Lexus NX 450h+
The Lexus NX has been a hot seller for Toyota’s luxury brand, what with its great looks, its interior tech (it was the NX that debuted Lexus’ all new digital cockpit) and strong dynamics. Those dynamics are backed up by 304 horses from the hybrid powertrain, enough to get you up to highway speeds in no time even with the added weight of the battery and EV powertrain.
If you’re looking for a little more space and panache, then the larger RX 450h+ is worth a look.

Mazda CX-90 PHEV
The CX-90 three-row SUV served as a beacon for what Mazda’s stylistic and engineering future was going to look like. Style-wise, its widened five-point grille, narrow headlamp lenses, long-hood and colour and wheel choices make it possibly the best-looking vehicle on this list.
Inside, the CX-90 gets all manner of luxury touches, especially in top-flight GT spec where it incorporates real leather seating and premium Bose audio. There are three trims altogether, however, so there should be a CX-90 to fit any budget.
