Although Toyota’s full-size sedan is available with some of the […]

Virtually everyone knows about the Prius––it was the very first hybrid and essentially put hybrids on the map––but you may not be as familiar with the plug-in version.

In 2001, the Toyota Prius reached the American market, introducing everyone to the word “Hybrid.” While you may not be able to describe exactly how a hybrid achieves its remarkable fuel efficiency, there are few drivers today who are not aware of the basics.

Second, they usually cost a great […]
Hybrid models are becoming more widely available across all vehicle manufacturer lineups, and most buyers believe the benefits lie mostly in savings on gas and reducing emissions.
