If you're looking to save at the gas pump, you have three options. You can get a fuel-efficient vehicle with a smaller traditional gas engine, you could go all-electric with an EV, or you can go hybrid. All are great options, and a hybrid vehicle will typically offer even greater MPGs than even the most efficient traditional gasoline powered vehicles. Two types of hybrid vehicles exist in the market today Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV). Both HEV and PHEV are powered by a gasoline engine and one or more electric motors. PHEVs typically have larger batteries than HEVs and as the name suggests, PHEVs can be plugged in to charge. At Hertz Car Sales, we offer a big selection of popular hybrid vehicles to choose from. Learn more about MPG performance of some of our favorites below.
Honda AccordThe Honda Accord is a popular roomy mid-sized sedan with modern, sleek styling and advanced safety features. Its non-plug in HEV variant gets an impressive estimated 43-47 combined city/highway MPG depending on the model. Compare that with the non-hybrid Accord models which can get an estimated 32-38 MPG combined. The Accord Hybrid comes in several trim levels so you can be sure to find a model with the features you are looking for.
Toyota PriusThe Toyota Prius has long been a leader in the hybrid vehicle market with an impressive 49-56 estimated combined MPGs, depending on the model. The Prius really shines in city driving, with its smaller footprint getting an estimated 51-58 MPGs. The Toyota Prius is an excellent option if you're looking to significantly trim your fuel budget without the need to plug-in. And with an estimated 588 miles of range, you won’t be stopping at the gas pump very often on road trips either.
Chrysler PacificaIf you're looking for something bigger, the Chrysler Pacifica PHEV, which seats up to seven passengers, allows you to go about 32 miles of all-electric driving and up to 520 miles of total driving range. Despite its large size, the Pacifica can get about 30 MPG combined when running on gas. The Pacifica PHEV is compatible with both a Level 1 and Level 2 charger and can recharge in as little as two hours using a level 2 charger.
