The Latest Trend Of Hybrid Cars
Hybrid cars are the craze these days with their advanced features, modern design, and fuel economy leaving fewer impacts on the environment. The latest models of hybrid cars encompass many new trends that are absent in ordinary vehicles. Some of these latest trends are mentioned below:
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is the ultimate bonus point of a hybrid car. It gives you a lot of leverage on your fuel consumption and the monthly gasoline bills. Although hybrid cars have always been known for their fuel economy capabilities, latest models are more efficient than the older ones. Additionally, they also come at much lower rates as compared to the earliest models of hybrid cars.
The combination of electric motor driver and a gasoline engine helps in a better performance on the road. The electric motor is perfect for a normal driving routine while the gasoline engine can be used on highways and mountainous tracks. The mileage on the electric motor has also been improved in the latest models of hybrid cars.
Design
Hybrid cars have attained an almost unparallel advantage over ordinary cars. The differentiating factor is the availability of sleek designs and modern accessories that come with these vehicles. Most hybrid cars now come with great designs and unique colours. Additionally, they keep the green factor in mind and ensure a complete compliance with the environment safety rules. The designs are thus totally environment friendly.
Exterior
Apart from the modern design, the latest trend in hybrid cars is the inclusion of technology for driving guidance. Parking assistance software, for example, help in a quick parking of a hybrid vehicle, including a complete guidance of difficult parallel parking. The exterior lights are brighter and consume very less energy as compared to an ordinary vehicle.
Interior
The interior of the new breed of hybrid cars is equally plush as is its interior. The modern style seating comes in leather with a high emphasis on the comfort factor. The seats are wider than the older models and are equipped with modern seat adjustment features that are adjusted through a remote control. Entertainment features are also installed including audio system, DVD players and TV screens. One can also install individual LCD screens at the back side of the front seats to give your car a touch of a modern airliner.
Transmission
Transmission system of the latest hybrid vehicles is that it can accommodate eight different speed levels in a quick succession. The brake system of the new breed of hybrid cars is completely based on electronics and gives a better performance on road. The braking is fast, but does not cause an abrupt braking that can injure the passengers or the vehicle.
New models of hybrid cars come equipped with electronic stability controls that help in a better driving experience and increased road safety. They are also equipped with Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VIDS) that helps the drivers in controlling the vehicle without any difficulty.

Detroit 2008: new Mercedes-Benz E-Class uses up to 23 percent less fuel
Filed under: Diesel , MPG , Mercedes Benz , Detroit Auto Show Click to enlarge “Safe, comfortable, efficient.” That’s the tag-line for the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class that is making a preview appearance here in Detroit before being officially unveiled in Geneva in March. While we’re happy to send you over to Autoblog for the details on minor details like the improved interior and the driver alert system to keep you from dozing off at the wheel. What we’re interested in is this line: The new E-class gets “up to 23 percent lower fuel consumption.” Two gasoline engine options – a V6 and a V8 – will be complemented by a 3.0 liter BlueTEC diesel engine (coming in model year 2010). The BlueTec will be ULEV and Bin 5 compliant; it gets 44.38 mpg (US) and emits 139 g/km of CO 2 . The 23 percent number (OK, “up to” 23 percent) comes from gains Mercedes made with those direct-injection four- and six-cylinder gas engines. We’ll try and find out more here in Detrois. The big “eco” news from MB this show remains the BlueZero concepts , but we didn’t want to forget the cars that will actually be on the road soon.

Using a 6-speed DSG dual clutch transmission, the Concept BlueSport gets 54.7 mpg (US); punch the Eco mode button to get 57.36 mpg in city driving – see what we mean about loving diesels?
