Most Satisfying New Compact Hybrid Cars

Below, we list the most satisfying compact hybrid vehicles in order of their owner satisfaction scores so that you can find one that puts a smile on your face on the road as well as at the gas pump.

Not all of these models are CR–recommended models. The ones that are scored well in our road tests, which comprise more than 50 objective and subjective evaluations. On top of that, they have good reliability and come standard with key active safety equipment, including forward collision warning (FCW) and automatic emergency braking (AEB), while blind spot warning (BSW) is available as either standard or optional equipment. The cars also performed well in government and insurance-industry crash tests if they were tested.

Each of these has our Green Choice designation, which highlights the vehicles with the cleanest emissions.

Some of the vehicles in this list include the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius, among others.
