Two of the best such examples of this winning combo are the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.

    Plug-in hybrid vehicles are like having the best of two worlds: a standard gasoline-powered car and an electric vehicle in one.

    Compact SUVs have a keen ability to satisfy myriad needs for today’s car shoppers. They are right-sized, efficient, great values, and come stocked with the latest tech and safety features. No wonder compact SUVs are the most popular class of vehicles, with over a dozen to choose from. That breadth brings a lot of variety, including choices like the bold new 2025 GMC Terrain and the perennially popular 2025 Honda CR-V.
