Hybrid vehicles have surged in popularity the last two decades. Petrol-electric vehicles are increasingly viewed as a bridge to full EV ownership, but which models best suit the average driver?. Hybrids offer the convenience of traditional petrol cars combined with the low running costs of EVs.
Over the past two decades, they've surged in popularity, with numerous manufacturers embracing the technology. As the automotive world electrifies, hybrids serve as a crucial stepping stone. While plug-in hybrids provide a reasonable electric range, standard "self-charging" hybrids offer impressive efficiency without needing to be plugged in.
So, which ones fit the bill for most drivers? We’ve compiled a list of the best hybrid cars on sale in the UK today. The Toyota Yaris was one of the first superminis to be offered with a petrol-electric powertrain. Now in its fourth generation, the Yaris is good to drive and features a stylish exterior design with a decent amount of standard equipment. It’s also very efficient with the car returning a claimed 68.9mpg and low CO2 emissions of between 92 and 98g/km depending on the version.
Meanwhile, the Yaris comes as standard with the firm’s 10-year or 100,000-mile warranty when serviced through a Toyota main dealer. Honda’s Civic is one of the best all-round family hatchbacks and it’s easy to see why. It offers a vast amount of interior space while providing a sporty driving experience and very low running costs.
Under the bonnet, there is a 2.0-litre petrol engine mated to an electric motor producing 181bhp. Honda also claims that the Civic can return a combined fuel figure of 56.5mpg – making this B-segment hatchback one of the best-in-class for efficiency.
