The Top Hybrid Vehicles

Hybrid cars all have the same basic benefits and advantages. They get you tax breaks, better gas mileage and peace of mind. But not all hybrid cars are created equal…some truly are better than the rest. Here is the list of the top hybrid cars on the market, in no particular order:

Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid- The newest Chevy Malibu conventional model was one of the best in its class as far as looks go. Along with the many changes to the exterior, the interior and the fuel economy have also come a long way from the conventional model. The new hybrid model comes in at 32 miles per gallon on the highway, 24 in the city and is fairly priced at a starting $22,790 MSRP.

Honda Civic Hybrid- At a starting price of $22,600, the Honda Civic Hybrid gives you even more than what you pay for. Its sleek design covers up a top-of-the-line hybrid system that gets you 51 miles per gallon on the highway and 49 miles per gallon in the city.

Nissan Altima Hybrid- Nissan’s first hybrid comes in at a starting price of $25,070 MSRP and is giving the other hybrids on the market a run for their money. It has a highway rating of 35 miles per gallon and a city rating of 33 miles per gallon.

Mercury Mariner Hybrid-Even though the Mercury Mariner Hybrid is an SUV it still has a highway rating of 34 miles per gallon and a city rating of 30 miles per gallon, and comes it at a modest SUV starting price of $26,430 MSRP. Since Mercury has traditionally been seen as a higher class model, it’s time for every consumer to start hopping aboard and living the high and eco-friendly life.

Ford Escape Hybrid- Ford isn’t about to let Mercury and Chevrolet have the entire spotlight in the SUV Hybrid department. Ford’s Escape Hybrid costs a modest and competitive $25,470 MSRP and has a highway rating of 34 miles per gallon and 30 miles per gallon in the city. This hybrid SUV is the cheapest one currently on the market and worth a look if you’re into the environment and want to enjoy the backcountry without destroying it.

Toyota Prius- At 46 miles per gallon between the city and the highway, the Toyota Prius shows why it’s stayed at the top of the pack in hybrids and the overall car market for 10 years, since its first appearance. And at $20,950, the other hybrids will have to run to catch up.

Toyota Camry Hybrid- If you want a roomier car than the Toyota Prius, but you still want to get a hybrid, you can always turn to the Toyota Camry Hybrid. The Camry Hybrid gets 34 miles per gallon in the city and on the highway and at $18,720 it wouldn’t hurt to give the Camry a try.

Remember, while these may be some of the best hybrids on the market it’s up to you to decide which hybrid is best for you.
