Hybrids are becoming more commonplace in the American car landscape. The technology once reserved for small, efficient hatchbacks and sedans has now reached large SUVs and crossovers like the Mazda CX-90. These mild-hybrid SUVs still use a gasoline setup, which powers most of the car. However, they are also kitted with small, 48-volt motors that help run things like the accessories and some mechanicals. This helps take stress off of the engine and has other added benefits like better fuel economy, more power, and a smoother ride. While these SUVs may not be the full typical hybrids you’d expect from the likes of Toyota or Honda, they do add to the growing hybridization of cars in the US. So, we’re ranking the best mild-hybrid SUVs you can buy today based on our BuzzScore rating.
