Here Are All The Hybrid Cars Launched in 2023

With electric vehicles slowly gaining in popularity, it is only a matter of time before all new vehicles eventually would be some sort of electric. However, before that time comes, hybrid cars are a good solution to those who want new tech but don’t want all-electric vehicles. This year’s hybrid launches include MPV people movers, a supercar, a sports car and even a sedan. Here is a list of all the hybrid cars launched in 2023:

Honda City Hybrid 

Honda refreshed the 5th-gen City hybrid with minor design changes, new feature additions and introduced a lower trim to make the car more affordable. With the prices ranging between Rs 18.89 lakh and Rs 20.39 lakh, the City e:HEV comes with a 1.5L petrol engine and two electric motors. The combined system output is 126PS and 253 Nm. It must be noted that the City hybrid is the first hybrid in the mass-market segment. Take a look at the full review of the Honda City for more details. 

Maruti Suzuki Invicto

Despite being the rebadged version of the Toyota Innova Hycross, Maruti Suzuki has introduced a few changes like the updated grille, signature elements inside the LED headlamps, front bumper and rear tail lamps.
