Review of 2007 Hybrid Cars

By Anton Rowd

Electric hybrid cars are positioning themselves along the auto industry's forefront lately following Toyota's release of its own first model last 2001 with Prius. As in all cars, the concept of electric hybrid cars is still the same. The difference, however, lies in its engine design, and the best part of it all is that car manufacturers around are bent on continually developing and improving the own lines of hybrid cars to be able to compete in the steep market. Thus, auto aficionados are guaranteed of innovative designs and quality performance. Let's take a look at some of these hybrid cars out for the year.

Toyota Prius Model

The 2007 hybrid car from Toyota remains to be the most reliable and most fuel efficient in the industry. For a little over $1 of gas, this vehicle can manage just about 25 miles; now that is economy. Not new to the market, the Prius has been promoting change in the automobile industry since it first appeared in 2001. It's a mid-sized car that can be well mistaken for a compact and it has the smallest tank for its class and makes sure it doesn't waste even a smidgen of fuel.

Saturn Aura Hybrid Car
For an ordinary-looking mold such as a sedan, the Saturn hybrid car is really quite the head-turner. However, a quick look under the hood would tell you that this beauty tells another story. Though it may look good for the year 2007, the Saturn may just as well be listed among the worst performing hybrids in its class for the year. As a mid-size car that laps up as much as 16 gallons of gas, its engine seems more like a thirsty Safari animal rather than a cost- and fuel-efficient hybrid car.

The Nissan Altima Hybrid

As far as fuel economy is concerned, the 2007 Nissan Altima is really quite the player in the field. Albeit the 2007 model mean that you would have to cash out about $1200 a year on fuel alone, the 2007 hybrid from Nissan still manages to go as far as 702 miles on full tank. It seems to beat its competition in Toyota hybrid but the trick is that Nissan actually has a larger tank that holds as much as 20 gallons of fuel. For the more careful hybrid fan, it may not be prudent to go for the Altima but for those who find gas stops a hassle, the 2007 Nissan Altima may just be the hybrid for them.

2007 Honda Civic Hybrid
The latest model of Honda Civic hybrid car is probably the closest runner-up to the top selling in the field, the Toyota hybrid. The Honda Civic was placed under the top selling gas-car, and now, it seems that it can even further prove its own worth in the hybrid car arena as well with a tank slightly larger than Toyota's Prius, running for 554 miles on its full tank. This edge is definitely quite an improvement from its last hybrid model. Hybrid car aficionados should not be surprised, therefore, to find it on top of the 2007 Hybrid car list once the Prius stocks run low.
