Benifits Of Hybrid Cars

There are many benefits from the use of hybrid cars. With the use of this hybrid cars we can reduce fuel consumption to a great extent and can reduce the emissions causing pollutions. But again the technology used in these new cars should be of high quality which meets the set standards. These cars can be bought cheaply in the near future with the advancement in the technology. A lot of these hybrid cars should be brought on to the roads.

Toyota Auris Hybrid (2010): new spyshot

Toyota showed off its Auris Hybrid Concept at this autumn's 2009 Frankfurt motor show – and here's the finished version testing in Europe ahead of launch in autumn 2010.

This will be Toyota's first mainstream hybrid; the Prius has pioneered the petrol-electric technology in a standalone bodystyle, but now the Japanese want to roll out the Hybrid Synergy Drive across its entire volume model range. So the Auris is first of many more Toyotas to wear the HSD hybrid badge of honour.

The 97bhp 1.8-litre petrol-electric drivetrain of the Auris Hybrid is largely shared with the Prius, giving this five-door hatch sub-100g/km CO2 emissions married to 0-62mph performance in around 10sec.
What's new on the Auris Hybrid?

Like on the Prius and Honda's Insight, there are numerous aero tweaks to make the Auris cleave the air more efficiently. Not surprising, as BMW engineers told us this week that the aero wheels on the new ActiveHybrid 7 alone save 2% off fuel consumption.

So there are changes at the front end, and the rear bumpers visible in this spy picture are flatter. They make the car look wider, but are in fact designed to optimise airflow and reduce turbulence and drag. The car sits 20mm lower, has a new rear spoiler and a drag figure of around 0.28cd.
Is the Auris Hybrid really green then?

It should be compared with conventional Auris models - and because it's a full hybrid, it can run on battery power alone in zero-emissions mode. There will be several driving modes selectable by the driver: Eco for maximum efficiency; Power for more performance; EV mode for full electric running for 2km at up to 31mph.

The Auris Hybrid production car scooped here will be built in the UK's Burnaston factory and go on sale in the second half of 2010.

2009 BMW X5

BMW X5 is a car with fresh dynamism. BMW X5 six-cylinder have a round exhaust on each side. The roof spoiler and flat undertray are designed to smooth air flow over the car. With a 0.33 drag factor, naturally this improves top speed, and cuts fuel consumption.

2004 Nissan X-Trail

The only thing not different from Nissan X-Trail is the exterior style. Nissan says the old X-Trail, first launched in 2001 and upgraded in 2004, is selling at about three times early expectations. The biggest change is an extra 17.5 cm in overall length – nearly all of that goes into a bigger boot.

The Concept Of Hybrid Cars

A vehicle which runs on two or more power sources is known to be as a Hybrid vehicle. The same concept even applies to the hybrid cars. There are different types of hybrid cars based on the types of power sources they use. There are two wheeled, three wheeled and four wheeled and many forms of hybrid cars. The online car insurance quotes and auto car insurance prices for available rarely because these types of cars are not yet found prominently on the road.
