The 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid is Among the Best and Most Efficient SUVs. Nonetheless, the ride quality remains comfortable on all but the roughest of pavement (fault the thinner sidewalls of the 20-inch tires), while the steering is precise with no on-center slop. The extra weight of the battery pack and electric motors surely does the crossover no favors.

In spite of this kit, the RX remains rather lackadaisical when push comes to shove. The 2016 Mazda CX-5 is one of the highest-ranked and most fun-to-drive compact crossovers in its class. Included in the F Sport package are adaptive dampers. Credit the immediate torque of the electric motors, as well as the electric motor that works with the combustion engine by way of a planetary gearset to expertly dole power to the drive wheels in a way that mimics a continuously variable transmission. In the real world, though, the RX 450h moves with adequate aplomb. Blame the hybrid’s added heft – at 4,740 pounds, the RX 450h packs an extra 353 pounds in weight relative to its RX 350 counterpart. Despite the hybrid’s extra horses, it’s no quicker than the non-hybrid model, and both all-wheel-drive RX’s scoot to 60 miles per hour in a manufacturer claimed 7.9 seconds. Combined, the trio produces 308 horsepower, or 13 more than the V6 engine in the RX 350. Power comes courtesy of a 3.5-liter V6 engine and three electric motors: two up front, and one at the rear axle.

If comfortably carrying cargo is of great importance in your gasoline-electric hybrid luxury crossover SUV, then the three-row Acura MDX, which offers up to 68.4 cubic feet of cargo space with its rear rows stowed, is worth a look.

While those in search of more space can opt for the larger RX 450hL, the model’s squarer rear end only affords it a mere 2.6 cubic feet of overall space behind its front seats. This test car’s $200 touch-free power rear door, which allows the hatch to open by waving one’s hand near the rear Lexus emblem, at least improved access to its small cargo hold. With 94 MPG-equivalent and 38 mpg combined in gas mode, the base 2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime is the most fuel-efficient plug-in model among hybrid SUVs. With only 18.0 cubic feet of cargo space with all seats in place and 55.9 cubes with the rears folded, the RX 450h is down almost 10 cubic feet to even the lowly Toyota Prius. With 53 MPG city and 45-54 MPG on the highway, the base 2023 Kia Niro is the most fuel-efficient model among hybrid SUVs. The Lexus, however, falls short in its cargo-carrying capabilities. Headroom proved more than adequate, as well, even with my test car’s massive $1,850 panoramic sunroof. The Niro is also surprisingly fun behind. At its best, the Niro achieves 52 miles per gallon in the city and 49 mpg on the highway, which makes it the most efficient vehicle on this list. Passenger space is plentiful, and those with long legs will find adequate room to stretch out within this crossover. The Kia Niro made a bit of a splash when it debuted in 2017 as an affordable subcompact crossover SUV that gets outstanding fuel economy.
