Frequently asked questions
Are hybrids worth the higher price?
If you drive 12,000+ miles per year, the fuel savings from a hybrid typically recover the price premium in 3-5 years. After that, the hybrid is pure savings.
Which hybrid has the best MPG?
The Toyota Prius and Hyundai Elantra Hybrid top the chart at 54-57 combined MPG. The Camry Hybrid and Civic Hybrid follow at 48-52 MPG.
Do hybrids need to be plugged in?
Standard hybrids do not — they recharge their battery automatically. Plug-in hybrids (like the RAV4 Prime and Prius Prime) can be plugged in for 30-44 miles of all-electric range.
