The new CR-V will be a rival for the Toyota RAV4, Peugeot 3008, Ford Kuga and Nissan Qashqai, however pricing information or any details about the new SUV’s powertrain have yet to be released. Honda is expected to unveil the sixth generation of the CR-V sometime in 2022, and it's likely to be available exclusively with hybrid power if the rest of the brand's range is anything to go by. Read more about the next-generation Civic here. Next up will be the next-generation Honda Civic, arriving in the UK in late 2022. We expect it'll get the same 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine and pair of electric motors seen in other Honda hybrids to date, possibly making the same 129bhp and 253Nm of torque this setup achieves in the HR-V (below). Honda is gradually moving to hybrid power as the only option for most models in its line-up, with the Jazz supermini and CR-V family SUV already having made the transition. Read more about the Ferrari 296 GTB here. A relatively small 7.45kWh battery restricts pure-electric driving to around 15 miles, however it ensures a good power-to-weight ratio overall. It still puts out a hefty 816bhp, however, making it capable of 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 205mph. The more affordable (in Ferrari terms, anyway) 296 GTB has a single electric motor rather than the SF90's three, and is rear rather than four-wheel drive. Ferrari 296 GTBįerrari's adoption of hybrid power began with the range-topping SF90 Stradale and its open-top Spider version. That should be sufficient for more than 30 miles of pure-electric driving, while on the practicality front, there's 545 litres of boot space with the seats up, and a sizeable 1,640-litre load capacity when they're folded down. It also packs plug-in hybrid power in the shape of the 222bhp petrol-electric setup already used in the C5 Aircross Hybrid family SUV. Citroen C5 XĬitroen is looking to go back to its roots of large, comfortable car with the C5 X, which combines elements of an SUV, a large hatchback and a sleek coupe in one bodystyle.

Bentley also claims the Flying Spur Hybrid is capable of over 25 miles of pure-electric driving and says it'll be be the most efficient Bentley ever, able to cover over 435 miles on a tank of fuel. It has a 2.9-litre V6 petrol engine and electric motor, producing 536bhp and 750Nm of torque – similar power and torque figures to the petrol V8 Flying Spur and sufficient for a 0-62mph time of 4.5 seconds. Bentley Flying Spur Hybridīentley is already on to its second generation of the Bentayga Hybrid SUV, but this Flying Spur is the first of the brand's more traditional luxury saloons to get plug-in hybrid power. Read more about the Aston Martin Valhalla here. Pure-electric range is a modest nine miles – less than its plug-in supercar rivals the McLaren Artura and Ferrari 296GTB (see below) can manage. Under the metal is a 4.0-litre V8 engine and twin electric motors, producing a total of 937bhp for a 2.5-second 0-62mph time. It has had a long gestation, and the final version looks quite different to the initial concept, with front-end styling closer to that of Aston's traditional coupe GTs. It's the storied British brand's first mid-engined production car, as well as its first plug-in hybrid model. The Valhalla is a breakthrough model for Aston Martin for a number of reasons. Read more about the plug-in hybrid DBX here. However, there’s no word yet on battery size, electric motor output, engine size or power output. The plug-in hybrid version is expected to arrive in 2024, at which point it’ll rival the Bentley Bentayga Hybrid, Audi Q8 TFSI e and Porsche Cayenne and Cayenne Coupe hybrids. Here, we take a look at some of the most notable new hybrid – and plug-in hybrid – cars set to arrive in the near future… Aston Martin DBX hybridĪlong with the Valhalla, Aston Martin is also working on an electrified version of its DBX SUV. Plus, hybrids are a convenient yet still less environmentally harmful motoring option to go for if you don’t have reliable access to a home wallbox or public charging point you’d typically use to top up an electric car’s battery.Īs a result, over the past few years there has been an explosion of hybrid cars on the market, from mild-hybrid hatchbacks to plug-in hybrid supercars, and there are plenty more still on their way. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars offer those who aren’t yet ready to make the switch to electric several benefits over purely petrol and diesel-powered models, from lower Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) company-car tax, to lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions.
