Dealer's Guide to 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid | Toronto, Mississauga, Ontario



Driving in Toronto and Mississauga can be expensive. You want a reliable, attractive and cost-friendly vehicle. How much do you know about hybrid vehicles? If you’re still feeling a bit nervous about a fully electric automobile, but want to be conscious of the environment as well as your gas mileage, hybrids might be the best option. You’ll get the best of both gas and electric engines in one car, and the Ontario government has some sweet incentives for going hybrid.

What exactly is a plug-in hybrid vehicle? Combining a gasoline engine, electric motor, and battery pack, hybrid drivers can opt for electric mode when it's more efficient to do so. Still, there are some instances when a gas engine is just more practical. For example, on a longer road trip in remote locations that may lack easy-access charging stations. Hybrids offer about 30 percent better gas mileage than conventional cars of the same size. And while certain hybrids may cost a little bit more at the outset, you’ll make up the difference in fuel savings in mere years. Fluctuating gasoline prices will have less of an impact on your budget, and hybrid SUVs can still manage very good towing and hauling capacity. The dual drivetrains make the cars more expensive initially, and the battery packs can take up space and add heft to the vehicle. But as technology and design evolve at a rapid pace, the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica is definitely worth serious consideration. And as mentioned, there are financial perks to making the switch.
