Best Hybrid Car 2024 – Lexus NX350h

When Lexus and parent company Toyota started out building hybrids there wasn’t a whole lot of competition out there. It's since sold well over two million electrified cars on its own, passing that threshold as far back as 2021 and since adding to the range with plug-in and full electric models. But as the technology has improved, other manufacturers have got in on the act and the move to electrification has prompted increasing take-up of hybrids as a stepping stone away from pure internal combustion power the rivals have got stronger and stronger.
So, absolute credit to Lexus for maintaining its lead and scoring Best Hybrid Car 2024 against an incredibly strong field of competitors. Owners both male and female praised the NX for its comfort, quality and reliability while Lexus’s hybrid system is appreciated for its simplicity and flexibility, one owner saying “all local journeys are on electric and there’s no range anxiety on longer journeys”, pretty much summing up why hybrids work for so many drivers.
