5 best hybrid cars

The world around us is changing rapidly - which could hardly be imagined 10 years ago, today it is the usual reality of life. Hybrid cars are not yet as perfect as in science fiction films, but they are already commercially available and can be purchased in regular stores. Being a transitional link between petrol cars and electric cars, very soon this type of car can push out from the market models having only petrol engines as a power plant. Hybrid cars have a number of advantages:

• Reduction of harmful emissions into the atmosphere;
• Fuel economy and a dramatic increase in mileage on one refueling;
• Excellent running performance, achieved by the redistribution of power of two power plants.

Also worth noting is the design of all hybrid models, which subtly hints that cars were ahead of their time. This fact suggests that (at least in our country) such a car often acts not only as a means of transportation, but, even more so, as an image thing, emphasizing the creativity of its owner, his direct relation to the future.

In some countries, owners of hybrid cars are entitled to tax breaks for caring for the environment, which is the reason for the serious growth of the market for such cars. In Russia, preferences are not provided for, and the tax on cars is calculated in the same way as for ordinary cars. In addition, not all service stations are ready (the necessary knowledge of specialists is lacking) to serve cars of this category - and this problem grows exponentially with distance from large urban agglomerations. Despite all these shortcomings, the demand for hybrids in our country continues to grow steadily. Choosing from all the offers on the market the best models of hybrid cars for the preparation of a review rating, we took into account the popularity, technical characteristics and operating experience of the owners.

Best hybrid cars - TOP 5

5 Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid

The recognizable and popular brand could not stand aside from progress, creating the most comfortable hybrid. The car boasts a three-chamber air suspension, diode headlights with a matrix light beam (illuminate the road for distances up to 600 meters and do not blind oncoming cars), a ceramic braking system and rich electronic content, including a night vision system and intelligent driver support service.

Measurements showed fuel consumption in the combined cycle at 8.1 liters / 100km. The car can accelerate to 278 km / h and has a cruising range of almost 1000 km. As for the cabin, its level is fully consistent with the brand of car and can be described with just one word - chic.

4 BMW i8

This hybrid car accelerates to a hundred in just 4.4 seconds and can continue to pick up speed to 250 km / h. But the main surprise is its fuel consumption - it is only 2.5 l / 100km. Considering the cost, it’s not at all convenient to talk about fuel economy - there is every reason to consider this work of art a “status” car that can add new features to the image of a successful person.

A sports car is a symbiosis of everything perfect and expensive - trim, its intellectual filling, comfortable ventilated seats with massage chair functionality - there is no sense in listing the entire list of many features of this unique car.High reliability of power plants and electrical equipment is guaranteed by the manufacturer for 5 years, which is the best indicator of reliability for hybrid cars.

3 Audi A6 Hybrid

Familiar with the Russian motorist Audi A6, with a hybrid power plant turned into a completely different car. The differences start to amaze when you start the engine - there is no traditional quiet "rumbling" from the side of the hood and the movement begins in almost complete silence. The car is very dynamic, and making overtaking on it is not just a pleasure, but a real fantasy! The total torque of a gasoline engine with a turbine and an electric motor in Boost mode is an incredible 1040 N * m. and acceleration of the car to a hundred takes just 7.3 seconds.

To the outstanding features of the hybrid should be added a comfortable lounge, intelligent driver support systems and full compliance with newfangled trends in protecting the environment from pollution.

2 Lexus NX 300h

The all-wheel drive hybrid, thanks to the E-FOUR system that controls axle torques, is the most stable car of this type and easily copes with driving on rough terrain. If necessary, it can move exclusively on electric, but rather slowly and only for a short time (for now). In other cases, artificial intelligence independently maneuvers power plants, providing not only excellent handling, but also an enviable efficiency for similar gasoline models.

Particularly noteworthy is the exterior of the car - LED three-lens headlights and taillights perfectly complement the modern contours of the car. The salon provides a sufficient level of comfort corresponding to the level of this brand. Particularly pleased with the modern electronic filling.

1 Toyota Prius

Of all the hybrid cars that are sold in our country, the Toyota Prius has the most affordable price. Electrical installation has allowed to reduce fuel consumption - in urban mode per 100 km. a little less than 4 liters of gasoline is enough, and consumption on the highway will be only 3.7 liters.

If necessary, the car can continue to move exclusively on the electric. The presence of modern developments guarantees the pleasure of exploitation. The model has long got rid of various "bugs", inaccuracies and minor flaws, becoming the most reliable hybrid cars.
