Chrysler Changing the Face of Hybrid Cars

When most people think about hybrid cars, they picture something that looks more at home on a Hot Wheels track than on the highway. Chrysler Group LLC is changing that image when it tests out hybrid trucks and mini-vans next year.

Some of the models that will be getting a hybrid boost include the Ram 1500 pick up trucks and Town & Country mini-vans. These models have been popular through the years, and with the hybrid boost, people will feel better driving them both for the fuel economy and environmental reasons.

Most car companies have been creating cars that conform to the technology or the idea of what a hybrid car looks like or drives like. It is interesting that Chrysler Group is taking models that people already love and then creating hybrid technology for them instead of the other way around. Not every household can get around in a tiny car. Families need big back seats and space for bikes, sports equipment, and backpacks. Some people wouldn't even consider buying a hybrid because they think there are more constraints to hybrid cars, but many people would reconsider that notion after seeing a hybrid Town & Country mini-van.

Keep an eye out for these test truck and mini-vans next year, and for the full line of Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles, stop by Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, located at 212-19 Northern Blvd in Bayside, New York. You can also check out their inventory of vehicles online and follow them on Facebook and Twitter.
