With gas prices moving higher, hybrid SUVs are a smart choice. But not all of your options get great fuel economy, and even fewer have stellar reliability ratings. We found six hybrid SUVs that offer a perfect combination of the highest miles per gallon and the best reliability ratings from Consumer Reports.

2026 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

Fuel economy: 47 MPG city / 40 MPG highway

Consumer Reports reliability rating: 77/100

The 2026 RAV4 Hybrid is an all-new sixth-generation model, and for the first time, every RAV4 comes standard with a hybrid powertrain. The redesign brings more power (up to 236 horsepower in AWD trim), a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds, and Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 across the board. At 47 MPG in the city, it’s the most fuel-efficient option on this list, and its reliability score of 77/100 from Consumer Reports is the highest here as well.

2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid

Fuel economy: 43 MPG city / 36 MPG highway

Consumer Reports reliability rating: 61/100

The CR-V Hybrid remains a strong pick for city commuters, with 43 MPG in stop-and-go traffic and a capable 204-horsepower two-motor hybrid system. For 2026, Honda standardized wireless charging and a larger 9-inch touchscreen across the entire lineup, and added a new TrailSport trim for buyers who want more off-road capability. The CR-V faces stiff competition from the fully revamped 2026 RAV4.

2026 Lexus NX Hybrid

Fuel economy: 41 MPG city / 38 MPG highway

Consumer Reports reliability rating: 68/100

For buyers who want a luxury hybrid SUV without sacrificing efficiency, the NX Hybrid delivers. The 2026 NX 350h earns an impressive 38 MPG on the highway and pairs that efficiency with a well-appointed cabin featuring standard heated front seats, NuLuxe upholstery, and Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 across all trims. For 2026, Lexus added a new front-wheel-drive option and an F SPORT Handling trim to the hybrid lineup.

2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid

Fuel economy: 35 MPG city / 34 MPG highway

Consumer Reports reliability rating: 63/100

The 2026 Forester Hybrid is a first for Subaru in the U.S. market, and it brings the brand’s trademark capability in line with hybrid efficiency. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, 8.7 inches of ground clearance, and X-MODE with Hill Descent Control come standard making it the most off-road-capable pick on this list. The 194-horsepower hybrid powertrain delivers up to 581 miles of range per tank, and Subaru’s latest EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is standard across all trims.

2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

Fuel economy: 35 MPG city / 34 MPG highway

Consumer Reports reliability rating: 68/100

The Highlander Hybrid is the traditional choice for families who need three-row seating without the bulk of a full-size SUV. Standard AWD, seating for up to eight, and a 3,500-pound tow rating give it real everyday utility, while 35 MPG combined keeps fuel costs manageable for a midsize three-row. Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+, the Toyota Audio Multimedia system, and an available JBL Premium Audio system are among the key highlights.

2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid

Fuel economy: 37 MPG city / 34 MPG highway

Consumer Reports reliability rating: 73/100

If you need three rows and maximum fuel economy, the Grand Highlander Hybrid is the one to beat. It’s the most efficient three-row SUV on the market, returning 37 MPG in the city and earning a strong 73/100 reliability rating from Consumer Reports. The Grand Highlander’s stretched body gives it more passenger and cargo room than the standard Highlander, with up to 97.5 cubic feet of total cargo space — and seven USB-C ports throughout the cabin so no one in any row runs out of battery.

The Bottom Line

Not every hybrid SUV delivers on both efficiency and reliability. These six models earn their spots on both fronts. If fuel economy is your top priority, the RAV4 Hybrid is the clear winner in the compact class. Want luxury with your MPG? The Lexus NX Hybrid is tough to beat. And if you’re hauling a family of five or more, the Grand Highlander Hybrid gives you the most efficiency of any three-row on the market.
