India’s Best Plug-In Hybrid SUVs for Highway Travel – The road is infested with adventure along the way. Driving along Indian highways is an experience since the stretch of road is huge, not much traffic comes in the way, and the wind kisses your face. Nevertheless, a niggling thought about the travel running out and the car comfortably covering the distance is ever-present during such trips. Hence, people will now settle for cars that are somewhere in between power, mileage, and technology. At this time, the PHEV SUV is winning. These SUVs will run on petrol and, at the same time, extend fair mileage in electric mode for an impeccable highway experience. Hence, I will now discuss 5 of the best PHEV SUVs curated primarily for highway travel across India.
Toyota Innova HyCross PHEV
Finally, Toyota has long been known for its long life and low maintenance. Of all the other cars in this lineup, the HyCross PHEV seems to be destined surely for all these highways. That buttery smooth ride comes from a combined unit of petrol engine and electric motor. The electric range on the car is pretty good. You do not use petrol for very short distances; on highways, petrol just gives an acceptable response. The view from the driver’s seat is pretty clear for the road ahead, and the suspension turns the rough highways into a smooth dream. For family travels, cabin quality and space beyond that come really handy.
MG Hector Plus Plug
MG has always had its fair share of feature-loaded offerings available in India. The plug-in hybrid seems just the right vehicle for the one who needs power on highways but enjoys gliding through city traffic with the calmness of an EV. The Hector Plus hybrid system gets the vehicle going with instant acceleration, thus making overtaking a much-needed exercise. Besides, the largest asset of MG is its intelligent system. The big touchscreen, the really premium features, and ride comfort make it a great highway car. If one is a tech junkie and loves having a plush ride in this SUV, it promises to give one a whole lot of joy.
Hyundai Tucson Plug
The PHEV can be called a high-end SUV in India. However, its greatest strength is its premium and quiet interior. Highway travelled in this one is less prone to engine noise and outside noise, and hence is a pleasing landscape on which to put your eyes. The hybrid system offers the advantage that, at lower speeds, the vehicle would run electric only and hence improve fuel economy a lot, and when acceleration is required, the regular petrol engine comes in on demand. Suspension tuning ensures that this SUV is safe and comfortable for long-distance touring.
Volvo XC60 Recharge PHEV
If you happen to be someone who frequently uses the highway and wishes to give paramount importance to safety, then here is the XC60 Recharge. Not only is this SUV one of the safest in the world, but its hybrid system, which is indeed very effective, deserves mention. It made a considerable difference under turbo strain by having its city driving mode of operation. Turbocharged engine power remains in its quiet world on the highway and is strong enough to silence other distractions. You will certainly feel secure on long journeys, with plenty of comfort and sturdy build quality that comes with it.
Jeep Compass 4xe
Compass always gets the hearts of many wanting to take some adventure off the road. Jeep very well mixed power with the electric range feature in its Plug-In Hybrid version. The SUV is pretty rock-solid on the highway, and acceleration is child’s play due to the instant torque from the electric motor. In a sense, Compass 4xe is the most perfectly suited companion on long journeys for those Pakistanis who sometimes meet rugged terrain but do not want to miss out on some fun electric driving.
Plug-in hybrid SUVs now stand as the ultimate choice for Indian highways, unifying within one vehicle power, range, comfort, and technology. These vehicles are just what is needed for that weekend getaway with family or just a daily commute between two remote cities. All five SUVs in question instil confidence in every scenario in which they find themselves. All five PHEV SUVs have their own areas of specialisation; yet, they enhance the experience of the simple, comfortable, and inexpensive journey.
