Corolla Hybrid vs Corolla Gas

Описание: With the rising price of fuel, a lot of people have been turning to hybrid vehicles. They are looking for fuel economy without sacrificing performance or features. The good news is that Toyota offers a hybrid version of virtually every vehicle in their line-up. It means that you can find a Toyota Hybrid model to suit your exact needs.
However, do you really NEED a hybrid?
In this short video we are going to provide you with some helpful information so you can make an informed decision.
If most of your driving is on the highway, it will take you much longer to realize the payback in fuel savings. If most of your driving is around town, Hybrids are at their most fuel efficient. Think of delivery drivers or taxi cabs. A hybrid is a perfect choice for them. Mostly around town. Lots of starts and stops.
Therefore, it is a good idea to decide what that means for you and your situation.
So, let’s do a side-by-side comparison of a Corolla Hybrid versus the gasoline-only version to show you. These numbers were originally published by Canadian Automobile Association. We have a more detailed charts and information available on our website.
A new Corolla Hybrid is approximately three thousand, nine hundred dollars more expensive than the same gasoline-only model.
If you average 10,000 kilometers per year and you do drive 70 percent on the highway and 30 percent in the city. You will save approximately two hundred and twenty-four liters of fuel with the hybrid Corolla. At approximately a dollar fifty per litre, that’s three hundred and thirty-six dollars in annual fuel savings. Therefore, when you do that math, the payback period for the Hybrid Corolla is approximately 11.6 years.
If you average 25,000 kilometers per year with the same seventy thirty split highway versus city. You will save five hundred and sixty liters or eight hundred and forty dollars per year. The payback time is reduced to 4.6 years.
If you drive the same 25,000 kilometers per year but you are 50 percent highway and 50 percent city, then your fuel savings increase to six hundred and fifty liters or nine hundred and seventy-five dollars in annual fuel savings. The payback time for a Hybrid Corolla is just 4 years.
There you have it. A quick look at the expected payback period when you choose a Corolla Hybrid over a gasoline-only model.
The final factor to consider is the expected delivery time for your new Corolla Hybrid. Wait times vary greatly. However, you should be prepared to wait 6 to 8 months to receive a new Toyota Hybrid from the factory.
Conversely, the wait times are slightly longer for gasoline powered models. You can expect to receive a factory order in 8 to 12 months.
