Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles with Over 50 km of Electric Range in 2026

Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) are often considered a first step between gasoline models and fully electric vehicles, combining several advantages of both powertrains: low fuel consumption and the ability to travel long distances without needing to recharge.

However, for their purchase to make sense, PHEVs must have sufficient electric range. When the battery is depleted, they are generally less efficient than a comparable traditional hybrid version due to the weight of their battery.

Here is a list of plug-in hybrid models available in Canada in 2026 with more than 50 km of electric range, in descending order:

Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC 2026
