best hybrid car

• Users are discussing their personal experiences with what is considered the best car on the market right now, and those that are coming out in the next year or two.
• A user who owns a Model Y and a Prius Prime suggests these two cars are the best all-around EVs as per their experience.
• Another user suggests the EQS as it has a beautiful and spectacular interior, while another user disagrees and suggests that the Polestar 1 is the best PHEV with 619 HP and 52 miles of EV range.
• Other PHEVs that are being discussed include the BMW X5 E, the Audi A7 TFSI e, Lexus NX 450H PHEV, and the Toyota RAV-4 Prime as the one to go for, which the poster is in love with.
• Other users agree with the RAV-4 Prime suggestion, saying it’s the sweet spot for a PHEV with functionality and looks, but the Prime’s interior can be dull.
• The Pacifica was also suggested to be the most useful PHEV in its class.
• Users also discuss what to look for in a hybrid or PHEV car beside the best range or performance, like having a cool interior design or being fun to drive.
• Some users suggest waiting until a good deal on a used PHEV arises while waiting for future BEV models.
• The thread agrees that the hybrid or EV to go for is very dependent on each user’s needs.
• Some users provide suggestions on cars that are dropping in the next year or two, such as the VW ID8, a non-deluxe version of the Lucid Air Dream, or the rumored Ford Explorer EV.
• Users of the subreddit recognize the limitations of the current EV market, and that it’s expected to improve radically in the next few years, with better models and improved technology for the charging infrastructure.
• The thread agrees that while the current EV technology is developing at an incremental but leisurely pace, the hybrid choices are much more flexible, and many appealing PHEVs are available like the Prime or the Pacifica that give the user the best of both worlds for a limited period until they are ready to adapt.

• The post discusses the decision to buy a hybrid car instead of a gas-only car based on factors such as gas mileage, reliability, and budget.
• The poster currently owns a 2009 Toyota Matrix with poor gas mileage and is considering a Honda Accord Hybrid, Hyundai Elantra Hybrid, Sonata Hybrid, or Toyota Camry SE as potential replacements.
• Availability of hybrid cars is limited in Canada due to the pandemic and chip shortage, making it difficult to find new options.
• Some Reddit users recommend Toyota hybrids, as they are considered reliable and share the same technology as the Prius.
  • (3 karma) Toyota hybrids share the same time-tested technology used in the Prius. These cars can easily go 300K miles or more without major repairs.
• Others argue that hybrid cars are overpriced and suggest getting a gas-only car with high gas mileage instead.
  • (2 karma) The Mazda3 is a great car with good fuel economy. The poster should do the math to see if getting a hybrid is worth the higher cost vs. fuel savings.
  • (1 karma) The poster’s friend suggests getting a gas-only family sedan like a Camry SE or Honda Accord instead of a hybrid. These cars get better gas mileage than the poster’s Matrix and are more affordable and widely available than hybrids.
  • (1 karma) One user would never get a hybrid due to the additional maintenance costs and would recommend a used gasoline car or a full electric car instead.
• Some users note that hybrids have fewer moving parts and lower maintenance costs than gas-only cars and can often go hundreds of thousands of miles without major repairs.
  • (2 karma) Hybrids take away a number of internal combustion engine (ICE) parts that can fail over time, such as the starter, alternator, timing belt, and various pumps, and also reduce strain on others such as the transmission and brake pads.
  • (1 karma) Hybrids have less maintenance costs than conventional gasoline vehicles, and the engine rarely has to work hard or accelerate hard since it is always assisted by the hybrid battery and electric motors. This results in less strain on the engine and greater reliability in the long run.
• Other users recommend looking into PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) as an alternative to traditional hybrids, as they have only one drivetrain and can typically be driven in all-electric mode for shorter distances.
  • (1 karma) Personally, this user would only consider a PHEV over a traditional hybrid due to the
