GreenCars Matchmaker

Find the vehicle that fits your life

Answer a few questions about your driving needs, budget, and preferences to get personalized vehicle matches.

What is the GreenCars Matchmaker?

The GreenCars Matchmaker is a free quiz that turns how you actually drive into a short list of electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid vehicles worth a look. It reads your answers against every current model in the GreenCars Buyers Guide and returns up to five matches, along with a short profile of what it heard in your answers.

How the Matchmaker works

  1. 1

    Answer a few quick questions about your typical week, how far you drive, the roads and weather you deal with, your budget, and how ready you are to leave gas behind.

  2. 2

    We compare your answers with every current electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid model in the GreenCars Buyers Guide, filtering first and then ranking by what you said matters most.

  3. 3

    Enter your name, email and ZIP code to see up to five matches, ranked by fit, plus a short profile of what we heard and, where we have a model page, a link to its specs, range and pricing.

What you’ll get and what we’ll ask

Up to five vehicles matched to your answers, ranked by fit, a short profile of what we heard in your answers and, where we have a model page, a link to it in the Buyers Guide so you can compare specs, range, price and GreenCars score.

To show your results we ask for your first and last name, email address and ZIP code; a phone number is optional. Submitting the form saves your results and subscribes you to the GreenCars newsletter, which you can leave at any time. Our privacy policy explains how we handle your details.

Frequently asked questions

Is the GreenCars Matchmaker free?

Yes. The Matchmaker is free to use, there is nothing to buy, and you can take it as many times as you like.

Do I have to give my email address to see my matches?

Yes. Your matches appear once you enter your name, email address and ZIP code; a phone number is optional. Submitting saves your results and subscribes you to the GreenCars newsletter, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

How long does the Matchmaker take?

About two minutes. There are only a few questions, each with a handful of answers to pick from, and the matching itself takes a few seconds.

Which vehicles can the Matchmaker recommend?

Every current electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid model in the GreenCars Buyers Guide, across every brand we track. The Matchmaker filters that whole set by your answers rather than starting from a single make.

Can I retake the Matchmaker?

Yes. Use Back to change an answer while you are in the quiz, or choose Try again on your results page for a fresh set of matches, as often as you like.
