HYBRID CARS

Hybrid cars (HEV) are often referred as self-charging hybrid cars. They combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor and battery to power the car. A Hybrid electric vehicle can't be plugged in to charge. Instead, the battery charges in decelerating, stopping or coasting phases.

It's simple really. Along with a petrol or diesel engine, Hybrid cars (HEV) have an electric motor powered by a small but effective battery. The electric motor in a hybrid electric vehicle assists the engine for improved fuel efficiency.

No, you don't need to charge a Hybrid car, they are self-charging.

A hybrid drives like a traditional combustion engine car but with a few bonuses. It’s a lot quieter for a start and you systematically benefit from the convenience of clutch-less drive with either an automatic or dual-clutch auto transmission. And, if you fancy a more dynamic drive, Kia hybrid cars have a Sports drive mode.

How long a Hybrid battery lasts will depend on the specific model and battery size. 

Yes, Hybrid cars are well-suited to long-distance journeys, as the Hybrid battery and ICE can be used in conjunction to minimize emissions but ensure you always reach your destination without running out of charge. 

If your Hybrid battery runs out while driving, your car will automatically switch over to the ICE and the Hybrid battery will self-charge. This is one of the positives of driving a Hybrid vehicle.  

A Hybrid car electric vehicle combines two different types of power: electricity and petrol. Hybrid cars regenerate energy through the braking system to power the battery. The engine and battery tend to help each other out. They can work together or separately.

Unfortunately we don't offer Hybrid car lease deals, but we do have Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) for Hybrid vehicles. Take a look at the different PCP Hybrid car prices and choose the model that's right for you.

A Hybrid 4x4 combines electric power and a petrol engine with a four-wheel drive system. Where a petrol 4x4 typically uses a lot of fuel, a Hybrid 4x4 will tend to be better on fuel.

There is currently no government grant for Hybrid cars . For information, please go to Office Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) grant schemes.

Drivers using Hybrid cars are required to pay the congestion charge. Only pure electric vehicles are currently exempt from the congestion charge. However this exemption from the congestion charge for electric cars.

E-Hybrid cars are plug-in hybrid vehicles. We don't use this terminology in our range of plug-in hybrid vehicles.
