Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid

The Kia Sorento plug-in hybrid's fuel efficiency and overall easy-to-drive nature are commendable, but its steep asking price makes us question its value proposition. We think the standard Sorento is a bit more well-rounded and affordable. Read full review

Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

Edmunds Rating: 7.4_/10

The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe has all the makings of a great SUV on paper. Who wouldn't want a plug-in hybrid Jeep that is both more efficient and quicker than its V8-powered stablemate? Unfortunately, we found it compromises on comfort and value compared to the standard Grand Cherokee. Real-world fuel economy in our testing was underwhelming too. Read full review
