2007 Hybrid Cars

January 12th, 2009

Electric hybrid cars are positioning themselves along the auto industry’s forefront lately following Toyota’s release of its own first model last 2001 with Prius. As in all cars, the concept of electric hybrid cars is still the same. The difference, however, lies in its engine design, and the best part of it all is that car manufacturers around are bent on continually developing and improving the own lines of hybrid cars to be able to compete in the steep market. Thus, auto aficionados are guaranteed of innovative designs and quality performance. Let’s take a look at some of these hybrid cars out for the year.

Toyota Prius

The 2007 hybrid car from Toyota remains to be the most reliable and most fuel efficient in the industry. For a little over $1 of gas, this vehicle can manage just about 25 miles; now that is economy. Not new to the market, the Prius has been promoting change in the automobile industry since it first appeared in 2001. It’s a mid-sized car that can be well mistaken for a compact and it has the smallest tank for its class and makes sure it doesn’t waste even a smidgen of fuel.

Saturn Aura Hybrid Car

For an ordinary-looking mold such as a sedan, the Saturn hybrid car is really quite the head-turner. However, a quick look under the hood would tell you that this beauty tells another story. Though it may look good for the year 2007, the Saturn may just as well be listed among the worst performing hybrids in its class for the year. As a mid-size car that laps up as much as 16 gallons of gas, its engine seems more like a thirsty Safari animal rather than a cost- and fuel-efficient hybrid car.

The Nissan Altima Hybrid

Fuel economy can be a tricky thing and Nissan seems to know its customers quite well in this field. Although the 2007 model does mean that you would have to spend about $1200 a year on fuel, the 2007 hybrid does manage to do 702 miles on a full tank. It seems that it outweighs its competition in Toyota but the trick that Nissan has up their sleeve is that the Altima has a larger tank that holds 20 gallons of fuel. For the very careful, it may not be a wise purchase but for those who don’t intend on making too many stops that the gas station every now and then, this may be a great hybrid option to begin with.

2007 Honda Civic Hybrid

This 2007 hybrid car is probably the closest when it comes to beating out the competition in Toyota. The Honda Civic was known as a bestselling gas-car, and it seems that it can prove its own worth as a hybrid as well. With a slightly larger tank than the Prius, the Civic can do 554 miles on a full tank which is quite an improvement from the last model but theres still room for improvement. Otherwise, once Prius stocks run low, this would be the next best thing on the market.
