yes you do….
@@markmw123 no we don't have turbo nor hybrid chr
I have owned 2 prius cars. what I noticed with both is the sticker, meaning highway versus city is backwards. My first prius got amazing highway miles way over the label and I did not necessarily drive the posted miles. The other thing I noticed is the older versions got better gas mileage, overall than the newer ones
Nice summary review, short to the point.
I'm a practical guy and like everything I buy to do more than others. So in this case, I'd take the Honda Jazz or the Yaris. I like small cars too :P
Honda jazz,a real logic reliable mpv car.
you didn't mention H. Sonata hybrid... I currently driving gas engine 2021 one. I guess Sonata deserves mentioning in your list.
Thank you What Car team. Next time give the specs for night time driving also.
Toyota highlander deserves a shout. Unique for its class! Needs a full review
I am Behzad from Sweden I'm confused about which one it's better ! I wanna buying between Mazda Cx60 plugin or RAV4 plugin or Hyundai Tucson plugin ???? Which one is better?
Just picked up my Hyundai kona hybrid 60mpg loving the drive
Just ordered a Hyundai Bayon Premium 120ps DCT 48v mid hybrid because we have an 11 yr old i20 which is 100% reliable. Traded in at 4,500 quid.
Hybrid is not only about economy but also comfort, i mean no shifting no acceleration pulses . In this perspective toyota and honda hybrids excel. Just a remark, hybrid excel in city driving, extra urban driving will still better with diesel if you are after economy over comfort :)
I was wondering why you did not mention the Toyota Yaris Hybrid. After a month of ownership I average 70.2 mpg. Better than the Yaris Cross.
The Yaris is a self charging hybrid which means that the only way to get energy into the car is through the fuel tank. I do a regular journey from Dublin to Clifden a journey of just over 300km. I'm planning to take various self charging hybrids on my usual route at a similar speed to my Zoe 110k/pH. The only criteria will be the total cost. We will start with a full tank & top it up at the destination. I'm fed up with the claims of #hybridowners & #WLTP figures. Pure fiction IMO.
I have the Toyota CHR 2022 & I love the look, the drive & feel…..not to mention the 2 tone Color ❤️😻🌷✅
Awaiting delivery of a Honda HRV, originally quoted May, now told July delivery
What about Hyundai Ioniq? Very good on fuel reliable and good to drive.
Just bought a 2022 Lexus UX250h and absolutely love it! Then again, we’re retired and don’t need a lot of space. Also, the wait time to get one is now five months so perhaps others see the value more than what car!
I've had my UX since Oct last year. 40 mile commute every week day, getting 50-54 mpg on A,, B roads and dual carriageway. Comfy car. Quick enough off the line for me, even upset a few boy racers! As for boot size, my weekly shop of 4 carrier bags full and still room for 4 medium size bags of logs for the wood burner fit in with no probs.
I think What Car are being very harsh on their review of the UX. No, it isn't for all folk but neither are all the other hybrids they've reviewed in this video.
My local Lexus dealer offered me a new one in March (this year) for September delivery. I've said yes.
This was a car I considered. Made on the same platform as the CHR. Decided against it because of the poor write up it gets
What hybrid has a large boot, looking to change from a diesel estate
Thank you for your help, I am wondering which one shell I buy between number one or number 10...??
By BP instead of Shell
I have Honda jazz hybrid. My average mpg 67.5 which is amazing with 40 litters fuel tank gives me 600 miles absolutely great car .. I don't like the looks outside but inside really nice and spacious very comfortable
When it comes to the Ford Kuga PHEV it's designed that way because it's sold in the United States as a Ford Focus PHEV.
Our taxi firm uses 1.8lt corolla estate hybrids, all achieving 71mpg in town.
Far less to maintain too than diesels
I am a taxi driver and waiting for my Corolla to be delivered next month hopefully. Can't wait to switch from diesel to hybrid.
We have a Corolla GR 2.0 ltr great car averaging 50.5 mpg and not driven for mpg. Great car in the front. Poor boot space and rear leg room. Info is also poor for a new car. Lots of other kit to make up for this
I have a 250h and its fantastic.
Wish I never got my plug in hybrid. Lucky to get 20 miles out of it. (Manufacturers claimed 40 miles). My advice is either go full EV or a normal combustion engine. The vehicle itself (Pug 3008) is a seriously fantastic car, having said that.
*Big hefty Right Foot !*
I get 40-45 with no issues, either get the car or yourself looked at.
Plug-in hybrid to pay off should be charged every day and even twice a day, for example at home and at work.
Still a simple hybrid I think is a lot better than a petrol car because it doesn't run the engine when sitting or driving very slowly in traffic jams. And we may breathe easier in cities.
So happy with our Mondeo Estate Hybrid. The range is incredible on long motorway journeys, averaging around 55/60 mph in ECO mode. Even with a well loaded car. Calais to beyond Bordeaux from a full tank for a splash and dash to cheaper petrol at Irun. Love the low tailgate height which helps us load our dogs more easily.
Got the new HRV, amazing car,smooth and very good consumption!
What is mpg
2019 CRV with the generator?
Hi I am considering a Hybrid especially as I am now offered a very good price for my diesel car. The one that appeals the most is the Nissan E Power. The advantages are no plug in very economical with very good range. Only the electric motor drives the wheels with the petrol engine supplying the electricity. Is there any alternatives with the same principle?
Honda Jazz eHev! Works the same.
Just bought the Jazz and looking forward to recieving the best hybrid out there 👌👍
How do you find it so far ?
@@AhmedA-tz6qb i’ll g’et back to you when I get it 😞
Great car. Economic. Have not come beneath 20km/L even in minus degrees.
Why no mention of the Clio e tech hybrid? I've had one for 2 years and I'm very pleased. Ok, the seats could be more comfortable and they've slightly stiffened the suspension but all in all very good and 60 mpg +
For those wondering about Hybrids, from experience I could say it’s just an efficient ICE car. The hybrid system with a tiny battery will NOT give you much EV experience, you won’t even notice it before the tiny battery is discharged and it gets recharged quickly when you go down hill. So, don’t expect too much else I can guarantee you that you will be disappointed! Don’t believe me, go buy one to find out. ( latest Honda Jazz eHev)
Toyota CHR l already bought and it is great.
What about the hrv?
@What Car I had a Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid and I could go 2 miles on a motorway maybe a bit more on EV only and about a mile max in city under the right circumstances.
How come you did not talk about Toyota C-HR or Toyota Harrier?
Qashqai or is it not available?
Having tried both the Honda Jazz and Toyota Yaris I settled on the Yaris Design. It simply can't be beaten for frugality and reliability.
Over the past 12 months it has averaged 71mpg over 6000 miles against the claimed figure of 68.9. I even have the spreadsheet to prove it.
Lay off the party lifestyle dude! MPG spreadsheets is true rockstar living! Slow down!
@@jamesmorgan85 Nothing comes close in life to a well kept Excel spreadsheet.
@@hondamonkeyboy just don't overdose man
Hyundai Ioniq. Go for the top of the range spec. Summer regularly returns 99.9 mpg. They set out to beat the Prius at everything.. and a proper geared auto box, not CVT.
0:57 click the link at the top 😑 there's no link
All hybrids need to be driven in a slow careful manor using coasting and medium acceleration plus the pulse and glide method around down.
Drive a non hybrid like that and it too will get a lot better mileage.
I agree but you won’t get 80+ mpg round town in a normal car.
Nonsense! I drive the Honda eHev like my old CRV and the Jazz actually drives better too on Motorway or town. Just drive as you do, that what cars are for!
If you watch all reviews on hybrids they will tell you that careful driving helps its common sense don’t you think
@@damianroddis4301 It is common sense. I drive my regular vehicle the same way for better mpg and less wear.
What about the Hyundai Ioniq or Kona?
Since I took delivery of my Yaris Cross in December 2021 it has averaged 69,9 mpg used in towns and motorways -4500 miles driven so far ; and is much quicker with its turbo and feels safer than my previous Yaris Y 20 Hybrid ( new in September 2020 )
My VW ID3 was purchased new in September 2020 since then just think what I have saved in fuel costs over 30,000+ km mostly long journeys since then!
The Honda Jazz and the Toyota Corolla Cross would be my choice if they ever get sold in USA OR MEXICO.
@@JoseFernandez-wu8pj I believe the Corolla Cross has been launched in the USA -a good choice !
@@feldons5621 in the hybrid variant? Nice.
I am looking for economical hybrid or plug in hybrid car. How much kmpl can Toyota yaris cross run on an average ? :) OR do you have any economical plug in hybrid? How about MG EHS Plug in hybrid or kia Niro plug in?
Where is the promised link for EVs?
Bought a nearly new Honda CR-V AWD 2.0i MMD hybrid which has returned 33.4mpg average which is about that same as te first 2.0i VTEC CR-V I bought 20 years ago returning about 30+mpg! Plus ca change plus ca reste la meme! Terrible noise from the sincle gear eCVT system lots of engine noise but no corresponding road speed. And heavy - poor handling. My HR-V 1.6ivtec diesel returned 55mpg (car previous to this one). Wish I still had the diesel. Hybrid gets the big thumbs down from me. Maybe it's just the CR-V?
I think you should have bought rav4 hybrid instead
Based upon what I've seen in this video as I'm considering a hybrid as my next car, the only car family wise and practicality wise that will beat.y car for economy is the Toyota Corolla, all the rest with the exception of the small cars which are of new use to me whatsoever have higher fuel consumption than my diesel SUV so that'd be a definite no there.
Something to consider: at some point the government will start taxing plug-ins heavily to make up for lost road tax revenue.
My Ford Mavrick hybrid truck gets 46mpg.
All best Toyota Corolla Hybrid touring but whit 2.0 !!!!! Engine 😉 fast and goooood ❤❤
Considering the Sportage
My son bought the 2023 a month ago and loves it so far.
Lexus NX 350h F-Sport starts at nearly 52k, not 40k
What's wrong with running E10 car's....
where is the prius and the ionos?
I bought the new kia niro suprised its never in any of these line ups
Looking at those MPG figures, I'm sure most straight diesels would match them. I'm on my 5th BEV over the last 14 years, most of my journeys are long ones (seldom bring charging cables with me) & I have never suffered from range anxiety. IMO hybrids are a complete con!
Maybe, but diesel engines have a Lower life span if driven bumper to bumper or in trafgic instead of highway mostly.
The hybrid enhine can last 300-500K KM's easily
What BEV do you have?
We have an ID. 3+ 1st & a Renault Zoe 135GT. We are about to take delivery of a Skoda IV 80 AWD which is supposed to be with us by mid September. As a farming family we need to be able to tow trailers.
My wifes audi a3 8v limo 2.0 tdi takes less then 5 liter per 100 on a distance of 50km per day in slow traffic
@@LewackiOnanista what on Earth has that to do with the price of turnips?
A few hundred yards range? Do your homework! And no mention of Skoda Octavian, Kia Niro, Hyundai Ionix...
Octavia, not Octavian
I am buying the RAV4 hybrid. Top car!
Where is the Seat Leon Phev?
You said that hybrid can only work on full electric for a few hundred yards. Wrong if you keep under 30-35mph in city driving it will continue in fully electric mode and regenerate through breaking and bill decent. This is why the city fuel figure is so good at well over a hundred miles per gallon. Ideal for the commute to work or school runs rarely have to worry about refuelling but has the luxury of being very frugal on a good run on motorway and A roads. Just thought you should know and check this out before giving wrong information about all pure Hybrid vehicles especially the Toyota specialised in this way before everyone else and their dogs joined in.
Only the Yaris cross beat the 56mpg of my ICE, and it costs £8k more brand new. I really thought hybrids would be worthwhile by now.
I'm staggered that there's no mention of the very reasonably priced Renault Clio e‐tech self‐charging hybrid... Without exception other reviewers praise it highly in every respect (particularly its premium‐feel cabin) but you don't feature it at all! As for the horrible‐looking Honda Jazz being 'the very best' I wouldn't have one even it wasn't, as it is, overpriced.
Renault didn't pay enough to be featured
@@evilmario6061 😂
Do plug-in hybrids charge as you drive like normal hybrids?
3008 hybrid 4
That Honda Jazz is more like a mobility scooter or a Stannah stairlift
I've just ordered a Toyota yaris cross hybrid because of its true amazing fuel efficiency and because its larger than a yaris alone. Getting rid of my Range rover evoque by far the worst car i have ever owned for reliabilty.
For me the choice is not confusing- Tesla or ANY Chinese EV that could come to these shores. Any of them are BETTER than ANY ICE, DIESEL or HYBRID vehicles mentioned here. And I am just waiting for my new Tesla S to arrive!!!!!!
So take-away, stick to ICE or at most very mild hybrid for best VFM.
Can anybody weigh in on the Kia Niro?
We have a 2018 KIA Niro. We have 80,000+ miles with an average of 46 mpg. About 75% of the driving was highway driving (60-75 mph). Very happy with it. No mechanical issues.
@@normanschrock2534 Thanks much.
mpg UK or mpg US?
It should read kWh/100 or per mile, km.
There are no gallons of electricity.
@@RedBatteryHead hybrids use gallons of fuel, Plug in hybrids use lesser gallons of fuel, EV uses KWs of energy, unlike the hybrid brothers.
@@jollyjohn6403 correct.
The EV mode consumption would be good to state Though. Cause it terrible...
UK mpg.... Its a British CZcams channel
Interesting.... Last attempt in fossil fuel cars. 60mpg is impressive but I am personally holding onto my old worthless car until the point where I buy a full EV. Hybrids to me are not the future.
mpg, what an obsole units, geez, aint nobody in "developed" world use metric anymore?!
This wasn't about cars, it was all SUVs
Kia Niro not mentioned here. Outdated review
I HAVE HUNYDIA ELANTRA HYBRID
BYD’s DMI system is the best hybrid system in the world, much more advanced than Toyota
Very disappointing review. I have been researching hybrids for some month now. Suzuki consistently is rated at the top of the charts on many models. A CZcams tester know as ecodriver, He is a professional driver his results show Suzuki swift is the number one high millage car on his comprehensive list. Toyota is #2. Next check out the Suzuki Ignes hybrid with 4 wheel drive. Beats all peers off road and excellent fuel economy. Check out Vatara hybrid, and Grand Vatara. Saw a video done in India testing how far a mild hybrid and strong Vitara hybrid could go on one tank of gas. The mild Vitara went 600KM and the strong hybrid went 1000 KM stopped to rest and still had several 100 miles of range. While driving a normal highway speeds both model exibited fuel economy difference of about 1km. In city driving and dense start and stop traffic on highway the strong hybrid delivered 25.4K/L and the mild hybrid delivered 13.7K/L. Most testers do not test the city driving results for these car and falsely report that there is no difference in their fuel efficiency. The strong and mild hybrid mileage outcomes on other Suzuki models should show a similar fuel efficiency results. If one does a lot of city driving the extra cost of the strong hybrid may be worth it. Keep in mind 4 wheel drive is available on many Suzuki hybrid models. What car usually does great tests on the Suzuki and it baffles me that none made this review.
I personally think that all hybrids are extremely complex, requiring expensive maintenance.If you ask their owners they will tell you that most of the time they drive around with the electric part non functioning for a dead battery, which most of the drivers either lack the time, or just don't bother to stop every 30 or 40 miles to charge them . So most of the time they just drive around with only their engine power, defeating entirely the purpose for buying the Hybrid. Ten times better buying a full electric, a lot more convenient, far more reliable a lot cheaper to maintain and much safer, especially if you buy the most efficient Tesla.
You're talking about plug-in hybrids here. They're good for commutin, not much else, it's true. You don't have this problem with the self charging ones. The economy is excellent too. A Toyota can easily do 80-90 MPG. Mt best average was 120MPG.
Last ditch attempts to keep burning stuff. Plug in or not the betamax of the future...
that's four cars from Toyota as Lexus is a luxury brand owned by Toyota.
So many SUVs.
Where is the Toyota chr? 😄
Prius is the best
Rav4, one of the best if not the best selling suv in the world does not make your list. Toyota has the best and most reliable hybrid tech. The Rav4 Hybrid is selling like hotcakes with a minimum 1 year waiting list in my country.
I got a Mercedes A250e 1st March and have driven 1400 miles. Averaging over 100 mpg as am able to top up battery daily
Check your Electric bill when it arrives, and factor that in - no such thing as Free Ride !*⚡
@@GrrMeister I charge at work, think before you comment
@@TheHutchRuns Yep I'm Physic !
@@TheHutchRuns touchy are we! stick to Japanese, they're the very best
Friends of mine have one. Big red alert on the dashboard and it went back to the dealer. Just saying that I know a lot of people who have had serious problems with Mercedes, but they keep buying new ones for some odd reason.
bruh why all SUVs
Metals shortages have raised the price of all electrics, and the cord is a hassle, especially if there is a line to wait for at a public charger. In a third world area still burning coal to make electricity, they are not really clean. The batteries are very heavy, causing more tire and brake pad wear which add particles to the air.
Kia Niro and Toyota Prius isn’t in your list.
where is RAV 4
Really!!!?????
Is WhatCar actually saying that self-charging hybrids will only go “ A few hundred yards at very low speeds “ on electric power only. Come on Doug, did someone write this & you simply read it out without proofreading?
I came for cars and mostly saw SUVs, What's with the attraction of Americans to SUVs?!
Everyone knows the Liger is the best hybrid
TOYOTA AND LEXUS ARE THE BEST A MAN CAN GET..
Pun intended?! 😂
Funny. Since there are no great PHEV 😂
This message was brought to you by the Japanese and Korean governments. Best hybrids, and not a single European car? Yeah, right!
Screw cars, you lose it in a car
