What are the benefits of leasing a petrol hybrid car?

There are lots of benefits of driving a petrol hybrid car. The electric motor in the hybrid car helps reduce fuel consumption, leading to lower running costs. Hybrid cars emit fewer harmful gasses as compared to a conventional petrol car which helps benefit the environment. Hybrid cars also capture and reuse braking energy that would otherwise be lost. And finally, hybrid cars provide an excellent opportunity to experience some of the advantages of electric driving without having to go fully electric.

How does a hybrid car work?

Hybrid cars have an internal combustion engine like conventional cars do, but they're also fitted with a small battery pack. This battery works alongside the car's engine to help improve the car's fuel economy and performance.

What is the difference between petrol hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars?

The main difference between a petrol hybrid and a plug-in hybrid car is the size and role of the battery. A petrol hybrid car usually has a smaller battery pack as compared to a plug-in hybrid. A petrol hybrid is primarily powered by its engine, and it uses the battery only to help boost the car's efficiency. A plug-in hybrid, on the other hand, is designed to do longer distances on electric power, with the engine taking over once the battery is depleted. A petrol hybrid car's battery is charged using regenerative braking or its engine whereas a plug-in hybrid car, as the name suggests, needs to be plugged into a charging point.

Do I have to charge a petrol hybrid car?

The battery of a hybrid car is charged through regenerative braking and the internal combustion engine. You don't need to plug a hybrid car into a power source to recharge the battery.

You can lease a range of petrol hybrid cars on Auto Trader including the Toyota Prius which was one of the first hybrid cars to be sold in the market. From hatchbacks like the Peugeot 208 , SUVs like the Nissan Qashqai , and estates like the VW Golf – there's a hybrid available to lease for all lifestyles.
