A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

What is the difference between a PHEV and a regular hybrid?

A regular hybrid (HEV) uses a small battery that recharges automatically through regenerative braking and the gas engine. It cannot be plugged in and the electric motor only assists the gas engine; you cannot drive on electricity alone for any meaningful distance. A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) has a larger battery that you charge by plugging in, allowing you to drive 20 to 50 miles on electric power only before the gas engine kicks in. PHEVs offer the best of both worlds but cost more upfront.

Sean and the team are fantastic, and make a complicated process really easy. Not to mention they got us a lease deal on our new jeep at a better price than what we’ve been paying the last 4 years… can’t thank them enough!

My car leasing experience with Vantage was fantastic. Sean took an overwhelming decision and process and made it so easy. He was available morning, noon, and night as well as weekends. He never pressured me and simply gave me facts and possibilities and recommendations. The experience was really amazing from the start and I’m extremely grateful for his help in making the car leasing process manageable. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone looking to buy or lease a car. Sarah

I recently leased a car through Vantage Auto Group in Watchung, NJ, and worked directly with Sean Ulsaker. The experience was nothing short of remarkable. No pressure, no obligation, no haggling—just honest, efficient, and top-tier service.My car broke down on a Monday. I contacted Sean, and by Thursday, I had a new vehicle delivered to my place of business. He guided me through car recommendations, arranged test drives the very next day, handled all the paperwork, and made the entire process seamless. I didn’t even have to leave my office.From now on, I’ll be working exclusively with Vantage Auto and recommending them to anyone looking for a stress-free car leasing experience. Sean and the team truly go above and beyond. thank you Sean for the excellent service. First time leasing a car and not having to take headache pills.Again, thanks! Manny Barrueco

Deborah was a huge help when it came time to trade my car in for a new lease. I didn't know exactly where to start, but I gave her a few of my "must-haves," and she came back with amazing options. Working with Vantage Auto made the entire leasing process seamless and efficient. Once I made my decision, everything was completed within just a few days. They even delivered the car directly to me! All I had to do was sign the paperwork, and I was ready to enjoy my new car. Deborah was communicative, knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish.
