Fastest hybrid cars of 2024
Hybrid cars are all about fuel economy and low emissions, right? Well, yes, but that doesn’t necessarily mean sacrificing performance. Go for any of the cars on this list and you can enjoy rapid acceleration while doing your bit to cut emissions and improve local air quality. Here’s our rundown of the fastest hybrid cars you can buy through carwow.
It's worth highlighting that plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models are the mainstay of this list, as conventional hybrids that can't be plugged in tend to prioritise efficiency over performance.
1. BMW 3 Series 330e

Audi Q5 review3. Volvo XC90 T8
Volvo XC90 reviewThe telltale name to look out for is 'T8', as this indicates that underneath the sleek, sensible body of the XC90 (the same hybrid setup is also offered in other Volvos) sits a turbocharged, supercharged 2.0-litre petrol engine, together with a battery pack and electric motor. These put out 455hp in total, giving the large XC90 a 0-60mph time of just 5.1 seconds, together with an all-electric range of around 41 miles (officially).

4. Skoda Octavia vRS Estate
Skoda Octavia vRS Estate reviewWe've opted for the Estate version here, though there's also a hatchback if you don't need or want the 490 litres of space available in the wagon.

Range Rover Sport reviewOh, and as for performance, the Sport 510e manages 0-60mph in just 5.2 seconds, which is pretty swift for any car, let alone one as luxurious as the new Sport. There's also a 440e model, which is hardly much slower, taking 5.5 seconds to do the same 0-62mph sprint.
