The 10 cheapest hybrid cars you can buy
Hybrids bridge the gap between petrol and fully electric cars, combining an engine with an electric motor to help lower your running costs. Here, we run through the 10 cheapest hybrids...
Sales of hybrid cars are booming right now, because they can be cheap to run thanks to their ability to run on petrol or electric power. But what if you want a hybrid that's both cheap to buy and run?
That's where we step in, because in this top 10 we're listing the cheapest hybrid cars you can buy right now. And because almost every manufacturer makes a hybrid these days, there's a wide range of body styles to choose from, including small cars, family cars and small SUVs.
It's important to note we're referring to the cheapest hybrid cars that you don't have to plug in on this list. That's because most mild hybrids can't run on pure electric power like a regular hybrid can, with the electric motor helping to boost the engine's power and efficiency instead. Meanwhile, plug-in hybrids are too expensive to feature on the list (for now, at least).
