What are the top 10 best hybrid SUVs on the market today? With compact, family and luxury models all making the cut, we pick the winners
Not only is the Hyundai Santa Fe an Autocar award winner, it’s available with one of the widest array of powertrains, including pure ICE, hybrid and plug-in options. Of the three, it’s the latter that best suits the character of a car that’s as likely to be attacking the school run as it mooching along motorways.
With a combined output of 261bhp there’s just enough energy for brisk acceleration, while the accurate and assured handling is matched to a decent dose of comfort - few cars are as relaxing to drive. If there’s an issue then it’s the fact the Korean machine is limited to an EV range of just 31 miles, meaning it falls into a higher 12% BiK banding.
More importantly, you’ll still be saving over an equivalent petrol or diesel, while the Santa Fe’s smart and spacious interior is proof positive that the brand’s premium aspirations aren’t misplaced. It’s also extremely well-equipped for the cash and has all the space a growing family could need, even if the third row seats are best reserved for kids. Other highlights include the excellent build quality and the lure, for private buyers at least, of a lengthy five-year warranty.
In terms of cosseting luxury there’s not a car on this list that can match the Range Rover, its spacious and opulent interior dripping in rich materials and the sort of slick tech that adds plenty of showroom appeal. On the move it’s nearly as quiet and comfy as its big brother, but the addition of four-wheel steering and active anti-roll adds an extra dimension of agility and driver engagement. It’s not cheap, but the best things in life rarely are.
