hybrid SUV

Efficient family hauler

A hybrid SUV is a sport utility vehicle powered by both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor.

The dual system improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions compared to conventional SUVs.

Some hybrids charge their batteries only through regenerative braking and the gas engine; plug-in hybrids can also charge from an electrical outlet for extended electric-only range: We bought a hybrid SUV to cut down on gas costs.
