AWD Hybrid / EV under $35K

Looking for a new AWD EV or hybrid crossover/SUV with MSRP under $35k to maximize state tax credits. Is that option available in CO? I haven’t found one yet.

Looking for what, may be, a unicorn.

So i 99% want to get into a PHEV. That is the main feature im looking for. Currently driving 2014 Ford escape with 208k miles.

I know in terms of AWD, I am greatly limited to the RAV4, but is there anything out there that has the same body style of the Chevrolet Trax? I really love the longer look and "shorter" look, but still off the ground as an suv.

I even though I live in south land Chicago area and winters can suck, I would give up AWD for front wheel if I could get the trax body style and PHEV.

Trax has no option for PHEV, so am I out of luck with only RAV4?

I have a 2020 Escape with the 1.5l turbo. I'm very interested in trading it in for a '26 Escape phev. I've gotten a lot of valuable information from Reddit world and I have to thank all of you. You helped decide that I want one. But one thing nobody has mentioned is how much their monthly electric bill has gone up. I know you all are scattered about the country and Canada. I live in the Chicago area with ComEd. Could you please share the electricity cost and the area you live!

Thank You!

My Kia ev9 lease is up in December.

I test drove some PHEVs. And liked the Volvo xc90 as a responsible option for my family of 5. Loved the BMW x5e if I’m being selfish.

Do you think I’ll get a good lease deal on a 2026 in December or stock will be low that I will or should go with a 2027?

Any other thoughts are appreciated

Anyone else get a phev and then wish they just went full EV? We picked up this Sorento phev as we needed the third row for kids and space. Then two weeks later my wife picked up a Honda Prologue full EV. I swear, after driving her car around I now want a full EV too lol. The reality is I can’t afford an EV9 or any other full size third row EV right now but man - I feel like when I my burns through the battery and I move back to gas hybrid again I get so bummed lol.

Hey guys, looking for your guys's recommendation on a plug-in hybrid for Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Super cold in the winter time. What are your guys recommendations? Thanks again!

Hi. My son is starting UCSC in the fall and our old car (2005 Chevy Suburban) is not up to the task. It’s a six hour journey on a good day. We need a second car anyway and I was thinking of buying (preferable to leasing?) a used PHEV. We live in an apt and not a house so not easy access to electricity. And my son is 6’3 tall so needs space to fit! Any thoughts on if this is a good way to go? Thank you. New to this whole process. My previous cars were always outright purchases and kept them until no longer viable (as with Suburban).

I'm looking for a commuter vehicle/daily driver and settled on a Tucson. I have 2 choices N-Line Regular Hybrid or a Limited PHEV. Same year, similar price, similar mileage. I'm hesitant on the PHEV though as I can't charge at my current living situation.

I know I'd be losing about 3mpg with the PHEV vs the hybrid, but are there any other downsides? Extra wear on the tires because the PHEV is heavier?

That’s what I joke about to my wife - The engine only works sometimes! :-). Seriously, I love this car! Over 1000 miles on half a tank (181 miles per US Gallon). What is your record? And yes, I know my TPMS light is on, as I recently purchased some used wheels and tires, and apparently there are no sensors in them. Suggestions, other than the dealer!

Bought my GTE mk8.5 in February and what a great time to do so with the ongoing oil crisis and raising fuel costs. Driving past petrol stations has become my new favourite hobby.

Petrol currently on 91% and I’ve not refuelled since 24/03 (Although I was on holiday for 2 weeks during April). Completed just over 1K miles almost always on E mode, only switching to hybrid on the motorway when feeling range anxiety, and using boost every now and then for spirited overtakes and country roads

I rarely put it in hybrid mode unless I’m doing a long distance drive. My daily driving is anything between 25-100 miles.

2nd pic - never thought I’d see VW’s range claims on my own car (didn’t test if I got the full claimed range or not)

I’ve gotten 3 different answers on this. First photo is my vehicle, picked it up last week as a dealer demo. Second photo is someone I found on Facebook with the same status. Both show 31% health and a long time since last calibration. I assume it is incorrect seeing as I am getting the range while in EV as advertised.
