Hybrid cars: model overview

Oil reserves are not limitless. So with each new year, the price of gasoline will only get higher. An interesting way out of this difficult situation are the hybrid cars.

What is a hybrid car

The main difference between a hybrid car is the powerplant, which sets it in motion. Its difference from the conventional internal combustion engine is the ability to use two or more sources of energy. In fact this car has two motors, each operates from a different source.

However, in most cases, to simplify the two units are called one succinct word — hybrid engine. Just need to make an important clarification. At the moment there are many sources of energy, mastered by mankind, among the most famous:

  • gasoline;
  • sun;
  • compressed air;
  • diesel;
  • heat;
  • liquefied natural gas;
  • the wind.
Despite this diversity in a hybrid car has two engines. One powered by electricity, the second by diesel or petrol, in any case, it is engine combustion.

The advantages of hybrid engineHybrid car greatly reduces the consumption of fuel. Moreover, it is much more environmentally friendly than gasoline counterparts. A similar effect designers managed to achieve thanks to:

  • joint work of the engine and the electric motor;
  • regenerative braking, which transforms kinetic energy into electrical energy;
  • the batteries.
In fact, in the twenty-first century hybrid car was the epitome of innovation. Suffice it to recall the system of variable valve timing, EGR, improved aerodynamics, and so on. However, despite all these undeniable advantages, the hybrid still did not become widely spread.

Attention! The main drawback of these cars is the design complexity. Hybrid carsЛегенды



Prius ZVW30 was released in 2009. In Russia, the hybrid car was sold under the official license in the configuration Prestige. The vehicle was equipped with the following features:

  • climate control,
  • cruise control,
  • light sensors,
  • leather steering wheel,
  • electric power steering,
  • multifunctional control and so on.
The car is equipped with many useful features and had a nice design. Seven pillows provide an increased level of security. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 3.9 litres per 100 kilometres.





Lexus GS 450 h belongs to a completely different class than the previous car. The main achievement of the Japanese designers was maintaining the same dynamic performance along with reduced fuel consumption.

Attention! This car 10 airbags, electronic control braking system and a separate climate control. Hybrid drive of a vehicle with a capacity of 295 horsepower consumes 7.9 liters per 100 kilometers. The car is equipped with two electric motors. Disperse hundreds happens in less than six seconds.





The BMW X6 ActiveHybrid is one of the most expensive hybrid cars were sold in Russia. The creation of the concept took three years. But the result exceeded all expectations. The car was the most powerful at the time of release.

Hybrid car X6 had a lot of unique advantages, including aerodynamic wheels. Moreover, he was equipped with a Ni-MH battery. It had liquid cooling, which allowed the SUV to pass 2.5 kilometres solely on electricity. The speed can reach 60 kilometers per hour.

The novelties of the marketthe Market of hybrid cars is constantly evolving. New technologies allow us to create more advanced concept that combines the ability to work from multiple sources simultaneously.





Not so long ago at the Geneva motor show rocked the novelty from Lexus is a sports car LC 500h. The car immediately drew the attention because of its unusual appearance. In principle, a full copy of the gasoline counterpart. The only addition are the nameplates.

Attention! Designers fully retained the bold and striking design diesel predecessor. Under the hood of the hybrid car is the power plant from V6. It has a volume of 3.5 liters. The basis for the functioning of taken the Atkinson cycle. Cylinder blocks made of aluminum. The timing system consists of 24 valves. Horsepower – 299.

The design of the power unit of a hybrid vehicle contains two electrical motor. They are connected with a gasoline engine with Electromechanical CVT. It has three planetary gears.

Attention! Up to a hundred supercar accelerates less than 5 seconds.



The Honda NSX was known as the super hybrid car even before its official release. It happened not so long ago. In the year 2015 in Geneva, the Japanese company made an official release.

A hybrid car has received an unusual filling. First, the design uses three electric motors. Secondly, the camber angle is 75 degrees. Thirdly, the combined supply of fuel capable of producing 572 horsepower. The highlight in this Kingdom of power are two turbocharged compressor.

In this hybrid vehicle the rear axle meets the motor. It has a modest 48 horsepower. But it supports the engine. Therefore, the output is incredible power. To this list I should add devyatikonechnoy robotized transmission equipped with a torque Converter, and working with two clutches.





Of the innovations can be simpler to recall the Toyota Prius Prime, which debuted in March this year at the new York auto show. She immediately became the champion in the family "of Priuses" at the reserve, and consumption of fuel. Moreover, the hybrid car can be recharged from the usual outlets. The designers radically changed the design, making it more futuristic.

The power characteristics of the hybrid car is quite modest in comparison with the previous car. But for the average resident is more than enough. The petrol engine capacity of 1.8 liters. It is capable of producing 98 horsepower. The electric motor adds to this figure 73. GRM has 16 valves.

Hybrid cars are increasingly part of the everyday life of motorists. Their main advantage is reduced fuel consumption. The engineers manage to keep the performance that is not inferior to the fully gasoline or diesel vehicles. published
