Interest in hybrid vehicles is growing in India, especially those priced under Rs 50 lakh. These cars offer excellent fuel efficiency and avoid the long charging times of electric vehicles. Some states even offer road tax exemptions for hybrid vehicles, making them even more tempting. That being said, here is the list of the top 5 hybrid cars sold in India.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder

The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, priced between Rs 16.81 lakh (ex-showroom) and Rs 20.19 lakh (ex-showroom), is a versatile option with a claimed efficiency of 27.97km/l. It features a smooth hybrid powertrain that can operate in pure EV mode if the battery is sufficiently charged.

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara

The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara shares many attributes with its sibling, the Hyryder, including a price range of Rs 16.99 lakh (ex-showroom) to Rs 20.68 lakh (ex-showroom) and an identical claimed efficiency of 27.97km/l. Both models have similar specifications but differ in styling and branding. Real-world fuel efficiency usually exceeds 20km/l both in urban settings and on highways.

Honda City Hybrid

The Honda City Hybrid stands out as India's most affordable hybrid sedan at Rs 20.89 lakh (ex-showroom) with a claimed efficiency of 23.13km/l. Unlike the Hyryder and Grand Vitara, it automatically switches between EV, hybrid, and engine modes without manual intervention.

Maruti Suzuki Invicto

Priced from Rs 25.51 lakh (ex-showroom) to Rs 29.22 lakh (ex-showroom), the Maruti Suzuki Invicto is the brand's priciest offering yet, boasting a claimed efficiency of 23.24km/l. Borrowing hybrid technology from Toyota, this MPV excels at passenger comfort and practicality but prefers leisurely driving with efficiencies of 13.1km/l in cities and 16.1km/l on highways.

Toyota Innova Hycross

The Toyota Innova Hycross ranges from Rs 26.31 lakh (ex-showroom) to Rs 31.34 lakh (ex-showroom) with a claimed efficiency of 22.16km/l. It offers additional features like ADAS and ottoman seats compared to the Invicto but shares similar performance characteristics with mileage figures akin to its counterpart.
