Allow our team to discuss the pros and cons of both types of vehicles and see what the differences are between them. We cannot wait to support and pamper you during your shopping.

Plug-in Hybrids

When drivers think of hybrids, the image that comes to mind is most likely a gas vehicle that can plug in to charge their electric power. That is actually a plug-in hybrid vehicle, which is different from a traditional hybrid car. Plug-in hybrid models receive larger batteries, which is why they require drivers to plug them in to recharge their electric power. These models typically need a standard 120-volt household outlet or a 240-volt charging unit.

Many plug-in hybrid models can go 25 miles or more on pure electric power. Still, larger components are involved to save fuel, making plug-in hybrid models typically more expensive than regular hybrid models.

Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles to Consider

Does a plug-in hybrid model suit your needs? Feel free to browse our plug-in hybrid lineup. The Lexus NX plug-in hybrid is a great choice for many reasons. Great fuel efficiency, an upscale cabin, and a pleasant driving experience help it work well in many driving lifestyles. Another good option is the Lexus RX plug-in hybrid. This plug-in hybrid SUV offers a great and smooth ride, a premium cabin, and a long list of standard features.

Hybrids

Conventional hybrid models are vehicles that do not need to plug in to charge. Instead, the gas engine keeps the electric batteries charged while you drive, so you can spend more time out on the road and less time at a charging station. They offer wonderful fuel efficiency without the same larger components seen in the plug-in hybrids. However, they provide less electric-only mileage.

It is important to keep in mind that hybrid cars are often less expensive than plug-in hybrid models.

Hybrid Vehicles to Consider

There are plenty of Lexus hybrid vehicles to consider bringing home. The new Lexus UX hybrid SUV has a classy interior, stylish exterior appeal, stellar fuel economy, and numerous standard features. Another good choice is the Lexus ES hybrid, a midsize sedan with a lavish cabin, adult-friendly seating, a relaxed ride, and good fuel efficiency. Both of these models can be your solution.

How to Decide

Are you trying to decide whether to bring home a plug-in hybrid vehicle or a conventional hybrid vehicle? Worry not, as we can help you decide between the two. If you love driving on only electric power for longer periods on the road and do not mind pulling over to charge your electric battery, then a plug-in hybrid model can fit your wants and needs.

A conventional hybrid model is for you if you want a more affordable model that remains capable of all-electric power and does not require you to pull into a charging station. Regardless of which you choose, you can find great fuel efficiency.
