Best used hybrid cars
Self-charging hybrid cars can help lower your running costs without needing to be charged up from a plug. Used self-charging hybrids can save you even more, knowing which ones are best can be a chore, so we’ve done the work for you.
The Kuga SUV offers a sharp driving experience and comes packed with kit despite a reasonable asking price. Used models can offer a big saving over a new car. The 190hp hybrid motor can average 51mpg and has decent performance. The only drawback here is a slightly below average boot and an infotainment system that isn’t quite as intuitive as it should be.

The Honda Jazz is a versatile city car with plenty of interior space. It also manages a seriously impressive 63mpg thanks to its frugal self-charging hybrid engine. It is priced at the top end of the small car market, but you can find plenty of nearly new low mileage cars for a significant saving.
The latest Kia Niro (pictured) is an impressive family SUV, but there was nothing much wrong with the previous generation model either. It could be had with a frugal self-charging hybrid engine which can be driven for short periods purely on battery power. Used examples are very keenly priced, too.

If you’re after a luxurious SUV for a decent price that also offers low running costs, then the previous generation Lexus NX350h is a great choice. It’s packed with equipment, but doesn’t quite have the interior space and slick infotainment system of some of its contemporaries.

The Toyota Corolla is a great hybrid car that is well-built and cheap to run. It’s not the most spacious in the rear but should be more than adequate for a family of four with a pair of teenagers. Low mileage examples of the current generation model can be had for a significant saving over a new car.

The Renault Clio is a popular and capable small hatchback, that’s made even more desirable thanks to its sprightly hybrid engine. You can find great savings on the current generation model which offers an upmarket interior and a surprisingly spacious boot.

If you spend much of your time within city limits, the compact Toyota Yaris hybrid is a great option. It won’t win any prizes for rear passenger and boot space, but it’s thoroughly modern inside and will deliver up to 69mpg. Used examples will further lower your monthly payments.

The Honda CR-V is spacious and comfortable around town and has decent boot space. The engine can get vocal when pushed, but it offers a respectable 43mpg in mixed driving. Used models offer a big saving that should help keep running costs low.
There’s a lot to like about the sharp-looking Hyundai Ioniq. It promises very low running costs and more standard equipment than most alternatives. It’s not the quickest car around, but it is easy to drive and used examples offer seriously good value for money.

The Suzuki Swace is essentially a Toyota Corolla Touring with a different badge, but that’s no bad thing. It’s solidly built and offers a smooth and comfortable driving experience. New ones are priced below an equivalent Corolla Touring, and used models are even more affordable.
