Electric cars are the new thing and internal combustion engine, or ICE, cars are the reliable, familiar thing, but hybrids offer a taste of both worlds. Partially electrified drivetrains may not be as flashy as battery-powered electric vehicles, but hybrids benefit from quick refueling and a nationwide network of gas stations, even in rural areas, as well as substantially improved fuel efficiency. This means that hybrids are often the best choice for many people, especially those who want to reduce the costs of a long commute or those who do a lot of city driving.
Whatever your reason for buying and whatever type of hybrid you’re looking for, there’s a deal for you on this list. Here are the 10 cheapest hybrid cars available in 2024. Prices include destination charges but do not include taxes, title or license fees, which vary by country.
