Hybrid options at Honda Dealers in BC

More and more drivers are going green by choosing cars with hybrid technologies from Honda Dealers BC locations.

What is a hybrid car?

All Honda dealers BC locations offer the hybrid Insight, plus a few other models with hybrid fuel technology options. The term hybrid doesn't always mean that the car is running a combined gas and electric powered engine, such as the one found in the Insight. Honda dealers BC locations have cars that use natural gas, feature an all-electric engine and have other types of combined power technologies that all fall under the hybrid umbrella. The basic definition of what makes a car a hybrid really comes from what it is not. Hybrid cars carried at Honda dealers BC stores are not fossil fuel dependent vehicles. They may use gasoline, but only as a part of their overall power system.
