Honda puts innovation at the forefront of its objectives. And sustainability heads the list, too. So how do those two goals work together? To produce a line of environmentally-friendly vehicles that are both fun to drive and easy on emissions.
Hybrid vehicles are one way Honda achieves this goal. Read on to learn more about the cars in the new Honda hybrid lineup.

Why Hybrid?
Hybrid vehicles combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor to attain impressive fuel economy and super low emissions. And since the battery stores energy generated during braking and deceleration, there is no need to recharge it like you would with a fully electric vehicle. In other words? It’s the best of both worlds.
A hybrid vehicle does more than just save on gas money. Maximizing your fuel economy can help reduce air pollution and lower greenhouse gas emissions. So you can think green and protect the environment without added worry about where you can plug your car in to recharge at the end of the day.
How does a hybrid work?
Hybrid vehicles use a combination of technologies to increase efficiency and utilize power from both an engine and a battery.
- Regenerative Braking harnesses and repurposes energy normally lost during coasting or braking.
- Electric Motor Assist makes acceleration and climbing easier, allowing hybrids to use a smaller, more-efficient engine.
- Automatic Start/Stop shuts off the engine when your vehicle comes to a stop and restarts it when you accelerate, minimizing wasted energy.
