10 Hybrid SUV Prices

Hybrid sport utility vehicles have been around for about 5-6 years now (the first was the 2005 hybrid Ford Escape that went on sale in 2004) and while there once were several more to choose from (including the hybrid Dodge Durango, hybrid Saturn Vue, hybrid Chrysler Aspen and the hybrid Mazda Tribute), you still have a decent selection to consider today.

Once you begin researching hybrid SUV’s you will notice a huge range of prices. On the low end are the Escape and Mariner which both start around $30K. On the other end of the green spectrum sits a new BMW hybrid that fully loaded will push up against $100K. Below is a quick roundup of ‘10 model hybrid sport utilities ordered from least to most expensive. I’ll add some photos and links to reviews next, but this should get you started.
