Why aren't Hybrids being introduced into the philippines?

Its the PRIUS bai that runs at 45 MPG , I dont know about the Civic , it should be around the area also . BTW ... wala pa sad na diri sa Pilipinas but they also made HYBRIDS for the CAMRY , ACCORD and the SUV ... Ford ESCAPE .

Ah ok if it's the prius then its the civic who runs 42mpg .hehe ..I'll pick civic instead kay better ang looks kaysa prius hehe ..but if there would be an SUV that would run 40mpg or more ..GO! SUV gyud ko hehe

@ Hobie .. true dili kaayo appealing ang exterior sa Prius compared to the Civic but the interior bai ... it will make the Civic look ancient in technology .

I see ..I checked their websites, mas nice gyud ug features and interior sa Prius bah.

its better to get a honda civic na bag.o kato mo change ang iya displacement..1.8L city driving and 2.0 highway...i dont knw if they have it here...mas economiya cya compared to the prius coz u dnt have to change batteries every 5 years which are really expensive...then gamay ra difference sa MPG compared to the prius...my cousin bought the civic in states since its a better choice

Bai just because we owned a Prius dili ko bias ha , but HYBRIDS are the best options right now for the fuel crisis . Kana imohang gipasabot na mo change ang displacement sa engine engineered by the GM specially for the Cadillac engines namely the NORTHSTAR are for the mere purpose of acquiring more power for a better mileage but its not comparable to the HYBRIDS fuel efficeincy . Layo ra gihapon kaayo ang biya .

Change the batteries of PRIUS every 5 years ? Asa mo gikan ana ?

[hobie]

Wala pa diri bro ..

[jezardavao]

any vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources (ELECTRIC MOTOR+GASOLINE,LPG+GASOLINE, HYDROGEN+GASOLINE) to move the vehicle can be considered as HYBRID CAR

Dili bai.

Hybrids are cars that uses both gas and electric engine. The batteries recharges when the gas engine is used and during braking.

i duno f ds s tru, i asked a frend ho has one (prius) about the savings he gets for buying the car, he told me na very economical if u'r driving in interstates or hiway daw (ang speed limit s around 60 mi/hr), kay kung sa ginagmay lng daw na road (mga 30 to 40 mi/hr), wla daw gamit ang pagpalit ug hybrid...
