NO. The Smart Car is not a hybrid and receives no tax break. It has a 3 cylinder 71 h.p. gasoline engine. The Smart gets around 40 mpg but requires the use of Premium fuel. This is equal to a car burning Regular fuel and getting 36 mpg. Not a good trade off for this tiny car. There are larger cars that do just as well on Regular fuel. Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, just to name two.
Jacob Lohner was one of the inventors of the hybrid smart car.
Smart cars are uglier, but better for our environment.
A hybrid car can be easy or difficult to steal depending on its security apparatus
You still need a key to enter a smart or hybrid car. What you do not need to start the engine in the same way as for a petrol or diesel engine. What you will need to do is enable the power on button in a smart car with the key to start the electric motor in the smart car.
One of the best reasons to buy a hybrid vehicle is due to the likeness factor. A hybrid car runs just like an ordinary vehicle. There is a common misconception that a hybrid car is a lot louder than an ordinary car. Actually, the truth is just the opposite. A hybrid car is nearly silent when it runs on the roads. For parents with noisy kids, this will be a godsend!
If you use water for fuel gas prices will no longer be an issue. In addition, your car would no longer require gasoline and will be environmentally friendly. You will also qualify for the hybrid car tax return!
While hybrid cars are definitely much better than their full-on gasoline cousins, they are still very much tied to the rampant fluctuation found in foreign oil markets. Due to this, it is actually very preferable to buy an electric smart car over a hybrid. This is because you have so much more control over where your fuel comes from since you can choose to buy from local sustainable energy production facilities.
Any car that is labeled as a "hybrid" is going to be more fuel efficient. Some of the most fuel-efficient cars of 2011 are the Nissan Leaf, the Telsa Roadster, the Chevrolet Volt, the Smart car, the Toyota Prius, and the Honda Civic Hybrid.
