The auto industry has seen the emergence of different technologies on hybrid electric cars following Toyota's release of its first model, Prius, in 2001. Of course, the concept of hybrid cars is still the same as in all cars. The difference lies in the engine designs. Reviews has it that the 2007 hybrid cars are now more auto technologically-advanced than any car manufactured before. And the best part is that car manufacturers all over are aiming to develop even better hybrid cars in the future to compete in the market! Here are some examples of the more popular hybrid cars for the year.
The Toyota Prius
Years after its release in 2001, the Toyota Prius still remains to be one of the top-most favored hybrid cars in the industry. This is due perhaps to the fact that it is fuel efficient by being able to run over 25 miles with as little as a dollar in its tank. Because of the Toyota Prius, car manufacturers all over are following suit on its reliability and fuel efficiency.
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.
2007 Nissan Altima
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.
