Why You Should Consider a Hybrid

With so many different vehicles on the road today, it can be difficult to know what model is right for you. One of the most fuel-efficient options available is a hybrid vehicle with a gas engine and an electric motor. Keep reading to find out why you should consider a hybrid for your next vehicle.

Efficient and Environmentally Friendly

Gas prices have been low recently, but they could rise at any time. With a hybrid, fuel prices don’t impact your budget as much as they do with a gasoline vehicle. It also helps the environment by reducing carbon dioxide and particulates in the air caused by using fossil fuels. You won’t need to refill your fuel tank as often, and you’ll get many of the advantages of an electric vehicle without the inconvenience of a long charging time.

Comfortable and Quiet

Hybrids are just as comfortable and fun to drive as traditional gasoline vehicles. You can enjoy luxurious seats, great speakers, infotainment systems, excellent safety and driver assistance features, and more. Advanced battery technology and engine design means there’s plenty of room for cargo and passengers. Electric engines are much quieter than gasoline engines, making for a quiet ride.

Variety of Available Options 

The 2020 Hyundai Sonata hybrid sedan has a sleek, sporty look, a sculpted hood, and a prominent grille. You can choose Blue, SEL, or Limited trim levels, and the gas and electric engines produce 192 horsepower combined.  The Sonata hybrid can get 50 mpg in the city and 54 mpg on the highway. The 2019 Sonata plug-in hybrid has a 600-mile range, and it generates 202 horsepower with the gas and electric engines. It gets 99 MPGe, which is equivalent to the mpg for vehicles that use alternative fuels.

The 2020 Ioniq hatchback is the most efficient hybrid available in the United States. Blue, SE, SEL, and Limited trims are available, and the gas and electric engines make 139 horsepower combined. The Ioniq can get 57 mpg in traffic and 59 mpg on the open road. With the plug-in hybrid, you can go up to 630 miles without refilling your gas tank, and you’ll get 119 MPGe.

Government Incentives 

Hybrids and plug-in hybrids are more expensive than gas vehicles, but lower fuel costs compensate for the difference. If you buy a new car, you can also qualify for a federal tax credit to help you cover some of the initial costs. You’ll need to file your taxes to get the money, and the credit amount will depend on your income, the model you choose, and your state. In many cities, people driving hybrids and plug-in hybrids can use the carpool lane to get to and from work faster as well.
