New hybrid cars are becoming increasingly popular in the U.S., as most potential buyers look to lower their running costs as the price of gas continually increases. With looming tariffs continually posing a threat to automakers, there are some HEVs that may be subject to drastic price increases.

The Cars.com American-Made Index ranks over 400 2025 model-year vehicles on how much they contribute to the U.S. economy. It measures final assembly location, parts sourcing from the U.S. and Canada, engine and transmission origin, and the size of the U.S. manufacturing workforce. Heavier vehicles get a slight edge as a tiebreaker. Consumer surveys reveal 73 percent would consider American-made vehicles to avoid tariffs, and 74 percent would pay up to 20 percent more to support U.S. jobs.

To give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from various manufacturers and other authoritative sources, including Cars.com and the EPA. We've ordered the models based on their American-made index rankings from Cars.com, from highest to lowest.

Ford builds the PowerBoost-driven F‑150 Hybrid for the U.S. market exclusively at its Dearborn Truck Plant, located within the historic Ford Rouge Complex in Dearborn, Michigan. Although some F‑150s are assembled at Kansas City, Missouri, all hybrid PowerBoost models derive solely from this location.

The Ford F-150 Hybrid features the brand's turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 powertrain with a single permanent-magnet unit attached to a 10-speed automatic transmission. This produces a combined 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet to the four-wheel drive system, resulting in a claimed 5.8-second 0-60 MPH time and 107 MPH top speed. The EPA estimates that this model will cover 704 miles on a single tank and return a 23 MPG combined fuel consumption estimate.

Toyota builds the Grand Highlander Hybrid for the U.S. market at its Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana plant in Princeton, Indiana. The West Plant has produced the Grand Highlander since August 2023, including both the gas‑only and hybrid variants, as well as the high-performance Hybrid Max version.

The Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid clearly prioritizes efficiency over performance, despite featuring a powertrain that produces a fair amount of power. Under the hood, you'll find a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine and a pair of permanent-magnet electric motors that increase the combined output to 245 horsepower. Both the front- and all-wheel-drive models feature Toyota's direct-drive eCVT system. The Turbocharged model produces a combined 362 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque, with the engine alone generating 271 horsepower. This particular configuration employs a conventional six-speed automatic transmission.

The base entry-level Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid front-wheel drive option covers an EPA-estimated 619 miles on a single tank of gas from its 17.2-gallon tank, making it the Japanese hybrid SUV with the highest estimated range claim in the new vehicle market. It also returns a reasonably impressive 36/37/37 MPG estimate on the EPA's city/highway/combined cycle. Upgrading to the all-wheel-drive system means that your range decreases to 595 miles, while efficiency worsens to a 34/36/32 MPG set of estimates. The flagship Limited and Platinum trims are pretty much unchanged, apart from their 34 MPG highway estimates.

The twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V-6 gasoline-electric i-Force Max hybrid engine used in the Tundra Hybrid is a new powertrain dedicated to the global market. This connects to an alternate current electric motor, granting it a combined power output of 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque. As per the EPA, you can expect this truck to return a combined 22 MPG and cover 644 miles on a single tank of gas in four-wheel drive guise.

Honda builds the Accord Hybrid for the American market at its Marysville Auto Plant in Marysville, Ohio. The plant has produced every generation of the Accord since opening in 1982. Honda added a hybrid assembly in 2013. The 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid's powertrain consists of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine connected to a pair of series and parallel electric motors located on the front axle and in-between the engine. The system sends a combined 204 horsepower and 247 pound-feet to the front wheels. The result is a 6.5-second 0-60 MPH time and 125 MPH top speed.

In return, you get to enjoy some really impressive fuel consumption returns, including an EPA-estimated 51/44/48 MPG result on the city/highway/combined cycle and up to 614 miles on a single tank of gas, measuring 12.8 gallons. The EPA indicates that you'll save around $3,500 on fuel every five years and spend $950 a year.

Toyota builds the Highlander Hybrid for the American market at its Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana plant in Princeton, Indiana. The Toyota Highlander Hybrid features the brand's naturally aspirated Atkinson-cycle 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, working with three permanent-magnet synchronous electric drive units located at the front and rear axles, increasing the combined output to 243 horsepower. As per the brand's claims, the Highlander Hybrid covers a 0-60 MPH sprint in 7.2 seconds and will hit a limited 118 MPH top speed.

The Highlander Hybrid isn't the most fuel-efficient Toyota HEV that you can consider in 2025, but it's not bad for the segment that it operates in, especially when you consider the fact that it is a fully functional three-row SUV. The XLE models benefit from a 35/35/35 MPG fuel consumption estimate on the city/highway/combined cycle, while the Limited and Platinum trims fractionally worsen it to 35/34/35 MPG. Beyond this, their estimates are identical.

Toyota assembles the Sienna for the American market at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana in Princeton, Indiana. The East Plant has produced Sienna since 2003, and handles the current fourth-generation, hybrid-only version, meaning they all come from this facility.

The Toyota Sienna range is only available with the brand's naturally aspirated Atkinson-cycle 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors that directly drive either the front or all four wheels via an eCVT system. The EPA indicates that both drivetrains will return a 36 MPG combined fuel consumption. The front-wheel drive model covers 648 miles on a single tank, and the all-wheel drive 630 miles.

Jeep builds the Grand Cherokee 4xe for the U.S. market at the Detroit Assembly Complex, which includes the Jefferson North Assembly Plant and the Mack Plant, both located in Detroit, Michigan. This facility has been the production home of the Grand Cherokee for over 30 years and began producing the electrified 4xe model in 2021.

The Grand Cherokee 4xe features a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and two electric motors to produce an impressive 375 combined horsepower. This makes it good for a 5.3-second 0-60 MPH sprint. Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of consumption. The EPA estimates this model consumes 56 MPGe and covers 470 miles on a single tank of gas. The battery can only carry you for around 26 miles before needing to be replenished with electricity.

Toyota builds the Camry for the American market at its Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky plant in Georgetown, Kentucky. All 2025 Toyota Camry models feature the trusty naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine, which produces 184 horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque in isolation. The front-wheel-drive model features a pair of electric motors that generate a combined 134 horsepower and 153 pound-feet. Toyota doesn't give us a combined torque figure, but it confirms that it limits peak power to 225 horsepower. The all-wheel-drive model adds a third electric motor to the rear, producing 40 horsepower, 62 pound-feet, which increases the peak output to 233 horsepower.

As per the EPA's official fuel consumption estimates for the 2025 Toyota Camry, the front-wheel-drive LE is the most attractive model for you to consider, with its 53/50/51 MPG fuel consumption on the city/highway/combined cycle. Thanks to a 13-gallon tank and compact battery pack, you can expect this to cover 663 miles in-between gas stations. Upgrading to the all-wheel-drive configuration worsens consumption to 51/49/50 MPG and range to 650 miles on a tank.

Jeep builds the Wrangler 4xe destined for the U.S. market at its Toledo Assembly Complex in Toledo, Ohio. Production began in December 2020, co‑located with standard-gasoline Wrangler lines, allowing hybrid integration on the same assembly line. This model features a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which generates 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet. The single-permanent magnet and eTorque motors increase the total system output to 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet.

Despite the Wrangler 4xe being a bulky 4x4 with boxy proportions and a full-time four-wheel drive system, it manages to return some very impressive fuel consumption figures. The EPA estimates the model brings in a 49 MPGe combined energy consumption figure, while the ICE returns an equally impressive 20 MPG without any EV assistance.
