More and more drivers are opting for the eco-friendly alternative: plug-in hybrid station wagons. They combine the best of both worlds: spaciousness for the whole family and fuel-efficient driving in everyday life. But what exactly makes these vehicles so special and who are they suitable for?
Plug-in Hybrid Station Wagon: What is it actually?
Basically, a plug-in hybrid station wagon is nothing more than a classic station wagon with an additional electric motor and a larger battery. This hybrid drive allows you to drive short distances purely electrically and thus locally emission-free. For longer distances, the combustion engine kicks in and provides the necessary range.
“Especially for families who travel a lot in everyday life, a plug-in hybrid station wagon offers many advantages,” explains master car mechanic Hans Müller from Hamburg. “The children can be taken to school silently in the morning and the way to work can often be covered purely electrically.”
Who is a Plug-in Hybrid Station Wagon Suitable For?
Basically, a plug in hybrid kombi is suitable for all drivers who want to reduce their ecological footprint and at the same time do not want to forego the flexibility of a station wagon. These vehicles are particularly interesting for:
- Families: Plenty of space for children and luggage, combined with the option of covering short distances emission-free.
- Commuters: Those who travel short to medium distances to work every day can cover the majority of journeys electrically.
- City dwellers: The plug-in hybrid shows its strengths in city traffic, as short distances with many stops are the order of the day here.
What should you pay attention to when buying?
The selection of plug-in hybrid station wagons is constantly growing. It is important to analyze your own needs before buying:
- Electric range: How long are the daily journeys?
- Charging options: Is there a charging option available at home or at work?
- Space: Is the trunk space sufficient for family and luggage?
- Price: Plug-in hybrids are more expensive to purchase than comparable gasoline or diesel vehicles.
