The Top Honda Hybrid Models Available
Hybrid vehicles are becoming more and more popular. They use two engines (a small internal combustion engine mixed with an electric motor) to reduce emissions and increase gas mileage. These cars produce an electric current and stockpile it in a large battery. The battery stores energy during braking, which is why you don’t need to plug the car in like you do with a 100 percent electric car. The current accumulated in the battery acts as a generator.
Honda offers some of the top hybrid models on the market today.
The Honda CR-Z
The Honda CR-Z provides three levels of driving efficiency. Sport Mode facilitates an exciting and powerful drive, ECON Mode maximizes fuel efficiency, and Normal Mode is a balance of the two. This is definitely a car of convenience, with a push-button start and an electronic parking brake that automatically releases the brake if you don’t. If you prefer to work hard before you play hard, the HondaLink system keeps you on task by enabling you to plug in your smartphone to the touchscreen. You can listen to the news or music, call and make appointments, hear preprogrammed reminders, and much more.
The Honda Accord Hybrid
The efficient Honda Accord Hybrid uses three driving modes to maximize highway mileage at 50 mpg. Engine Drive, fueled solely by Earth Dreams Technology, kicks in while cruising on the highway. Hybrid Drive optimizes acceleration by combining the 2.0-liter engine and the electric motor to give you the true hybrid experience. EV Drive is an all-electric option normally used during stopping and starting. The Accord Hybrid also boasts three very handy safety features: Honda Lane Watch, which helps to prevent blind spots; Forward Collision Warning; and Lane Departure Warning.
The Honda Insight
The Honda Insight is seriously loaded with technology. The CVT engine is like an automatic, but it adjusts constantly to increase fuel economy and expedite acceleration. Eco Assist helps drivers to get the most economical road experience, while the ECON button on the dash is like an eco booster. Once you push it, the speedometer calculates how efficiently you are driving, especially when braking and accelerating. A 1.3-liter i-VTEC Engine partners with the IMA electric motor to give this car its hybrid status.
One of the greatest features of the Insight is the battery pack under the rear seats. It’s like having a generator on wheels. In addition, the EX model features shifters on the steering wheel, which gives drivers the option to shift manually.
If you like the idea of helping out the environment by decreasing air pollution, reliance on oil, and greenhouse gas emissions, and you’d like to save come cash at the pump, buying a Honda Hybrid vehicle is a good option for you. The CR-Z brings you a coupé with a sporty flare, the Insight provides a way to haul but still own a compact car, and the Accord delivers high gas mileage as well as ample leg room. The choice is yours.
