Which car brand has the best hybrid car?
Toyota not only has the two best hybrids for the money, but it also has the top two. First, the Toyota Prius is on his iSeeCars list, with his Camry hybrid and Hyundai he taking first place ahead of his Sonata hybrid.
The Prius has a potential lifespan of about 250,601 miles, with a reported 51.7% remaining lifespan. That said, with proper care and maintenance, iSeeCars claims a 10-year-old Prius could last her over 300,000 miles. Plus, the average Prius price at the time was his $13,878, making the hybrid a viable used car option for his hunter. Finally, iSeeCars notes that Toyota's hybrid model costs $107 per 1,000 miles, making him one of the cheapest hybrid models.
Is the Toyota Camry Hybrid Worth Buying?
In addition to the Prius, Toyota's Camry Hybrid sits at the top of iSeeCars' best hybrids for the money segment. His 230,547-mile potential lifespan for the Camry suggests it could last between 250,000 and 300,000 miles.
Of course, such a run requires careful driving and regular maintenance. What's more, his $123 per 1,000-mile figure for the Camry Hybrid puts it right behind the Prius in terms of affordable ownership among the best-for-money hybrids.

Is the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid worth it?
Unlike the Toyota Camry Hybrid, the Hyundai Sonata's potential longevity is less impressive. His 184,887-mile figure for the Sonata hybrid is a far cry from the Camry, but it doesn't indicate the maximum lifespan of the hybrid.
Instead, iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer says, "These vehicles still have over 80,000 miles of life left." As a result, used car shoppers can expect their Hyundai Sonata Hybrid to last his 200,000 to 300,000 miles. What's more, with an average used car price of about $10,948, a 10-year-old Sonata Hybrid costs about the same as a Ford Fusion Hybrid.
Do you have a Kia Optima Hybrid?
Not only does it have the Kia Optima Hybrid, but it's also one of iSeeCars' best and most popular hybrids in terms of value over the past decade. The Optima Hybrid costs $157 per 1,000 miles of ownership, putting him fourth in the segment of popular hybrids.
Additionally, it is an inexpensive and efficient hybrid option among the best hybrids selected by iSeeCars, with a potential life expectancy of approximately 183,632 miles and an estimated remaining life of nearly 70,000 miles.
Does the Ford Fusion Hybrid hold its value?
The Ford Fusion Hybrid may not hold its value, but it's a cheap option with plenty of life. For example, ten years ago the average price of a Fusion hybrid was about $10,948.
Additionally, the Fusion's potential lifespan of 175,670 miles suggests that Ford models can last over 200,000 miles with proper care and maintenance. Of course, on older hybrids, electrical component maintenance can be expensive.
