In this system, the petrol motor mainly acts as a generator, while the wheels are driven by an electric motor, improving fuel economy, especially in city conditions.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-480c6a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"480c6a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why Hybrid SUVs Make Sense in India <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f7ae74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f7ae74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn India, the electrification movement is a slow process because consumers are affected by range anxiety and the high price of EVs would also be a limiting factor. Hybrids are a middle ground between the two, they provide cheaper running costs and lower emissions without asking too much change in habits by the consumer. These cars enable the car owners to refuel at the gas stations of the highest quality as they improve on the mileage and decreasing the tailpipe emissions. For manufacturers, hybrids help meet strict emission norms without shifting entirely to electric platforms.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hybrid cars sold more than electric cars in the first half of 2025 and exceeded 52,000 units, with a year [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":54105,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-popular-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54091"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54091\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
