Hybrid Cars For Sale
In terms of smart investments, it’s hard to beat getting behind the wheel of a hybrid vehicle. If gas prices worry you (and we feel safe in assuming they are!), then a hybrid will reduce some of your unnecessary stress. On the flip side, if you are intrigued by the electric revolution but not yet certain you want to make the leap, the hybrid will let you have the best of both worlds as it lets you use a mix of gas and electric power. That’s why you should do yourself a favor and check out hybrid cars for sale when looking for your next vehicle.
We here at DriveHubler Certified Pre-Owned have made so many of our customers happy by introducing them to a hybrid vehicle. Some folks arrive without a hybrid on their mind as an option, but they tend to be won over quickly once they see the benefits of such a vehicle. We carry many brands of hybrids, too, so you can still pick a vehicle that fits your taste in addition to helping your wallet.
While a hybrid might sound like it’s only a singular type of vehicle, this is not at all the case: not only do hybrids vary in appearance, but they also vary in how much electricity they use. If you’re already a hybrid enthusiast, you already know why they have gained such acclaim. If you’re someone new to the hybrid world, we have your back. Our friendly and knowledgeable team will gladly show you why a hybrid will make your driving life simpler.
What Is A Hybrid?
There are far too many misunderstandings about what a hybrid vehicle can be, so we want to clear the situation up for you. The last thing we’d want is for you to make a decision about your vehicle without the correct information. So, let’s chat about what a hybrid is so that you can become an expert on these automobiles. It’s worth noting that a plug-in hybrid operates a little differently, so we will discuss that separately below.
Hybrids arrive with high-voltage battery packs that gain energy through what are called regenerative braking systems. Basically, these systems use the energy created when your car brakes to recharge the battery. Often, the engine will be powered by both the battery and gas. However, most hybrids can enter a gas or electric mode if you prefer to rely on one or the other during a trip. Usually, the electric mode comes into play at lower speeds, but that’s not always true; some electric modes are incredibly powerful and can have you roaring down the highway.
Since most of the time, the engine consumes a mix of fuel and electric power; your hybrid will be fuel efficient, benefitting both you and the environment at large. If you’re tired of fluctuating gas prices, one of our hybrids will make certain that you visit the pump less often. You’ll also be able to travel knowing that your hybrid is a lot more environmentally friendly than your last ride. There's no question about it; there’s a lot to love when it comes to hybrid vehicles.
How Does A Plug-In Hybrid Differ From A Traditional Hybrid?
We love plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) as well. They’re a perfect solution for anyone who really wants an electric vehicle but feels like there are perhaps not enough charging stations along their commute. Or maybe you want to take some cross-country trips across the Midwest. Will there be charging stations available as often as you need? You might not know. Well, fear not. Owning a PHEV can solve this issue.
With a plug-in hybrid, you charge your electric motor by plugging it into a charging station or an outlet at home. However, should you run out of charge while driving, the car can switch over to gas so that you don’t have to fret about the location of the nearest charging station. The PHEV comes with a much larger battery than the one in the average hybrid, so you’ll be able to venture further before requiring a charge than you can in a regular hybrid. We know what you’re wondering about, though: does performance suffer? Absolutely not. In fact, PHEVs now often have better performance numbers than their gas-guzzling siblings. You are not sacrificing anything by purchasing a PHEV. Rather, you’re making a long-term investment that shows you’re more on the ball than your fellow drivers.
We Offer A Great Selection Of Hybrid Vehicles
Now that you see how buying a hybrid or PHEV is a smart decision, you’re no doubt wondering where the best place to purchase one is. The answer is DriveHubler Certified Pre-Owned. We’ve been selling used cars via our pre-owned dealership to Indiana drivers since 2016, and the family-owned Hubler Automotive Group we’re part of has been in the automobile industry since 1962. We know everything there is to know about cars, and we can put you in the perfect used option.
We always make sure to have vehicles from a slew of manufacturers. We’ve provided customers with gorgeous PHEV SUVs like the Ford Escape and the Hyundai Santa Fe. Both of these are fantastic vehicles that can go toe to toe with any other SUV from the model’s year. Manufacturers know that performance matters, and they’ve made certain hybrids do not lag. But if you’re in the mood for a sportier yet luxurious sedan, you’re still in luck. Going hybrid doesn’t mean you have to forego comfort. The Lexus ES300h will have everyone looking at you with jealousy as you drive down the road; it will also guarantee you astonishing fuel efficiency. Recent models have come in with fuel economy ratings well above 40 miles.
Hybrids and PHEVs have only grown in popularity over the past decade, and manufacturers have worked overtime to meet the market’s demands. That means you can find makes and models that are hybrid from almost all manufacturers. If you’re smart, you’ll check out our used models because you’ll be able to buy a vehicle that’s still in great shape, many even "Q-certified," which come with an array of warranties and other benefits. Thanks to innovation in the industry, cars are now made stronger and last far longer, so a used purchase can still net you a car that’ll last a long time. No matter the make and manufacturer you’re interested in, we promise to work overtime to make you the most satisfied hybrid driver possible.
