HYBRID CARS
Take the lead. Drive electrified.
Hybrid to cope with every eventuality. Since launching our Optima hybrid in 2011, we have developed a range of outstanding hybrid vehicles that stand out for their efficiency, appeal and quality. More than a flexible technology, this is a range honed to give you room for inspiration.
How a Hybrid car works
• Hybrids have a battery and engine that support each other when needed.
• There is no need to charge the battery from an external source.
• The battery charges when decelerating or going downhill.
• Hybrids can operate in electric-only mode when at a standstill, at low, constant speed or when decelerating.
Benefits of Hybrid
-
Consume less fuel
The seamless coordination of the engine and battery not only provides power but also efficient use of fuel. -
No need to plug in
Fill up the car with petrol just like any conventional petrol car. Our Hybrid system cleverly charges the battery whilst you are driving. -
Less clutch, more drive
Enjoy the performance of two combined power sources funnelled through an automatic or dual-clutch gearbox. The system automatically changes gears swiftly and seamlessly for maximum driving enjoyment.

Cost of ownership
Of course, driving a hybrid means you keep your fuel bills under control but there are other reasons for making a smart choice. With strong resale values, lower tax, better access to restricted city centres and the reassurance of our pioneering 7 year warranty, it is not surprising many of our customers opt for a hybrid.
