    Driven: 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid

    In that sense, the most impressive part of this Ford is the strain-free powertrain. Although the C-Max uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and a relatively small engine (2.0-liter four cylinder with 141 horsepower), it was able to accelerate pretty easily in urban traffic or on...

    Quick Drive: 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE

    It wasn’t until we settled down and drove civilly that we were able to appreciate what was “just right” about the Camry Hybrid’s powertrain. Namely, that it wasn’t a vehicle for going fast, but rather delivering just enough power for the average on-road situation while returning simply excellent...

    Comfort/Involvement Index: 2012 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid

    Due to its size, it’s obviously not meant to provide much in terms of sportiness. That doesn’t mean it is totally boring. A blown V-6 and torquey electric motor make the Touareg Hybrid shockingly quick for a large SUV, especially off the line. Still, the drivetrain doesn’t offer much sonically...

    Quick Drive: 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid

    The three-hour charge time is downright reasonable when compared to a Volt or Leaf, which can take anywhere from nine to 13 hours to recharge (based on our experience). And like the Volt, there’s absolutely no sense of range anxiety, as once the battery is drained, the car becomes a standard...

    Need hybrid bike suggestions?

    I am looking into getting a hybrid bike, and not sure what kind to get. I mostly want to use it for recreational riding, but if I get a little over zealous, I might test it out in a sprint tri over the summer (more for the actual finish, not for any records). I am looking for a lightweight...

    Is buying a Toyota Camry (Hybrid) Dangerous or a bad idea?

    Hi, so my boyfriend is in the market for a new car. His mom is really loyal to Toyota since she and her husband have used the brand for years and say it's reliable and durable. Now, they live in China and maybe things are different there? I'm kinda scared of Toyota because of the bad reputation...
