2018 Nissan Rogue Hybrid
Hybrid vehicles have come a long way since their inception. Their performance, exterior style, interior amenities, and advanced technology have improved, in addition to their impressive fuel efficiency ratings, meaning hybrids either rival or surpass non-hybrid options. Of course, in the past the benefits of the eco-friendly drivetrain often came at a high price, but that is no longer the case as more automakers are producing and improving their own hybrid options. The editors at U.S. News & World Report just rounded up the 12 Cheapest Hybrid Cars, and it’s no surprise the stunning, high-performing, and budget-friendly 2018 Nissan Rogue Hybrid made the cut.

It delivers a smooth ride, has a high-quality cabin, and attains high safety ratings.”
