These Are The Top 10 Hybrid SUV With Best Mileage
The hybrid SUV uses two or more different types of energy, an internal combustion engine to run the electrical engine that powers the electric motor. For example, diesel-electric trains use diesel engines to run the vehicle that powers the electric motor, and bombers have diesel when surfaced and batteries when submerged.
