6. 2018 Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid
Like the Hyundai Ioniq PHEV, the 2018 Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid can be difficult to find for less than $20,000, and the cars you do find may be high-mileage. Still, with the practicality of a modern compact crossover and 105 MPGe/46 mpg, 26 miles of all-electric range, and 560 miles total range, finding a deal on the Niro PHEV is worth the work.

7. 2017 Kia Optima Plug-in Hybrid
The 2017 Kia Optima Plug-in Hybrid is also getting harder to find these days, precisely because it’s affordable, sharply styled, feature-filled, and efficient. The Optima PHEV’s 103 MPGe and 40 mpg combined hybrid rating pair with 29 miles of all-electric range and 610 miles of total range. See used 2017 Kia Optima Plug-In Hybrid models for sale near you
8. 2016 Ford Fusion Energi
If you prefer a sleek midsize sedan to a hatchback or crossover, the 2016 Ford Fusion Energi PHEV might be the one for you. With 20 miles of all-electric range and 550 miles of total range, the Fusion Energi is still solidly mid-pack even among these newer models, as are its 88 MPGe and 38 mpg hybrid ratings. Unlike some of the cars on this list, the Fusion Energi is pretty easy to find, even below the $20,000 mark. See used 2016 Ford Fusion Energi models for sale near you

Bearing the most luxurious nameplate on this list, the 2016 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron is surprisingly easy to find under the $20,000 mark. The A3 e-tron scores 83 MPGe and 35 mpg in hybrid mode, with 16 miles of electric range and 380 miles total range. Look for models equipped with adaptive cruise control.

10. 2015 BMW i3 w/Range Extender
The second-oldest vehicle on the list and easily the most unusual, the 2015 BMW i3 is less a true PHEV and more a short-range EV with a gasoline backup. That said, it scores well on the numbers against its newer competition, with 72 miles of all-electric range, 150 miles total range, 117 MPGe, and 39 mpg when driven as a hybrid. The i3’s fun design, unique interior, and futuristic feel stand out even seven years later. See used 2015 BMW i3 w/Range Extender models for sale near you
