While ditching plastic bags, carrying a reusable water bottle, and recycling are all great ways to help the environment, one of the best things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint is driving a car with excellent gas mileage. Next time you go to Abbotsford auto mall or another dealer in search of a vehicle, consider one of these efficient choices.
Toyota Prius
The Toyota Prius, the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle, is safe, relatively spacious, and easy on the environment. The 2020 model gets an estimated combined gas mileage of 52 miles per gallon, which means you will be able to enjoy more time on the road and less at the gas station. The technology available in the newest models includes a system that alerts drivers of potential collisions, parking assistance, and smart climate control to ensure consistent temperatures.
Kia Optima Hybrid
If you prefer a Korean rather than a Japanese car, have enjoyed driving Kias in the past and are interested in decreasing your consumption of gasoline, the Kia Optima Hybrid could be a good choice for you. This vehicle gets an average of 42 miles per gallon of gas, and yet it still delivers a thrilling ride. It has a streamlined, aerodynamic look that its drivers will be sure to enjoy for years to come.
Chevrolet Volt
The Chevrolet Volt is what is known as a plug-in hybrid: it runs on both gasoline and electric power, and its battery needs to be plugged into a wall outlet in order to charge fully. While there is some inconvenience involved in plugging in a car, the Volt allows you to drive up to 53 miles before it switches to gas. This vehicle’s configuration allows it to travel exceptionally quickly and quietly.
Next time you are in the market for a new car, consider buying one that gets high gas mileage. You will do a service to the environment and save money in fuel costs. In addition, you may receive a tax break. Good luck with your car purchase!
