Hybrid premium cars
The statements "Hybrid vehicles create to save fuel!" Can only be considered true partially. The best proof of the fallacy of the "economic theory" of hybrid development is the large number of such cars in the premium class. For their buyers, a few extra liters of fuel per hundred kilometers are not critical. Hybrid cars have many other benefits that are well chosen and loved by affluent people.

Lexus RX 450h Hybrid
This luxury Japanese crossover is the first of a list of models that dispel the myth of hybrid cars as a product for the overkill of budget-conscious users. The manufacturer claims an average fuel consumption of 8.8 l / 100 km in the city and about 10 l / 100 km in the city. Such characteristics are not something outstanding for a modern crossover, since some "simple" diesel analogs consume even less . However, given the size, weight and acceleration of the Lexus RX 450h Hybrid, the results are surprisingly surprising. It is worth remembering that less than 9 l / 100 km in the city is the data for a model with a 3.5-liter V-shaped six-cylinder engine. That is, significant savings are present, but if it were the only priority, buyers would have chosen the much simpler and cheaper modifications of the Lexus RX.

Lincoln MKZ Hybrid
The model is designed for fans of luxury cars "Made in USA". It comes with a significantly modest 2.0-liter engine. Only the presence of an additional electric drive allows the car to remain dynamic enough. The claimed average fuel consumption is 6.9 l / 100 km. in the city and 7.2 l / 100 km. beyond. This example is indicative of the fact that buyers are willing to buy luxury cars with a small engine, if the combined drive system provides sufficient dynamism.

Toyota Avalon Hybrid
The large and comfortable sedan is equipped with a four-cylinder in-line 2.5-liter internal combustion engine. A few years ago, this fact could have ridiculed or even offended rich buyers, but today the availability of additional electric propulsion makes it impossible to doubt Avalon's ability to move as the owner would like. The great torque of the electric motor, accessible from the very bottom, does its job.

Toyota Highlander Hybrid
The Highlander Hybrid impresses Europeans with its dimensions, though it is not something extraordinary for the North American market. This SUV is equipped with a V-shaped 6-cylinder 3.5-liter petrol engine and is capable of consuming 9.4 liters of fuel per 100 km. mileage in the city and 10 liters beyond. But agree that people looking for a budget car are unlikely to buy the Highlander.

Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid
It's difficult to call the Pathfinder a "green" car. He is heavy, big and irreversible. However, under the hood it has a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, which is paired with an electric motor. The power plant produces 250 hp maximum power and 243 Nm of torque, allowing you to feel confident in the city and beyond. It consumes a car with 11-10 liters of gasoline for every 100 km. If the typical Pathfinder buyer were a practical man looking for a budget car, he would have chosen a regular minivan or station wagon. In doing so, it would have to sacrifice class, comfort, dynamics and overall fun to drive, but modern hybrid technology makes it impossible to settle for compromise.

McLaren Speedtail
Speedtail is the new model of the legendary McLaren. The hybrid powertrain of this hypercar is not designed to save fuel. More than 1000 horsepower total power, acceleration at 12.8 seconds 0-300 km / h, and a top speed of more than 400 km / h - this is made possible by the technologies that in the first Toyota Prius simply helped reduce volumes harmful emissions and save fuel.
Today, hybrid technology is no longer associated with the desire to save on day-to-day operation. They are increasingly pointing to the vehicle's high adaptability and ability to meet the needs of demanding customers.
