Hybrid vehicles guide
Hybrid car leasing is ideal for customers who want to reduce their environmental impact but aren’t quite ready to commit to an all-electric offering. Leasing a hybrid is also a great way to get a new model at a lower monthly cost too, without having to buy it outright.
Hybrid vehicles combine a traditional combustion engine with an electric motor. This allows drivers to benefit from an eco-friendly powertrain that improves fuel consumption while still having the familiarity of a conventional engine. Whether you’re interested in a plug-in hybrid lease car (PHEV) or a self-charging hybrid, our guides should help you better understand hybrid car leasing.
Discover why hybrid leasing could be the best option for your business and the environment, and answers to the most commonly asked queries, such as how hybrid vehicles work.
