Should You Buy A Hybrid Car

Making It Simple™: Is a new Toyota hybrid in Orlando the right vehicle for you?

Shopping for a new Toyota in Orlando can be a little bit daunting; we’re well aware of this at our Toyota dealership in Central Florida. That’s why we have a skilled team of sales specialists on hand to answer all of your questions and help you decide which vehicle is the right fit for you! One of the big questions they hear nowadays? Whether or not hybrids are a good fit. It varies from driver to driver, but we’ve put together a list of questions that you should ask yourself when you’re debating whether or not to jump into the world of new Toyota hybrids in Orlando.

What factors should you think about with new Toyota hybrids?

Price

First things first: How much are you willing to spend on your car? New Toyota hybrids in Orlando tend to be a little bit pricier than their traditional gasoline counterparts. However, they make up for it by offering you incredible savings on fuel down the road. The Toyota Prius, for example, gets around 57 mpg, which means your fuel costs get severely slashed. Is it worth it to you to pay more now in order to save big later?

Performance

What do you want out of your driving experience? If you’re an impatient driver and you like a ride that’s got a lot of acceleration, a traditional Toyota hybrid probably isn't for you. New Toyota hybrids in Orlando like the Prius or Camry focus more on fuel efficiency and eco-sensitivity, so they tend to offer less torque and horsepower than gas-powered vehicles.

However, with the inception of the new i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrains, you've got options. These are the powertrains you'll typically find in powerhouses like the Toyota Tundra and Toyota Tacoma, and while they do offer slightly improved fuel efficiency, their main perk is powerful performance. They offer significantly more horsepower and torque than even the gas engines in our lineup, making them perfect for big vehicles, towing, hauling, and off-roading. 

Drive time

Where does your day-to-day driving take you? If you find yourself often riding on city or suburban streets and tackling traffic, then a new Toyota hybrid is a great choice. However, if you mostly take highways to get to your point B, then a gasoline-powered car isn’t a bad choice for you, either.

Capabilities

What capabilities does your vehicle need to have? If you need a car or truck that can tow or haul heavy loads, you can still drive a hybrid. Check out our hybrid trucks inventory and explore the major horsepower and torque that our i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrains can offer.  If cargo space or passenger seating is your concern, you’re in luck. We have a huge selection of new Toyota hybrids that deliver on both accounts. You'll find hybrid models for the Toyota Highlander, RAV4, Sienna, Sequoia, and Grand Highlander waiting for you at Toyota of Orlando. All of these options deliver maximum seating and cargo space while still delivering hybrid fuel efficiency.
