What Car's least reliable hybrids 2024

It has now turned out that full hybrids, which were buried by many when electric cars and plug-in hybrids advanced, still have something to earn on the market. It is probably due to the low-power electric component that they prove to be much more problem-free than the BEV variants – this is clearly demonstrated by the fact that, while the What Car? magazine’s reliability survey, the electric car with the best performance achieved 87.7 percent, for hybrids this value was 95.9!

Overall, however, hybrids and plug-in hybrids proved to be the most reliable; in the field of cars not older than 5 years, only 19 percent of them had breakdowns, while this ratio was 22 percent for gasoline models. Every fourth (27%) electric car broke down, and it was even worse for diesels: the failure rate was 31 percent.

However, not all hybrids are equally reliable. In our article, we will take a look at the 10 models with the weakest musicality – but it must be seen that even the weakest hybrid is more reliable than the most problem-free electric car, and that the differences are very small.
