Types of used hybrid cars
Unlike electric cars, hybrids come in various forms, and it can be important to choose the right one that suits your needs and expectations.
Mild Hybrids
Seen as the entry point to hybrid vehicles, Mild Hybrids aren’t too different to conventional cars, and you will typically see them labelled as MHEVs.
Typically fitted with a small electric motor and battery combo, mild hybrids are set up to give additional assistance to the internal combustion engine to reduce emissions and fuel consumption during fuel-intensive tasks such as acceleration.
Though you won’t be able to get any electric-only mileage out of a mild hybrid, they are capable of storing energy during braking, and then being able to use it later down the line to further aid their efficiency.
Popular cars that feature a mild hybrid setup include: Suzuki Swift; Hyundai Tucson; Kia Sportage; Fiat 500; and the Ford Puma.
Full Hybrids
Otherwise known as self-charging hybrids or HEVs, Full Hybrids offer even more assistance to the car’s engine thanks to their bigger motors and batteries.
Full hybrids do not need to be charged, as they are self-charged by the car’s engine and offer big boosts to fuel economy and efficiency - additionally, full hybrids can run on electric-only power for a determined amount of miles.
You’ll also be able to take advantage of regenerative braking, which helps store energy for later use.
Popular cars that feature a full hybrid setup include: Honda HR-V; Toyota Yaris & C-HR; Nissan Qashqai; and the Dacia Jogger.
Plug-In Hybrids
At the peak of hybrid vehicles sits the Plug-In Hybrids - or PHEVs - graced with even bigger motors and batteries than full hybrids, PHEVs offer large improvements in fuel economy and efficiency.
With their bigger batteries, PHEVs do require charging, but the benefits pay off as they allow for many miles of electric-only driving.
A PHEV is typically seen as a perfect vehicle for those curious about full EVs but aren’t sure about switching just yet, and a PHEV can offer the best of both worlds.
Popular cars that feature a plug-in hybrid setup include: Kia Sportage; Ford Kuga; Lexus NX; CUPRA Leon; and the Honda CR-V.
