Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hybrid car?

As its name suggests, a hybrid car is part-electric, and part-petrol or diesel powered. Hybrids offer a more economical, eco-friendly driving experience with lower emissions. They also help save energy through regenerative braking. This is where energy normally lost during deceleration is stored and redeployed to the battery.

When it comes to hybrids, there are some specific types. Mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEVs) are usually self-charging. Then there are plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) which are plugged in when the battery needs recharging.

Is a hybrid car right for me?

If you are interested in experiencing a more modern way of driving but don't want to make the commitment to electric, a hybrid car may be right for you. They are smooth and easy to drive, and often come in a choice of manual or automatic transmission depending on your preferences.

You can also save on your road tax with a hybrid vehicle since they produce lower emissions than petrol or diesel vehicles. Plus, if you choose a self-charging hybrid, you won't even have to visit a charging station to power up thanks to regenerative braking.

What are some of the most popular hybrid cars?

At Macklin Motors, we stock some of the most popular hybrid cars. These include the Toyota Yaris Hybrid, Kia Niro Hybrid, Renault Clio E-TECH Hybrid, and more. Whatever you're looking for in your used hybrid car, you are sure to find it at Macklin Motors.

What is the lifespan of a hybrid car?

Hybrids generally last around as long as their petrol or diesel alternatives. They will still be subject to the same level of wear and tear, though it ultimately depends on how often you drive your hybrid car.

If it's well maintained and looked after, a hybrid vehicle should last for up to 100,000 miles as with a normal petrol or diesel model. Beyond this, it's more likely you'll be looking into a replacement battery. * *Source: Compare.com

How old of a hybrid should I buy?

Ultimately, it all comes down to the condition the car is in. Just because a hybrid is over a certain age doesn't mean it won't make a great used car, so long as it is still roadworthy.

When looking for a used hybrid, consider how often and how far you will be driving it. This will help you to decide whether an older or younger model is right for you. Filter your search by age on our website to find used hybrids suitable for you.

How much does a hybrid battery cost to replace?

Hybrid batteries are generally smaller than a standard EV battery, though they can still be extensive to replace. This largely depends on the make, model, and age of the car, and can often cost in excess of �2,000 for most hybrids.*

Do hybrids lose mpg over time?

Over time, hybrids can lose mpg as the battery becomes older, typically when the vehicle reaches eight years old (or over 100,000 miles). An older battery will work less effectively, just like the one in your smartphone when it becomes slower and loses charge quicker.

If this happens before your vehicle reaches eight years old, it may still be under warranty, which would cover the cost of a replacement.

What's better - hybrid or electric?

Ultimately, the choice is yours! Hybrid and electric vehicles both have their advantages and disadvantages. With an electric vehicle you pay zero road tax, though you'll make frequent visits to the charging station to power up. With a hybrid vehicle, there's no need to recharge if you choose a self-charging model, though you'll still have to pay reduced congestion zone charges.

The best way to decide whether a hybrid or electric car is best for you is to test-drive a few models. This way, you can compare the driving experience of electric and hybrid models and get a real feel for which one would best fit your lifestyle.

Are hybrid cars cheaper to tax?

Hybrid cars are indeed cheaper to tax than their petrol or diesel counterparts, though not as cheap as fully electric vehicles. This is because hybrids still use a petrol or diesel engine along with an electric motor, meaning they still produce some emissions.

At what speed do hybrid cars switch from battery power to petrol power?

Usually, hybrid cars will rely on the electric motor when travelling at lower speeds around towns and cities. For motorway driving, petrol power is more efficient, so hybrids will usually rely on the engine in these instances. *Source: BBC Science Focus

What is the most fuel-efficient hybrid in the UK?

Are all hybrid cars automatic?

No, not all hybrid cars are automatic. Different hybrids work in different ways, with some offering manual or automatic transmission. Of course, this depends on which model you choose.

If you are looking for an automatic used hybrid, let one of our friendly sales advisors know and they will happily assist you.

How long do hybrid batteries last?

Hybrid batteries typically last between 80,000 - 100,000 miles*. This is around the same as normal petrol or diesel models. With correct maintenance and servicing, your used hybrid will have a long lifespan, meaning you can enjoy it for longer. *Source: Kwik Fit

What is the range of a hybrid?

The range for a used hybrid depends on the make and model vehicle you buy. Most hybrids typically offer around 20-30 miles for PHEVs, with some offering more than 50 miles.*

With hybrid cars, the range is expected to be lower since the electric motor only kicks in when driving around at lower speeds. Plus, with self-charging models, the battery will charge as you drive meaning you'll never be short of power. *Source: What Car?
