Does Chevrolet have hybrid cars?

My family is looking into getting a more eco-conscious vehicle. We love our Tahoe and the Chevy mechanic who services it, so we’d love to stick with a Chevrolet. Does Chevrolet offer any hybrid cars?

Chevrolet
made hybrid cars until 2021, so your only option now is to buy used.
Due to waning popularity and increased demand for all-electric vehicles, Chevrolet discontinued all of its hybrid models by 2021. But for a while, hybrid Chevys were all the rage, including a hybrid version of the popular Chevy Tahoe.
Here are the Chevy hybrids you can still find in the used car market:
Here’s a table to help you compare the specs on Chevy hybrid models:

In addition to regular hybrid models, Chevrolet set the standard for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in 2011 with the introduction of the Volt: the first commercially available PHEV in the US.
Praised for its best-in-class EV-only range (53 miles) and peppy acceleration, Car and Driver declared the 2019 Volt not just an excellent PHEV, but an excellent car.
About price: The starting MSRP for a 2019 Chevrolet Malibu hybrid was $25,692. Edmunds calculates the five-year cost of ownership as $34,667 (including fuel, insurance, taxes, maintenance, repairs, etc.).
In comparison, the five-year cost to own a gas-powered 2019 Malibu is $37,166—with a starting price of around $24,000.
But even with the slightly higher MSRP for a hybrid, you’ll still be saving several thousand dollars over five years of ownership—primarily in fuel costs.
For SUV lovers: If you want a Chevy hybrid SUV immediately, try looking for a used 2008-2012 Chevy Tahoe hybrid. Future EV SUV options from Chevy include the soon-to-be-released Chevy electric SUVs (Equinox EV, Blazer EV, and Silverado EV) which will drop in 2023 or 2024.
