Hybrid models are gaining traction in the market now that manufacturers are putting more green vehicles in their lineups. As a buyer in the market for a new vehicle, you may have found yourself wondering if you should consider one as your next new or used car. Keep reading to learn more about the top four reasons why a hybrid or plug-in hybrid vehicle could change the way you drive for the better.
Benefits of Choosing Hybrid
Eco-friendly
So what’s our first reason why you should purchase or lease a Toyota hybrid model? To better the environment. We all leave a footprint behind on the earth, but by replacing your gas-powered vehicle with a hybrid or plug-in model, your impact will be reduced. Many hybrid vehicles are producing estimates of over 40-50 MPGe, and there are many that boast zero emissions as well, meaning no fuel is burned to produce the energy needed to power it. Give the earth the breather it needs with a hybrid vehicle.
Wallet-pleaser
On the more pragmatic side, driving a Toyota hybrid will save you time and money spent at the gas pump. The innovative design and engineering that made that highly efficient engine will help you save on fuel as well. The bottom line is with the Toyota hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, you’ll be at the gas station far less than before.
Tax Incentives
Many find the upfront costs of a hybrid vehicle to be discouraging, but with qualifying federal tax credits and state incentives, that cost can be lowered dramatically. The U.S. Department of Energy understands the positive impact that hybrids have for the nation, so they assist consumers by incentivizing qualifying green vehicles with rebates and credits. Curious to see which incentives you would qualify for? Visit the Alternative Fuels Data Center and select your state.
Warranty
For some manufacturers, you’ll find that the standard warranties for hybrid or all-electric vehicles are better than the gas-powered models. For example, the 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid comes with a range of limited warranties that include a 10-year warranty on the battery. So you won’t have to worry about unexpected costs related to your battery for quite some time.
