2010 Toyota Prius
With its third-generation Prius, Toyota remains
top dog in the hybrid market. Starting at $22,000,
it’s still one of the most affordable hybrids. It’s a
“parallel” hybrid: The 80-horsepower (60-kilowatt)
electric motor and a gas engine work together to
produce an average 50 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving. The latest Prius
also features an optional solar-powered ventilation system, which uses an electric fan to draw
outside air through the cabin when the car is
parked in the sun. This reduces cabin temperature to make the car’s interior more comfortable
when reentering the vehicle.

2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid
The Fusion can travel up to 47 mph (75 kilometers per hour) on electric power alone. The electric
motor is powered by a nickel-metal hydride battery
pack. When more power is needed, the car’s 2.5-liter
Atkinson-Cycle I- 4 gasoline engine kicks in. The electric and gas power sources combine for 41 miles
per gallon in the city and 36 mpg on the highway.
Starting at $27,270, the Fusion can travel more than
700 miles on a single tank of gas.

2010 Lexus HS 250h
The main Lexus entry in the luxury hybrid
category is the new 2010 HS 250h, featuring a
four-cylinder gas engine supplemented by a
30-kilowatt (40-horsepower) electric motor. At a
combined 35 miles per gallon, it can’t compete
with smaller hybrids in fuel economy, but it’s the
most fuel-efficient Lexus ever. It also features an
exhaust-heat recovery system and regenerative
braking. The HS 250h can be driven in three different modes: maximum power, maximum fuel
economy or electric-only drive (short distances
at low speeds). Base price: $34,200.

2010 Honda Insight
The 2010 Insight bears no resemblance to
the original two-seater 1999 Insight, the first
hybrid introduced in North America. With a
$20,000 base price, the new five-seater is the
lowest-priced hybrid available now. It’s a parallel hybrid: The Integrated Motor Assist uses
an electric motor, powered by a nickel-metal
hydride battery pack, to boost the power of the
gasoline engine. The Insight gets 41 miles per
gallon in combined highway and city driving.
With the touch of the Insight’s Econ button, the
driver can minimize the vehicle’s overall energy
use and maximize fuel economy.
