First enjoy a video introduction of 2009 hybrid cars. Our Manufacturer pages (i.e Honda, etc.) have even more videos for detailed coverage of every major automaker.
The table below presents the 2009 Hybrid Cars by vehicle class. The table includes the new hybrid cars and new 2009 hybrid SUVs which are currently available for nationwide purchase.
This is a subset of those on our "Highest MPG" pages, presenting only the new 2009 hybrid cars. The table provides hybrid car prices (base MSRP) along with each vehicles' calculated Carbon Footprint (tons per year CO2)
The carbon footprint measures greenhouse gas emissions expressed in CO2 equivalents. The estimates presented here are "full fuel-cycle estimates" and include the three major greenhouse gases emitted by motor vehicles: carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane. Full fuel-cycle estimates consider all steps in the use of a fuel, from production and refining to distribution and final use. Vehicle manufacture is excluded.

Don't see some of the regulars? Don't worry, new 2009 hybrids will continue to be added here as manufacturers unveil their models and EPA releases their mileage data.
