What are the advantages and disadvantages of hybrid vehicles? Is it worth buying?

Let's start with the conclusion. It's not worth buying.

Many people think that a hybrid car combines the advantages of a fuel car and an electric car. Is that really the case? The following is your detailed answer.

Let's talk about advantages first:

1, fuel saving, which should be recognized as the biggest advantage of hybrid vehicles. There are only a few driving modes of hybrid electric vehicles, some are low-speed pure electric drive, some are high-speed fuel drive, and some are motor-assisted engine speed increase. Either way, the purpose is to minimize the invalid running time of the internal combustion engine and obtain better fuel consumption performance. The fuel consumption of hybrid vehicles with the same displacement is generally about 30% lower than that of traditional power vehicles.

2. shake the number. This is mainly for cities that restrict purchases. Hybrid cars belong to new energy vehicles, so you don't need to go through the lottery process. You can buy them directly if you want. For consumers who are in cities with restricted purchases but have no car purchase indicators, this is almost the most effective and even the only car purchase channel. Therefore, if you are in a restricted city, you should probably consider the existence and non-existence of the problem, and then consider the good and bad problems.

There are many other small advantages, so I won't list them one by one. Now let's talk about disadvantages:

1, the price, because the hybrid car has two power systems at the same time, the cost is definitely higher than that of the traditional car, and the combination of the two systems is also a unique high-end technology of each family, and the technical cost is definitely included in the cost, so the same hybrid car is definitely more expensive than the traditional power car, and may be much more expensive. Take Corolla as an example, the minimum configuration of the dual-engine hybrid version is 137800, while the minimum configuration of the traditional power is only 1 17800 yuan.

2. Maintenance cost. The maintenance cost mentioned here is not limited to economic cost. For example, in addition to the traditional maintenance of hybrid vehicles, the motor system also needs maintenance, which also has costs. Moreover, the current motor technology is developing rapidly, the update iteration is fast, and the life is unknown. Even if Toyota is as mature as technology, it can be free of maintenance or free of charge, but the time and energy spent should be measured by itself.

3, driving experience, regardless of whether the hybrid car is plugged in or not, it must have an energy storage mechanism, that is, the battery, and the battery's electricity can only come from kinetic energy recovery except from the engine, that is, the inertia of the car body is used to generate electricity, which is directly reflected in the driving experience, that is, once the throttle is released, the car will automatically brake slightly, affecting the driving experience. If a power system is added, the weight of the hybrid car will also rise linearly, which has a great influence on the handling and braking distance of the vehicle.

In general, if it is not in a restricted city, hybrid models are still not recommended.
