Drivers looking for a comfortable, functional, fuel efficient vehicle have been turning to hybrids now more than ever before. Hybrids, using gas and electric or a combination of both, are designed to not need as much fuel. One of the best parts about owning a hybrid is the less frequent stops at the gas station. With their growing popularity, hybrids are available across the market, which makes it more difficult for drivers to determine which one is best for them. We’re bringing the most iconic hybrid on the market, the 2015 Toyota Prius, head-to-head with the 2015 Honda Civic Hybrid to help you compare two popular options in the hybrid category.
The 2015 Toyota Prius is a hatchback, and the 2015 Honda Civic Hybrid is a sedan, but they have very similar qualities when it comes to price and seating.
