Performance Hybrid Cars

Best Hybrids according to our experts

01.
Cupra Leon
From
$48,490
7.6/10
From
$48,490
VW Group seems to occupy every niche, as the sporty plug‑in hybrid EV Cupra Leon VZe demonstrates. Based on the Golf GTE but with a totally different look and feel, the Mazda3‑sized, Spanish‑made Leon VZe combines an electric motor and a small turbo‑petrol engine for limited pure‑EV driving around town, or stirring performance out on the open road. But it's expensive and ergonomically flawed.
02.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class
From

Mercedes is making big strides with its new generation models... is the E‑Class up to the task of carrying on its heritage?
03.
Cupra Formentor
From
$51,990
7.8/10
From

Cupra's Formentor PHEV tested!
04.
Mercedes-Benz E53
From
$173,869
8.3/10
From
$173,869
The E53 large car broke plenty of new ground for Mercedes‑AMG in 2018. Three years later, it's been treated to a facelift that doesn't really mess with what's been a largely successful formula. And yes, that's very good news.
05.
Lexus LC
From

8/10
From

The Lexus LC 500 has always been big and bold, and the addition of a folding fabric roof has done nothing to change that for this Convertible version. In fact, it makes hearing the rumble of that big V8 even easier. But is it really a performance car? We put one to the test to find out.
