Hybrids

For decades the BMW 3 Series has been the standard of the compact luxury sedan world. With the latest model, this still appears to the case. The performance, comfort, luxury, and enjoyment is unmatched by most competitors. 

Dodge is reentering the compact SUV market with the all-new Hornet. Using a historic nameplate from its past, the Hornet is a sportier SUV that trades in a bit practicality for personality. It can come with a choice of drivetrains, making either 268 hp or 288 hp.

The mid-size Land Rover Discovery is a bit different than most luxury SUVs. The regal utility vehicle is wholly capable off-road, while still treating passengers in utmost comfort. Currently, a choice of two turbocharged engines are available, a four-cylinder and a six-cylinder hybrid. 

The flagship Range Rover is one of the most luxurious SUVs on sale. It treats passengers to the finest materials and technology inside, all while offering a smooth ride and fantastic isolation. A choice of engines are available, including a plug-in hybrid. For added choice, it can be had in two wheelbase lengths. 

The Range Rover Evoque is the entry level model in Land Rover’s upscale sub-brand. The compact SUV is more about luxury and style rather than off-road prowess. It competes against the likes of the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Lexus NX.

Choice is the name of the game as there’s a Lexus NX for nearly everyone. Folks looking for a gasoline propelled unit have their choice between naturally aspirated and turbocharged four-cylinders. If a hybrid is required, there are two of those as well. One a traditional hybrid and the other of the plug-in variety.

The Lexus UX is a subcompact SUV. As the entry point into the luxury brand, Lexus keeps things simple. The UX only comes with a single drivetrain, a four-cylinder hybrid that makes 181 hp. It can can be paired with either front- or all-wheel drive. 

The Lincoln Aviator is the brand’s other three-row SUV. Slightly smaller than the Navigator, the Aviator is built on a rear-wheel drive platform shared with the Ford Explorer. Of course, the Lincoln wears unique sheet metal and offers far more premium materials inside. It can be had with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. 

The Artura ushers in a new era for McLaren, utilizing a down-sized six-cylinder engine and plug-in hybrid technology. Fears that this would dilute the performance and feeling of the brand thankfully did not come to be. The Artura is still every bit of a performer as its V8 siblings. 

I love spaghetti carbonara. But I can’t eat it all the time.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class continues to be one of the most versatile models in the brand’s lineup. It can come as a traditional sedan, a lifted wagon, a coupe, or a convertible. Here, we are focusing on the latter two. The coupe and convertible include just a single drivetrain, a 3.0-liter turbo 6-cylinder coupled to a mild hybrid. Two levels of power are available, and power can be sent to the rear or all four wheels. 

The GLE Coupe is Mercedes-Benz swoopy-styled version of the GLE SUV. With a raked rear roofline, the GLE Coupe is designed to have a more striking, sportier look. It lacks cargo capacity compared to its GLE sibling and cannot be had with a third row of seats.

Maybach used to be a Mercedes-Benz stand alone super luxury brand. But recently, the manufacturer has transformed into a special trim level on some of Mercedes’ most prestigious vehicles. One of those models is the Maybach GLS. Starting at a price well over $150,000, the exclusive SUV comes with a 550 hp turbocharged V8 mated to a hybrid drivetrain. 

Mercedes-Benz’ flagship sedan is one of the most luxurious four-doors out there. Dripping with elegance, the S-Class continues to be a standard in the segment. Recently, a plug-in hybrid version joined the lineup, utilizing a turbocharged six-cylinder engine and electric motors. 

A lot of folks buy a lot of cars based on a lot of what-if scenarios. The 2023 Mitusbishi Outlander PHEV has an answer for most of them.

The Taycan might be grabbing all the headlines, but the Panamera got its own important round of updates this year.

The Toyota Mirai is one of the most unique vehicles on sale today, as it uses a hydrogen fuel cell to power an electric motor. The big rear-wheel drive sedan offers plenty of passenger space and torque. 

The Toyota RAV4 Prime is the plug-in hybrid version of the this popular compact SUV. Unlike most hybrids, the Prime focuses on performance as much as it does fuel savings. With a total of 302 hp on tap, the RAV4 Prime is one of the most powerful mainstream compact SUVs available today regardless of powertrain.
