1. Toyota RAV4 Prime

• EV Range: 42 miles

• Total Power: 302 hp

• 0–60 mph: 5.7 seconds

• Why is it great: It’s the sleeper hit of the Plug-In Hybrids' world. Quick, efficient, practical, and still one of the best values on the market. Toyota reliability doesn’t hurt either.

2. Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid

• EV Range: 33 miles

• Power: 261 hp

• Why is it great: This is a compact SUV that looks good, drives smoothly, and doesn’t scream “eco nerd.” Plus, Hyundai’s tech and warranty are best-in-class.

3. Mazda CX-70 PHEV

• EV Range: ~26 miles

• Power: 323 hp / 369 lb-ft torque

• Why is it great: Mazda’s latest plug-in SUV brings upscale vibes, sharp handling, and a driver-focused. Based on the same rear-biased platform as the larger CX-90, the CX-70 skips the third row but gains cargo space. It’s a legit choice for people who want plug-in flexibility.

4. Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

• EV Range: 26 miles

• Power: 375 hp

• Towing Capacity: 6,000 lbs

• Why is it great: Off-road capable, luxurious inside, and surprisingly efficient for a Jeep. The “4xe” branding is Jeep’s growing PHEV sub-brand.

• EV Range:

• 330e: 22 miles

• 550e: 40+ miles

6. Volvo XC60 Recharge

• EV Range: 36–40 miles

• Power: 455 hp

• Why is it great: Swedish design meets serious power. It’s one of the few PHEVs that feels like a true luxury EV.

7. Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid

• EV Range: 37 miles

• Power: 210 hp

8. Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid

• EV Range: 32 miles

• Seating: 7–8

• Why is it great: The only minivan with a plug. Parents love this car. Indeed, it is roomy, super quiet in EV mode, and you can sneak in and out of the house like a ninja.

9. Range Rover Sport PHEV

• EV Range: 51 miles (est.)

• Power: 543 hp

• Why is it great: A luxury SUV that can run errands in silence, then blast through a highway with a twin-turbo inline-six. Expensive, yes. But serious tech.
