I've been torn between the Avalon Hybrid and the purely gasoline version. The advantage of the hybrid is fuel efficiency. What about its drawbacks?

Consider a 2.0L pure gasoline vehicle without a particulate filter from Hebei, or perhaps another car.

If you drive over 20,000 kilometers a year, choose a hybrid. If you drive around 10,000 kilometers, go for a petrol engine.

As long as gasoline cars are not discontinued, I will always choose pure gasoline.

My mom feels a bit carsick in my hybrid. Can we arrange a test drive in advance to see how it feels?

There's nothing to be confused about, just an 8k difference.

The downside is that it's expensive by 18,000 RMB.

The hybrid isn't as good as expected, the engine engages frequently.

There's nothing to be confused about. For city driving, go for a hybrid, and for highways, choose a pure fuel vehicle.

The main issue is that the price is high, and there's also the problem with the particle filter.

If you've got the money, go for the hybrid—it's not only fuel efficient but also offers a better driving experience than a gasoline-only engine. If you're on a budget, go for the base model; it's a great way to get more for less.
