Used Hybrid - Diesel/Electric cars for sale
Diesel hybrid cars offer the same efficient driving experience as petrol hybrid cars but with the added benefits of diesel power. By combining an electric motor with a diesel engine, these cars provide a smooth and powerful acceleration while benefiting from an increased driving range due to the diesel engine's fuel efficiency. This means less time refuelling or recharging and more time on the road.
Diesel hybrid cars emit lower levels of CO2 compared to traditional diesel cars, making them a more environmentally friendly option. Self-charging diesel hybrids rely on the engine and regenerative braking to charge the battery, eliminating the need for external charging, just like petrol hybrids. However, plug-in diesel hybrid cars can take advantage of the charging network available in the UK, offering the convenience of easily accessible charging points.
