Pakistan is rapidly embracing electric, eco-friendly vehicle options. Every month, a new car is being launched in Pakistan, and plug-in hybrid options are at the forefront.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are different from regular hybrid cars. PHEVs can be charged externally and also include a gasoline engine. By combining both electric and fuel, these vehicles provide excellent fuel efficiency both in the city and on long journeys.
The most notable feature of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles is their cost efficiency and dual power options. Because they combine electric batteries and an engine, fuel costs are reduced, and the combined power of the engine + motor makes them super fast.
In recent days, some companies in Pakistan have introduced their PHEVs, including 2 SUVs and 1 pickup truck, which could prove to be the best plug-in hybrid electric vehicle options for citizens.
Here are the top 3 best plug-in hybrid cars in Pakistan in 2025:
