As you explore the different hybrid models available in Atlanta, you may find yourself wondering what the difference is between hybrid vs. gas cars. To sum it up briefly, Hybrid cars use a battery-powered electric motor with a gas-powered internal combustion engine and a hybrid-electric battery. This engine design allows for better fuel economy as you drive through Atlanta for your errands or your daily commute. Here are some other advantages to owning a hybrid vehicle:
When hybrid vehicles first came to the market, many drivers had the false assumption that hybrid vehicles are too expensive, offer sluggish performance, or are difficult to drive. In reality, many Toyota Hybrid vehicles are available at driver-friendly prices — like the Toyota Camry Hybrid or the Toyota Corolla Hybrid — and offer easy maneuverability on Marietta roads. Toyota vehicles are also capable of offering excellent engine performance — in some cases better than gas-powered vehicles — and some can even go faster than 100 miles an hour!

A big part of the efficiency of hybrid vehicles is their batteries. Just like gas-powered cars though, hybrid car batteries will need to be replaced every so often if they burn out or if they’re damaged. If you’re wondering “How long do Toyota Hybrid car batteries last,” the answer is about 10 years or 15,000 miles. However — much like gas-powered cars — that time will vary depending on what the weather conditions your vehicle is exposed to and how much power you demand from your engine on a daily basis. Whether you need power for your gas-powered Toyota or your Toyota Hybrid, you can get a battery replacement from the service team at Marietta Toyota!
The Toyota motor company came out with the first hybrid vehicle available for mass production 20 years ago with the Toyota Prius. Today, we’re proud to be an industry leader in the hybrid vehicle market as we continue to improve and innovate our hybrid models for future generations.
