Safety: Hybrid variants of gas-powered cars are almost never entry-level models.Most hybrids come standard with AWD, as the motor will power the rear wheels while the engine powers the front. When performance is prioritized, though, it often results in less impressive fuel economy returns. This often results in higher combined performance figures and many premium brands specifically use the motor to improve low-down acceleration. Performance: Plug-ins differ from regular hybrids in that they add an electric motor to the powertrain.

Towing capacity is also usually somewhat limited in hybrids due to their higher gross weight. However, they are still quite a bit heavier, so 7-seater hybrids are relatively rare. Thanks to some savvy design magic, most hybrids no longer have to make any sacrifices in these areas to accommodate their large battery packs. Practicality: The main selling point of any SUV is its superior passenger and cargo capacity.Since you don’t need to rely on the regenerative brakes to create this energy, you can keep the battery topped up between trips and really cash in on that all-electric range to get excellent fuel economy figures. Unlike a regular hybrid, a plug-in SUV hybrid can store a lot more electricity in its battery pack, and it can run solely on that power for a certain length of time. The sad truth is that few people really consider the latter when making a purchase decision.

Well, that and to lessen our impact on the environment.
