Cloth vs. Leather Options + Heated Seats
If yours has the leather plus heated seats, that's a strong amenity in colder climates. If yours includes heated mirrors & cloth/ leather combo, those are bonus touches. J.D. Power+1

Eco-Conscious Choice
For buyers who care about emissions, environmental impact, or just want to reduce their fuel consumption. Hybrid = less gas, fewer emissions.

Lower Cost of Ownership
Lower fuel costs, plus many maintenance items are similar to non-hybrids; hybrid system is designed to be durable. If you’ve kept up with maintenance, that’s a big selling point.

Good Resale Value / Demand
Hybrids tend to hold interest, especially among people who drive a lot or who are interested in saving fuel. If the car is in good shape, there’s a niche of buyers out there.

Feature Rich for the Year
Back in 2013, many of the features SEL offered were premium: dual-zone climate control, remote start (if included), ambient lighting, in-floor storage, power liftgate, etc. If your car has many optional packages, that’s even better. Web2Carz+2
