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.
