There are a number of factors to consider when purchasing hybrid cars. Once you decide to purchase a hybrid, you then need to decide on which one. So how do you determine the best hybrid car for you? The task can seem a little daunting, but a good place to start is checking reviews online and seeing what other hybrid owners and automotive professionals have to say about various models. We have put together a short list of the top 5 best hybrid cars of 2014 to help you in your search for the right car.
It is a rare compliment that a hybrid receives to have its driving experience compared to that of a gas-only car. The 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid is one of the few cars worthy of that compliment. Other than the overall drive train feel, reviewers also noted that the regenerative brakes feel very normal and the transition from electric to gas power and vice-versa are almost imperceptible. Add to that the affordable comfort that the Camry model is known for, and you have a solid contender for the best hybrid cars of 2014.
While the Ford Fusion model does not have as long of a history as the Camry, it has proven itself to be very reliable since its release. With the best fuel economy ratings in its class, an affordable price, and great long-term ownerships reviews, it is no wonder that the Fusion comes in a close second for the best hybrid cars of the year.
Honda Accords have always been known for their comfy interiors that can accurately be described as “affordable luxury.” Since the Accord was released as a hybrid car, they have also been known for fantastic fuel economy, and the 2014 model is no exception with an EPA-estimated 50/45 mpg city/highway. Reviewers say the Accord Hybrid has plenty of power to go around, unlike some hybrid cars that can struggle taking off from a stop or transitioning onto a highway. Combine that with the quiet ride due to the CVT, and you are in for a great driving experience!
For many people, when they hear the term “hybrid car,” they immediately think of the Prius. What the 2014 model lacks in power and handling, it makes up for with exceptional fuel economy and a comfortable, spacious interior. The Prius V's 44/40 mpg city/highway, while about average for most hybrid cars, is exceptional for a larger wagon.
Finishing our list of the best hybrid cars of 2014 is the Toyota Avalon. While some reviewers say the Avalon is not particularly fun to drive, most agree that that it has great fuel economy, and the comfortable, high quality interior that many expect from the Avalon model. Though the 4-cylinder engine paired with the electric motor may not be wow-ing anyone with acceleration, and the gas mileage is decidedly average for a hybrid sedan, its affordability make it an exceptional choice in its class of large cars.
