Hybrid cars have come a long way since the launch of the iconic Toyota Prius back in 2000. With electric vehicles sales exploding in 2021, drivers are realising the many benefits electrification offers. As a result, the hybrid car is now a common feature on UK roads; accounting for thousands of new car sales and leases every year.
Drivers have several choices: Mild-Hybrids (MHEV) that give drivers a little bump in fuel economy, Self-Charging Hybrids that do short ranges on battery alone and recharge as you drive, and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), which we’re focussing on here, that can be charged for up to 40 miles pure-electric driving range. That’ll cover most daily commutes without using a drop of fuel.
If you’re not quite ready to make the leap into a fully electric car lease deal, then a combination of traditional combustion engine along with electric power might just be your perfect match. Not only will you benefit from lower fuel costs, but you’ll have the added bonus of driving away in one of the best low emission cars that are available now.
So if the above has piqued your curiosity, then here’s our top hybrid picks of 2022 so far:
The RAV4 has been super-popular in self-charging form, but the new Plug-in Hybrid takes things to a whole new level. With a huge amount of boot space, spacious cabin and all-wheel drive (AWD), it’ll take everything you need, anywhere you need to go and it’ll be a luxurious experience getting there.

The Golf just keeps getting better and better. Now in its eighth, and best generation, the Golf GTE offers an appealing combination of eco-driving and hot-hatch performance with a rather racy 0-62 mph in around 6 seconds. This 5-door hatch is the ultimate in compact practicality

The Disco Sport is a compelling mid-sized SUV. It combines upmarket appeal with luxurious driveability and unrivalled off-road capability. The cabin is supremely well-appointed with a great infotainment system, and it offers lots of space. You definitely get what you pay for.

We’re big fans of the Mercedes A Class range and so are our customers. So, when the A-Class was combined with a hybrid engine this only strengthened its appeal. The saloon version adds a dash of extra prestige and practicality. It’s a great looking car with plenty of technology to keep things interesting.

SEAT’s performance brand has been spun-off to great effect. The Formentor is a lively take on the mid-sized performance SUV concept. It brings some much-needed excitement to its segment – no easy task in a market already awash with crossover clones.
