Hybrids and Plug-Ins  

When you want to combine an electric motor’s power with the gasoline engine’s endurance, we recommend hybrids and plug-ins all day long at the dealerships associated with Beach Boulevard of Cars in Huntington Beach. Our dealers have quite a few new models for drivers in Orange County and the rest of Southern California.

Going Compact 

Starting with the small Kia Niro Hybrid, which seats up to five passengers, reveals the advantages of a more maneuverable size and an alternative motive source that gets an EPA-estimated 53 MPG on the highway while being backed by a powertrain limited warranty that lasts for 10 years or 100,000 miles.

If you prefer a 120-volt household outlet to contribute to 210 total system horsepower and an all-electric range of up to 37 miles, the Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid includes a level 1 mobile power cord. You’ll get up to 581 miles of total range and an all-wheel drive that takes on any terrain when you drive the Subaru Forester Hybrid.

Unconventional Sedans

Sedans like the Toyota Prius embody adult sophistication while making entering and exiting more convenient through four doors. The precursor to all consumer hybrids returns this year with up to 57 combined EPA-estimated MPG and 194 – 196 net combined horsepower.

For up to 204 horsepower, check out the Honda Accord Hybrid, which has modes like Sport for greater responsiveness, Econ for fuel efficiency, and, exclusive to hybrid trims, an Individual mode for tailoring gauges, steering, and other settings to your preferences.

High-Performance

Hybrids can provide the thrill of a muscle car if you get behind the wheel of the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray, which relies on 655 combined horsepower to rush from 0 to 60 MPH in just 2.5 seconds. Although not as sleek as the speedster, the Dodge Hornet R/T is a plug-in hybrid compact crossover SUV that can prove just as exciting by launching from 0 to 60 MPH in 5.6 seconds while getting a combined EPA-estimated 77 MPGe.

Trail Riders

A plug-in like the Nissan Rogue PHEV negotiates trails as capably as it speeds on the freeway, thanks its 2.4-liter 4-cylinder, two electric motors, and a 20 kWh battery that allows for up to 38 miles on electricity alone. You can get closer to nature by stripping off the doors and roof of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which gets up to an EPA-estimated 49 MPGe with a total driving range of 370 miles.

Go from off-road fun to workday toughness in the Ram 1500 Ramcharger, a plug-in hybrid that roars with 663 horsepower while towing up to 14,000 lbs. and carrying up to 2,625 lbs.

Taking the Family

Your kids can learn about non-gasoline combustion first-hand in the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Minivan, which carries up to eight occupants on three spacious rows while protecting everybody with driver assists like Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with its Active Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Adaptive Cruise Control. The Mazda CX-90 PHEV carries just as many passengers for as far as 26 miles on electricity only and revs up to 323 horsepower. Smaller families can enjoy the Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid, which seats up to 5 passengers unless you fold down the rear seatbacks for up to 108.2 cu. ft. of cargo space.

Come check it out and take a test drive or two.
