The gearhead’s opinion
But hybrid car owners will drive like hybrid car owners. And for them, the big bonus in the Sonata Hybrid should be the periods of electric-only cruising that can occur at virtually any speed they’d care to visit.
End of the day, the wide range of ‘electric-only’ driving possibilities, even at highway speeds, mean the BlueDrive technology is working overtime to maximize fuel savings in a way drivers can see on every trip. And that’s nice when you’ve invested the extra dollars in a hybrid.
Those interested in a fuel-saving family car should check this one out, alongside the Fusion Hybrid, Camry Hybrid and some of the TDI Clean Diesel stuff from Volkswagen.
Not in the new-car market? Remember that proper maintenance and a tune-up on your older ride can slash your fuel bill and emissions, considerably, too.
