Which hybrid car manufacturers can I lease?

Some of the world's leading car manufacturers make petrol hybrid cars that are considered the best in the market, including Honda, Toyota and Hyundai, all of which have a brand-new range of models available to lease.

Are hybrids being phased out?

New hybrids will be banned from sale in 2035 - five years after new petrol and diesel cars are phased out - as part of the global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with climate change targets.

Are hybrid cars cheap to lease?

A hybrid lease is one of the most affordable ways to own a brand-new hybrid model. Because petrol hybrid cars use sophisticated engine technology to combine combustion and electric drivetrains, they aren't cheap to buy. For example, currently the cheapest hybrid model on the market is the Toyota Yaris, which starts from around £20,000. However, a lease deal breaks down this expense into manageable instalments, with a Yaris lease starting from around £208 per month.

Q: What are the different types of hybrid cars

- Mild hybrid: mild hybrids use an electric motor alongside a combustion engine, but they can’t be powered by one or the other independently. Instead, a small electric motor assists the engine, providing modest power and efficiency boosts. You don’t need to charge a mild hybrid car because the engine does this automatically. - Full hybrid: full hybrids have an electric motor and combustion engine that can work simultaneously or independently. The electric motors are bult into the car’s drivetrain, meaning you can drive the car in electric-only mode, albeit at low speeds and for limited distances. You don’t need to charge a full hybrid car because the engine does this automatically. - Plug-in hybrid: a plug-in hybrid vehicle uses a bigger onboard battery that needs to be charged once empty. These models provide much better electric-only ranges (usually around 30 miles), meaning you won’t have to use fuel when commuting locally. It’s important that you remember to charge the battery, otherwise your car will use a lot more fuel carrying an empty, heavy battery pack around.

Q: Do hybrid cars need to be charged?

Not all hybrid cars need to be charged. Those that do are called plug-in hybrids, or PHEVs. The other forms of hybrid cars include mild hybrids and full hybrids, or MHEVs and HEVs, both of which use excess energy from the engine and kinetic energy from braking to charge the battery.

Q: What is the range for hybrid cars?

Plug-in hybrids can travel the furthest on electric-only power, with an average range of around 30 miles between charges, but this will depend on the size of your hybrid car's battery. Full hybrid cars can also travel on electric-only power, but their range is even more modest than that of a plug-in hybrid and usually their EV mode only works at lower speeds, meaning they're best used in stop-start city and urban environments for fuel-saving benefits.

Q: How long do hybrid batteries last?

This depends on the make and model of hybrid car that you decide to lease. On average, though, you can expect a hybrid battery that's been regularly maintained according to the manufacturer handbook to last at least around 150,000 miles.

Q: What happens if a hybrid car's battery goes flat?

An advantage of hybrid cars is that they're partly powered by a petrol or diesel engine, so if your battery runs out of charge, it's not the end of the world. In mild hybrid and full hybrid models, the battery will automatically charge, using excess energy from the combustion engine, so you won't have to worry about using a charging point. If you have a plug-in hybrid car, you'll need to charge it once the battery is flat, otherwise you'll use a lot more fuel as your car will be lugging an empty battery pack around.

Q: Do I need to install a home charger?

If you decide to lease a plug-in hybrid car, you may want to install a home charger for extra convenience, but it's not a necessity. Most PHEV cars are enabled with fast charging and there are more than 42,000 charging points in the UK, so you won't be short of options for charging your new hybrid car.

Q: Are hybrid cars manual or automatic?

Almost all hybrid cars are automatic because the way the combustion engine and electric motor combine allows the motor to cut in and out automatically, without need for gear changes. It is possible to have a manual hybrid car, however, this would likely take away the efficiencies of these models. They're also easier to drive as a result of being automatic, especially in city and urban environments where stop-start traffic is commonplace.

Q: What is the cheapest hybrid car to lease?

Currently, our cheapest hybrid car lease deal is the Toyota Yaris, which is available for around £197 per month.

Q: Which hybrid car has the longest range?

The Toyota RAV4 PHEV tops the charts when it comes to range in hybrid cars, with an official WLTP range of 46 miles between charges.

Hybrid car leasing is the best way to reduce vehicle emissions and still be able to complete long journeys, without needing to worry about battery range.
