The increasing trend of using bio-based fibre, also known as natural fibre, provides many benefits for long-term environmental preservation. In the biocomposites group, green composites are a specific class whereby the bio-based polymer is reinforced with natural fibre. The current review deals with the advance of green materials in hybrid composites for automotive applications. The variation of green materials such as natural fibres is developed to be used as hybrid green materials as reinforcing materials in composites. There are many works done by another researcher that showed the improvement of utilizing the green materials of composites. The application and challenges of having green materials in composites for automotive applications are also presented.
