Toyota Plug-in Hybrids Video – Kelley Blue Book Green

FOR MORE CAR VIDEOS & REVIEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com Toyota Plug-in Hybrids. 2010 Toyota Prius. Some will tell you that plug-in hybrids are the answer to the twin problems of global climate change and our reliance on foreign sources of oil. Since plug-ins can operate for substantial distances without the use of gasoline, they turn in phenomenal miles-per-gallon figures and when operating in electric mode they produce no carbon dioxide emissions and virtually no other emissions, for that matter. Despite this, no major vehicle manufacturer has yet brought a plug-in hybrid to market, though some – notably General Motors and Toyota – have announced plans to do so in the relatively near future. Recently we sat down with Toyota hybrid expert Jaycie Chitwood to get a better understanding of the real benefits plug-ins will bring, what the technical challenges are in building and owning plug-ins and, importantly, what they will cost.

Jeep Patriot – Kelley Blue Book’s Review

www.kbb.com With roots tracing back to World War Two, no manufacturer is more associated with go-anywhere, do-anything off-road capability than Jeep. Now, more than 60 years after its introduction, the definition of the Jeep brand is expanding. Unlike previous Jeeps, the Patriot is based on a front-drive, unibody compact car platform that it shares with the Jeep Compass and the Dodge Caliber. Although mechanically similar to those vehicles, the Patriot is designed to be more capable off-road than either the Caliber or Compass. The all new Patriot plows new ground for the Jeep brand in the compact SUV category. With good fuel economy, boxy Jeep styling and a starting price under $15000, the Patriot offers an interesting package for people looking for an affordable SUV they can take off road.

Big enough to fit two child seats and still have plenty of room for cargo, the Jetta SportWagen also excels in the areas of fuel economy and fun-to-drive attitude.

Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid Review – Kelley Blue Book

FORMORE CAR VIDEOS & REVIEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid. The term hybrid gets tossed about quite a bit these days, but what does it really mean? In the case of the new Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid, it means a system that still uses a gasoline engine to power the vehicle 100-percent of the time, but with a clever stop/start feature designed to minimize fuel consumption. Welcome to our comprehensive Kelley Blue Book review of the Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid. The advantage of the Malibus hybrid design is simple: it costs a lot less than the elaborate system found in the Toyota Camry Hybrid, yet still bumps fuel economy up by a couple miles per gallon. And the Malibu Hybrid still qualifies for a $1300 tax credit from the Federal Government. For more new car reviews, interviews and automotive news visit www.kbb.com today.

Nissan Altima Hybrid Video Review – Kelley Blue Book

FORMORE CAR VIDEOS & REVIEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com Nissan Altima Hybrid. The Nissan Altima Hybrid is one of the new breed of hybrids that doesnt look like a hybrid at all. Challenging the idea that hybrids should have futuristic exteriors like the Toyota Prius, the Altima Hybrid looks like a typical mid-size sedan with only a few clues to its fuel-saving character. Welcome to our comprehensive Kelley Blue Book review of the Nissan Altima Hybrid. The Altima Hybrid could be mistaken for an Altima Sedan save for the slightly diminished trunk size to accommodate the hybrid system, the noticeable transition between electric and gasoline propulsion and the Hybrid badges on the side and rear. The well-appointed interior and roomy cabin of the Altima Hybrid are mainstays of the Altima line, and the hybrid system makes it a win-win choice for anyone who wants to save at the gas pump but needs a midsize sedan.

Honda Civic Hybrid Review – Kelley Blue Book

FORMORE CAR VIDEOS & REVIEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com Honda Civic Hybrid. Honda introduced the first gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle to the American market in 1999, although the two-seat Honda Insight captured few buyers. But soon after that step, Honda took the hybrid vehicle concept to primetime in its hot-selling Civic line. Now a second-generation Honda Civic Hybrid has arrived, and it has improved upon its predecessor in every way possible. It looks better, rides better and offers much better integration between gasoline and electric propulsion. At the same time it is both more powerful and more efficient than the previous model and offers a feel much closer to its key rival, the Toyota Prius. Welcome to our comprehensive Kelley Blue Book review of the Honda Civic Hybrid. The Civic Hybrid is now capable of running on electric power only, but the most significant enhancements are in ride, handling, styling and comfort — improvements that have benefited the entire Civic lineup.
