The best used hybrid SUVs of 2025
If you鈥檝e got a lot of stuff and a lot of people to cart about from place to place, an SUV can be a great way of getting from A to B. But what if you want to keep your eco-credentials in check while you do so? Enter the hybrid SUV. Usually, these complex but comparatively more economical SUVs can come with a fairly punchy price tag, but if you look at the used market there鈥檚 every chance that you鈥檒l be able to snap up an attractive deal on a number of second hand hybrid SUVs. Here, we鈥檝e compiled our list of the 10 best used hybrid SUVs you can currently buy.
1. Audi Q5 TFSI e
Audi Q5 review
Battery range up to 32 miles
The plug-in hybrid version of Audi鈥檚 excellent Q5 is just as well built, posh and comfortable as the regular versions, but with a battery range of 38 miles it makes for excellent inner-city transport. You鈥檒l need to charge it up more than some other plug-in SUVs, however, and alternatives are more fun on a twisty country road.
If you want a big, posh plug-in hybrid SUV that鈥檚 fun to drive and is capable of a fairly staggering 88 miles of electric range, then the BMW X5 xDrive45e is a great bet. Just know it can feel a bit firm on uneven roads, and being a large luxury SUV that鈥檚 still relatively new to the market it won鈥檛 be quite as cheap as some of the other used hybrid SUVs on this list.
Kia鈥檚 funky Sportage might have only gone on sale recently, but you can still snap up a good bargain on a lightly used hybrid model through carwow. Available as both a traditional hybrid and as a plug-in, the Sportage promises a smooth drive, lower running costs and plenty of equipment as standard. It can get a bit tetchy on lumpy roads, though.
Battery range up to 35 miles
The plug-in hybrid version of Ford鈥檚 handsome Kuga not only has a solid electric range of up to 39 miles, it鈥檚 pretty fun to drive on a country road for a heavy SUV too. It鈥檚 well-equipped, but interior quality is a bit naff, its boot could be bigger and Ford鈥檚 infotainment system isn鈥檛 exactly amazing.
5. Volvo XC90 T8 Recharge
Volvo XC90 review
Battery range up to 28 miles
Not only is Volvo鈥檚 excellent XC90 extremely handsome on the outside, it鈥檚 super plush on the inside too. It comes loaded with safety kit, and is impressively comfy on a long drive. You get seven seats, too. Just know that the plug-in hybrid model鈥檚 electric range is pretty poor - you鈥檙e looking at about 28 miles on pre-2023 model-year versions.
6. Mercedes GLE 350de
Mercedes-Benz GLE review
Battery range up to 57 miles
This luxurious diesel plug-in hybrid SUV comes with a whopping 62-mile electric range, which should let you do practically all of your daily driving emissions-free if you keep it charged up overnight. It鈥檚 comfortable, and very nicely appointed on the inside - but you can only get it as a five-seater.
The latest Hyundai Tucson can already be found on the used market, and like the Kia Sportage you can have it as either a regular hybrid or a plug-in hybrid. Its interior is spacious and very well made, and it鈥檚 decent to drive on a twisty road too. It does feel firm over bumps though, and the looks won鈥檛 be to everyone鈥檚 tastes.
Battery range up to 36 miles
Not only is the plug-in hybrid version of the Land Rover Discovery Sport very comfortable on the road, it鈥檚 super capable in the mucky stuff too. You get a posh interior and 30 miles of electric range, but its battery means you get five seats instead of the standard seven-seat layout of the non-hybrid models.
Toyota鈥檚 excellent RAV4 can be had as either a regular hybrid or as a plug-in, and the latter comes with an electric range of around 50 miles. If you want a decent deal, this is one of the best second hand hybrid SUVs around. Just know that its petrol engine can be really loud under hard acceleration.
10. Honda CR-V
Honda CR-V review
The Honda CR-V might not be all that fun on a twisty road, but it鈥檚 very comfortable on the motorway and very efficient around town, where its hybrid system allows it to run for short bursts on electricity alone. You get loads of interior space and a big boot, but the infotainment system leaves something to be desired.
