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. The Toyota Prius 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 For a sedan, Saturn really knows how to attract with its looks. But under the hood, this hybrid car tells a different story. It may look good but for the year 2007, it is probably the worst performing hybrid in its class. A mid-size car with a tank size of about 16 gallons, the engine acts more like a thirsty animal than one that can conserve fuel; as a hybrid, it still does conserve gas but not as well as models found in the same category and from other car manufacturers. The Nissan Altima Hybrid Fuel economy can be a tricky thing and Nissan seems to know its customers quite well in this field. Although the 2007 model does mean that you would have to spend about $1200 a year on fuel, the 2007 hybrid does manage to do 702 miles on a full tank. It seems that it outweighs its competition in Toyota but the trick that Nissan has up their sleeve is that the Altima has a larger tank that holds 20 gallons of fuel. For the very careful, it may not be a wise purchase but for those who don't intend on making too many stops that the gas station every now and then, this may be a great hybrid option to begin with. 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid The 2007 Honda Civic hybrid car is probably comes nearest to beating out the competition in Toyota hybrid. The Honda Civic was reviewed as the top selling gas-car, and it seems that it can further prove its own worth in the hybrid car arena as well. The 2007 Honda Civic has slightly larger tank than the Toyota Prius, and can do 554 miles on a full tank. This is definitely quite a leap of improvement from Honda's last hybrid model. It is not surprising to surmise, therefore, that once the Prius stocks run low, the Honda hybrid would be the next best thing in the list.
