5 Reasons to Invest in a Honda Hybrid
Need yet another reason to invest in a Honda Hybrid? There are plenty to choose from! Whether you are concerned about the environment or your own personal bank account, you will find that Honda hybrids offer a wealth of benefits.
Save the Environment
It is hard to go a day without hearing some negative news or experiencing your own ill-effects from environmental pollution. Why not do your part to fix the problem? The Honda hybrid line is more environmentally friendly than others, offering zero-emission vehicles. That’s right — zero emissions. Honda fuel cell electric vehicles run on hydrogen gas, so the only thing that comes out of the tailpipe is water.
Easier to Use
Misconceptions about hybrid refueling are floating around out there like dangerous free radicals. One misconception is that fuel cell vehicles are difficult to fill. That could not be farther from the truth. The Clarity Fuel Cell vehicle from Honda refills just like a gas vehicle. Just hook the refueling hose to the intake pump. Hybrid electric vehicles are just as easy to recharge. All you do is plug the vehicle in to the charger.
Stylish and Fun
Honda hybrids are fun and sporty, as well as stylish. Take a look at the new Clarity Fuel Cell from Honda. This sedan stands out from the crowd with sleek, dynamic lines and an overall exterior design that begs to be appreciated.
Super-sleek styling is just half the reason to own a Honda Hybrid. These cars are also fun to drive. Take the new CR-Z Hybrid. This car has an interior that is really impressive. Highly modernized, it offers an updated dashboard, touchscreen display, and (in EX-L models) integrated satellite-linked navigation. The Clarity offers a modern, highly efficient lithium-ion battery pack for even more power and fun!
Gas Savings
Honda hybrids are extremely efficient, allowing you to save lots of money you would otherwise throw away on gas. The CR-Z gets up to an estimated 36 mpg in the city and up to 38 mpg on the highway — and that’s not even the best gas mileage Honda has to offer. The Honda Civic Hybrid gets an amazing estimated 47 mpg on the highway and 44 mpg in the city. The Honda Accord gets an estimated 50 mpg in the city and an estimated 45 mpg on the highway. There are still better values with Honda hybrids. The FCX Clarity Fuel Cell gets an eye-popping estimated 61 mpg.

Price
Thinking these vehicles must be over-priced? Simply untrue. These hybrid vehicles are comparable in price to traditional gas engine cars, and some are much less. The 2014 Insight Hybrid Base model starts at around $18,725. The 2015 Honda Civic Hybrid base model starts at a suggested $24,735. Compare that to other vehicles with much lower mpg estimates, and its clear that if you want to save money, have fun, and experience the future of driving, you should choose a Honda hybrid vehicle.
