It’s a full-size luxury car, sure, but this model proves you don’t have to compromise electric capability to get power and comfort. Underneath, it still packs a twin-turbo V8 and pushes a jaw-dropping 670 horsepower when the gas and electric motors work together. You get the thrill and the thrift.

This one’s popular for a reason—it’s versatile. You get seating for five, solid cargo space, and standard all-wheel drive. It doesn’t feel like a science project or a trade-off. You just get quiet, battery-powered driving when you want it and a gas backup when you don’t.
Why Range Still Matters in 2025
Even with more public chargers out there, electric range still hits home for a lot of buyers. Not everyone wants to think about plugging in every few hours or mapping out charging stops.

Having 40–50 miles of EV range means you can do the weekday grind on electricity and still have the freedom to take longer trips on the weekend. It’s about options, not limits. These hybrids give you both—and that’s why they’re gaining ground.
