With two great hybrid options to choose from in the Honda lineup, deciding which one best suits your needs and lifestyle can be tough. The Accord Hybrid delivers a driving experience similar to that of a traditional sedan, only with the added efficiency of a third-generation two-motor hybrid powertrain. Drivers searching for the versatility of an SUV should opt for the CR-V Hybrid which delivers smooth, seamless electric power delivery without any range anxiety thanks to an assist from a gasoline engine.
Regardless of the Honda hybrid vehicle you choose, you’ll enjoy several benefits that make every drive more rewarding. Listed below are just a few great reasons to consider driving a Honda hybrid vehicle.
Perhaps the most obvious and well-known advantage of driving a hybrid is the opportunity to spend less at the pump. Since these vehicles require less gas, especially around-town and in the city, you’ll experience significant savings compared to a traditional gasoline-powered vehicle.
Your wallet isn’t the only thing that benefits from driving a hybrid. Hybrids also help the environment since they don’t produce nearly as many carbon emissions as a gasoline-only vehicle. As hybrids continue to grow in popularity, they help improve the quality of the air around us.
As hybrid vehicles have grown tremendously in popularity in recent years, buyers across the country continue to make the switch. Compared to a conventional model, often times the hybrid variant holds its value much better — resulting in a rewarding ownership experience.
Honda East Cincinnati invites you to come experience the sharp style, impressive efficiency, and smooth yet responsive power delivery found on Honda hybrid models in order to help determine which model suits you best.
