What are mild hybrids, and are they right for you?

Hybrid cars are the new wave right and there are so many different types to choose from. Among them, there is one becoming a hot topic – a mild hybrid. But what is a mild hybrid? Our Clermont Toyota specialists are Making it Simple ™ by answering your questions. Let’s get started.

What is a mild hybrid and how does it work?

If you think about it like mild, medium, and hot on the electrified car scale – hot would be EVs, medium would be full hybrids, and mild would be…mild hybrids! Mild hybrids use a very small electric battery and electric motor. The electric battery charges by regenerative braking. Are you getting hungry?

Mild hybrid vs full hybrid: How do they differ?

Going on trend with food – when it comes to restaurants,  they often have different mild vs medium spice levels. But, it’s really different when it comes to mild hybrid vs full hybrid cars. To step away from the food category (we know you're hungry now…), let’s get into the difference between these two types of hybrids.

To start, full hybrids have a larger battery and a larger electric motor – which gives them a more electrified feel than mild hybrids.

Also, Clermont Toyota full hybrids can power your vehicle without gas for short distances and very slow speeds. Mild hybrids don’t have this option at all. 

You’re being more eco-friendly with a full hybrid because they cut down on emissions -as noted, the electric motor can sometimes power the vehicle by itself.

You’ll save more money with a full hybrid because of the significant amount of fuel savings you’ll get. Sure, mild hybrids will cut down on some fuel costs, but not nearly as much as a 2024 Clermont Toyota full hybrid.

Back to food – you’re gonna want the medium in the end. Consider the medium choice a hybrid like the 2024 Clermont Toyota Prius. 

Ready to save some gas money with a full hybrid? Call today!

We would love to help you answer any questions you may have regarding mild hybrids. Toyota doesn’t sell mild hybrids, but we have plenty of full Toyota hybrids and are expecting even more to be added to the Toyota lineup! Give us a call at (352) 404-7000. We’re located just off the Florida Turnpike at 16851 State Road 50 Clermont, FL, 34711.

Just made a new car wishlist that can be boiled down to:

- it goes

- it plays music

- it does technology things I actually know about, all of which have either become industry standard in the last 5 years or are not yet publicly available

New 2024 Ford Ranger EV Pickup, Specs, Release Date

New 2024 Ford Ranger EV Pickup, Specs, Release Date

New 2024 Ford Ranger EV Pickup, Specs, Release Date – Given the early popularity of the Ford F-150 Lightning, the automaker’s initial hints of a second electric pickup did not come as much of a surprise. The all-new Ranger is the ideal choice, and the truck’s head engineer verified that the truck’s new platform is entirely electrified-ready. CarBuzz unearthed further proof when Ford trademarked…

If you know me outside of Tumblr, don't tell my mom

I said goodbye to my old car last night. Vivid green 2012 Hyundai Accent hatchback. That thing had stellar fuckin gas mileage (for a non-hybrid anyway, I could squeeze like 40mpg out of it if I tried), hauled around way too much shit, played FAFO with black ice, was stolen in Amarillo, TX and recovered south of Oklahoma City, OK - and for context, I live in Indianapolis - back in 2018, and transported many friends and even some coworkers. It also has had kernels of dry field corn in the floorboard for the past two years. Oh, and I broke the frickin passenger side mirror by backing out of the garage too close.

Her name was Arachnaverde because she was green and I kept an anatomically incorrect spider skeleton (halloween decoration) on the dashboard. Spood's job was to let me know when I was taking a turn too fast. He would skitter away if I did.

Prior to Arachnaverde, I had a 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme that I called Madame Blueberry. She was a lovely teal color, had two doors, and I once forgot an entire watermelon in the back floorboard in college and it rotted and stank so badly. -4/10 do not recommend. Also her trunk had loose soybeans from when I took a few dried soybean plants for some reason or another. ADHD be like that sometimes.

Prior to Madame Blueberry, I had an unnamed charcoal gray 89 Mercury Grand Marquis. This car had one interesting anecdote, and 3 notable events.

In the long long ago when I was still in junior college (2 year college for people who live in states that don't fuck with junior colleges), I left it overnight in the college parking lot for some reason I no longer recall. When I retrieved it in the morning, someone had used car window paint to write "HOOPTY" on the back windshield. To be fair, it was.

That car was how I learned not to leave a can of silly string in a hot car. Did you know if a can of silly string gets hot enough it will straight up explode? I didn't until I found a really messy plastic bag and blue spatters all over the roof of my car.

I used to park under a specific tree in front of the house, because I lived with my parents on a farm, and the garage was for my mom's vehicle, no one else's. Dad's main ride parked in the patch of ground between the barnyard fence and the garage (dad's parking spot, mostly), and the farm truck parked in the barnyard. Anyway, point is, I parked under a tree which worked quite well for many years except at the very end a large fragment of dead tree pierced my car *right* in front of the hood so I had a rough rectangle of Missing Car for the tail end of my ownership.

Anyway, I've known for months that I needed to get a new car. Needed new front struts, a replacement sensor in the steering column, new back brakes, new front tires.... I tried back in May but for some reason the car I found just didn't vibe with me (Mitsubishi Mirage). It was kinda noisy, very basic. Also very cheap.

Last week, the stars aligned and I found a hopeful prospect with low mileage, decent mpg, and within my budget.

So now I have a new-to-me brick of tofu (white Kia Soul 2020).

I have said my farewells to the green beast, and look forward to what kind of adventures I'll get into with the as-of-yet-unnamed toaster.

So far the best name I've come up with is Tofungus because I am awful. I definitely want to give it a black horizontal stripe and add the "Fujiwara Tofu Shop" decal to the side because i'm a fuckin weeb and also did you know there's a sequel to Initial D this season? I'm enjoying it.

2024 Volvo XC60 Recharge AWD Ultimate Dark Theme Review

Handsome, stylish interior and roomy for a family, plus it's a plug-in hybrid that provides a 34-mile charge overnight. Volvo's XC60 is sharp!

Easy plug-in hybrid boosts mpg with 34-mile charge … Sometimes not much changes in a model between test drives, which shouldn’t be a surprise if the car or SUV was pretty much spot on originally. That’s mostly the case this week with the 2024 Volvo XC60 Recharge AWD Ultimate Dark Theme. Another thing that doesn’t change is Volvo’s propensity for extremely long model names. Plus, some models in…

I'm kinda salty about the $75 hybrid surcharge Wisconsin levies (and the $175 electrical vehicle surcharge, but that hasn't effected me personally), but if I squint, I think there's a sliver of justification to it. The legislature's justification is that hybrids use less fuel, and thus contribute less to the public coffers in gasoline taxes, but still inflict wear and tear, congestion, etc on roads. That's at least gesturing in the direction of something that's justified.

If you're just going to observe that gasoline consumption isn't proportional to total externalized costs, though, that implies that you should redesign your tax system to reflect that reality, not just slap a $75 surcharge on hybrids!

Like, wear and tear on roads? That's about proportional to the fourth power of vehicle weight (assuming we're talking about two-axle vehicles). So if you compare a gasoline-only Toyota Corolla LE (35 average mpg, 3255 lbs (2955 lbs curb weight, stipulating 300 lbs for passengers etc)) to a gasoline-only Cadillac Escalade Sport Premium (16 average mpg, 6123 lbs weight (5823 lbs curb, stipulating 300 lbs for passengers)), then the Escalade is paying 2.19 times as much in gasoline taxes, but inflicting 12.52 times as much road wear.

A weight-based road wear charge would, in fact, tend to hit hybrid and electric vehicles harder than pure ICE vehicles, because hybrids and electrical vehicles are, generally heavier for comparable vehicles. That's okay if it's based on reality! Road wear fees based on road wear, congestion fees based on congestion, all fine!

Putting an arbitrary fee on more efficient powertrain technologies because they don't contribute enough in gas taxes, though, seems like a profoundly backwards policy idea.

A fun thing about having s hybrid car is that everyone wants to kill you. You go man my mileage has really sucked lately because of all the freeway driving it’s been tanked by s solid 10 mpg. And If someone makes the mistake of engaging. And going. Oh geez what’s it down to? You go. 46.8 mpg. :( And then the looney tunes chase scene starts and eventually culminates with the tree you’re hiding up bring cut down and falling into a ravine

[strangerthings1975]

After MONTHS of avoiding MPG spoilers, a tiktok just spoiled me in a pretty major way and I’m so upset rn… there’s absolutely NO rush in posting because I know you’ve had a lot going on, but can you tell me if the last chapter is, like, a prologue (as opposed to a regular final chapter)? And/or if the fic is safe to read (meaning where it ended is happy) as is without the last chapter? I just want to read it before I get spoiled more but i also usually don’t read incomplete fics so I’m super torn with what to do right now. Thanks <3

Omg I am so sorry. :(( I’m grateful you’re still willing to read it though bc I know being spoiled can sort of wreck the entire desire to consume a piece of media. So thank you. 🖤🖤

For sure yes if you read it as is, (up to chapter 25 with only 1 to go), it’s happy ending!! Chapter 26 is wrapping up loose ends with side characters and showing more of Steve and Eddie’s relationship after the happily ever after. So like hybrid epilogue and actual chapter if that makes sense.

So if you choose to read it now, you will be totally fine and not left to sit with sad feelings. I know many readers are satisfied with the ending and won’t be checking in for 26. Chapter 26 is more for the die-hards who crave *more*. Like a bonus, if you will.

Or if you choose to wait, it shouldn’t be too much longer before I finish it bc I want to get it done before the end of the month.

I hope that info helps. 🖤🖤🖤

I currently drive an Audi; I bought it when I was making a bit more money and the economy wasn’t so bad. It keeps having problems and is very expensive to maintain. I’m struggling with the idea of “downgrading” to a more economical vehicle…though I know material possessions don’t determine our worth and I’m likely being prideful. I struggle with the fear of what others will think if I get a less expensive car. As someone trying to grow as a newer Christian, I know this line of thought is not right. Do you have any advice on how to not care what others may think of me, or how to accept I may have to make a “wise” decision in getting a non-luxury vehicle?

Hi, I hear you! I've had friends with BMWs, Mercedes, and Audis and the repairs on them can get to be a bit much. I'm personally not a fan of luxury vehicles and I drove one for a few years as my work car; but I'm more into off the beaten path/woodsy/adventurous luxury you could say, a rustic-British Land Rover or older Land Cruiser (my dad had one growing up and it was my favorite). I guess those can be expensive, too! I live in an area where a lot of people define themselves by their homes and their cars, but for me a flaunting of something is a non-cool thing. I think it's cool to not really care, just drive what makes you happy, even if that is a luxury care you can afford. I'm not into luxury as aforementioned, but there are so many other great options out there. I've heard great things about the Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid and don't be afraid to get something used. I've had a used hybrid for the last 5 years and it's not my dream car (but who actually cares, it's a great car that has zero maintenance/repairs besides the occasional oil change and gets 50-60 mpg), I paid less than $10k in cash for it, and it's relatively kept it's value 5 years later. Just get a decent brand (I would tend to advise for Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Mazda), buy used, avoid payments if possible (but not the worst thing if it can't be avoided), and drive it as long as you can.

We all care a little what people think, everyone does, but we make the choice of how much we let that affect us. We all have different seasons, too, of perhaps owning nice things more than at other times, but as believers we know that does not define us and can in fact be a stumbling block if we use things to make up for where we feel we are lacking with others instead of remembering we're here to glorify God, not bring attention to ourselves per se. : ) It's not about us, really.

Today I

Had an unmasked Safeway delivery driver refuse to take my empty bags back to the store for recycling because covid.

Had yet more conversations with Safeway & the company that manages home shopping.

Washed the duvet cover & figured out how to put it in without having to climb inside it after ohhhh 30 years?

Put away yesterday’s laundry.

Didn’t do yoga. Didn’t go outside.

Talked to my doctor.

Tried to look at car listings and cried a lot. Why do Subarus have such crappy mpg? There are some hybrids in my price range but will they be there in a month?

So unhappy. So different than depression. So much worse.

2023 Toyota Crown Overview

Toyota Crown, a new high-riding sedan with the shape of a hatchback (though it has a conventional trunk), hybrid-only powertrains and truly funky styling. Toyota often plays it too safe with its new vehicles, so it's nice to see the company really swinging for the fences with the Crown.

t has been 50 years since Toyota last sold its Crown sedan in the U.S., but the model was introduced in Japan in 1955 as the Toyopet Crown. It has been Toyota's mainstream sedan there ever since, the choice of families, executives, taxi drivers, and police.

The 2023 Crown, now in its 16th generation, is back in the States as the three-trim, all-hybrid, all-wheel-drive, tall-roofed, fastback-styled four-door replacing the venerable Toyota Avalon sedan. It is almost the same size, inside and out, as the Honda Accord and Volkswagen Arteon sedans.

The Crown's tall roofline and high seating position have generated some debate. But there's no denying that it is eye-catching, especially in the optional two-tone color scheme available with the top Platinum trim.

By positioning the Crown as a premium model, Toyota is telling shoppers that this is a special vehicle, not to be confused with other midsize sedans. By offering two hybrid powertrains, one of them more performance-oriented, Toyota hopes the Crown will appeal to those seeking fuel efficiency and creature comforts as well as those hoping for a bit of twisty country road fun.

We found that generally, it succeeds but still falls short on driving excitement, even with the 340-horsepower hybrid system and adaptive suspension that come exclusively with the Platinum trim.

Competition in the non-luxury large sedan segment is almost gone. Three rivals — the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Nissan Maxima — are being discontinued in 2023. That leaves the Accord Hybrid and VW Arteon. Some shoppers might consider the Genesis G80, Audi A6, and Volvo S90 mild hybrids, all of which cost more and aren't likely to be cross-shopped with the Toyota Crown. Based on appearance and premium content, though, the Crown can proudly hold its head high in that crowd.

All the Platinum's performance enhancements come at a serious penalty to fuel economy. Toyota estimates this version of the Crown will return 27 mpg in combined driving — a fairly unimpressive figure compared to other sedans with non-hybrid powertrains. The current Avalon V6, for instance, produces a bit less power and has a 26 mpg combined estimate, as does the BMW 540i with its marginally less potent turbocharged inline-six. On paper, the Crown Platinum's powertrain seems heavy and overengineered without much benefit to the driver compared to other options.
