These are the best hybrid cars under 15k according to survey, list taken upon considering Price, Reliability, mileage, maintenance cost, resale value and overall rating.

2016 Chevrolet Volt Plug in hybrid

• Engine: 1.5L 4 cylinder With 2 Electric motor
• HORSEPOWER: 149 hp @5,600  
• Range: 53 Miles electric
• CITY/HWY: 39 mpg/ 43 mpg gas
• 0-60 Miles: 7.8 sec

Average Price: $14,500 – $17,013

With an all-electric travel range of 53 miles, it stands out from the used hybrids below $15,000. And to be clear, if you need to go on, the Volt will act as a gasoline-powered hybrid. In that driving mode, the car will drive another 370 miles, and simultaneously reach 42 mpg combined.

This sort of output comes courtesy of a two-motor drive unit of the next generation that made its debut in the Volt 2016, which was rebuilt that year from the ground up. Including a handheld Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay, an 8-inch touchscreen, LED low-beam headlights, and a rearview camera, the Volt also acquired welcome standard equipment in 2016.

Pros	Cons
For a plug-in hybrid, the Volt’s all-electric range is formidable	Backseat is tight for adults
Fuel costs will be low or nothing at all	Power front seats are not available
Improved touchscreen interface with expanded functionality.

2017 Toyota Prius

• Engine: 1.8L 4 cylinder With 2 Electric motor
• HORSEPOWER: 121 hp @ 5200 rpm         
• CITY/HWY: 58 mpg/ 53 mpg
• 0-60 Miles: 9.8 sec
• Average Price: $14,800 – $16,913

The most prolific hybrid ever is still among the category’s best used-car sales. The Toyota Prius combines impressive fuel economy with traditional Toyota build quality and durability (2015 models were measured at 48 mpg combined). The sheer amount of “Prii” sold means that there should be lots to pick from on the market, and that normally equates to a decent price.

Pros	Cons
Cabin appearance	Lip on edge of cargo area
Driving manners	Modest acceleration
Gas mileage	Hard trim pieces in a few areas
Hatchback versatility	Unpleasant engine sound

2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE

• Engine: 2.0L 4 cylinder With Electric motor
• HORSEPOWER: 188 hp @ 6000 rpm         
• CITY/HWY: 43 mpg/ 41 mpg
• 0-60 Miles: 9.0 sec
• Average Price: $13,500 – $16,013

The 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid is available in four trim levels: S, SE. Both models have the same 188-horsepower hybrid powertrain and front-wheel drive. The entry-level S and SE trim is a decent pick for buyers on a tight budget under $15000 us dollars. In terms of overall ford hybrid features, it’s an upscale and roomy interior, refined handling, good safety scores, and low projected ownership costs.

Pros	Cons
Fuel efficient engines	Less efficient than many rivals
Good crash safety scores	Cargo capacity is low for the segment
Roomy interior

2015 Honda Civic Hybrid

• Engine: 1.5L 4 cylinder With Electric motor
• HORSEPOWER: 110 hp @ 5500 rpm         
• CITY/HWY: 44 mpg/ 47 mpg
• 0-60 Miles: 11.23sec
• Average Price: $9,929 – $13,013

The Civic Hybrid has the same look as the 2015 Civic sedan, but with a high-tech powertrain that is rated for 43 mpg city/45 mpg highway/44 mpg combined fuel-efficiency ratings.

With some unforeseen norm characteristics, the Civic Hybrid builds on that value. Honda, for instance, goes beyond the traditional rearview camera to include standard warning for forward collision and lane-departure warning. The monitor of the car then relies on a generously sized 7-inch touchscreen that in the Ford C-Max is 67 percent larger than the comparable panel.

Cars Care: Best Used Hybrid Suv Under 20000

2017 Ford C-Max hybrid

• Engine: 2.0L 4 cylinder With  Electric motor
• HORSEPOWER: 188 hp @ 6000 rpm
• Range: 21 Miles electric
• CITY/HWY: 42 mpg/ 38 mpg
• 0-60 Miles: 7.9 sec
• Average Price: $11,500 – $14,013

Used hybrids under $15,000 will have a decent amount of utility as well. Consider the Ford C-Max 2017. Though it is about five inches shorter in length than the Toyota Prius, with almost as much cargo space, the C-Max has a crossover-style shape. To be precise, behind the rear seats, the C-Max has 24.5 cubic feet of volume, and 52.6 cubic feet in total. That’s even better than the EcoSport, Ford’s newer, non-hybrid compact SUV.

A primary benefit of a hybrid is its fuel economy, and the C-Max shows its stuff here with EPA grades of 42 mpg city/38 mpg highway/40 mpg combined.

Pros	Cons
still a reasonable and affordable plug-in alternative	: Fuel economy not as good as expected
Stylish and well-made interior	Cargo space and second row limitations
Refined handling and ride dynamics	Firmer ride than some rivals

2016 Kia Optima Hybrid

• Engine: 2.4L cylinder With Electric motor
• HORSEPOWER: 192 hp @ 6000 rpm
• CITY/HWY: 35 mpg/ 38 mpg
• 0-60 Miles: 8.7sec
• Average Price: 13,000 – 16,000

The 2016 Kia Optima Hybrid is arguably one of the most elegant hybrids used for under $15,000,

It looks like a sleek sports car, built into the aero-style front bumper right down to the functional cooling vents. Its share of upscale information is also borne by the Optima Hybrid. A leather-wrapped steering wheel, push-button ignition, automatic dual-zone climate control, and a cooling glove box are all standard in the cockpit.

The downside here is that the most effective entry in its class is not the Optima Hybrid. Indeed, in some EPA testing, it is the only mid-size hybrid here that does not break 40 mpg. Yet the Optima Hybrid boosts the regular model by 11 mpg city/4 mpg highway/9 mpg combined with fuel economy marks of 35 mpg city/38 mpg highway/37 mpg combined.

Pros	Cons
Good Noise Insulation from Outside	Average MPG Figures
Stylish Exteriors and Interiors	No AWD even as an option
Generous Cargo Capacity	Handling feels devoid of character
Plenty of Standard Safety Tech on-board
Good Noise Insulation from Outside
