Seamlessly combining performance, design, and reliability, there has never been a better time to opt for a hybrid vehicle among Toyota's vast selection of subcompacts, sedans, and SUVs.
WHY CHOOSE A HYBRID TOYOTA VEHICLE?
Power, performance and reliability are here to stay in Toyota hybrids, and we never compromise. Hybrid vehicles do not need to be plugged in; their battery charges by itself while you drive. The hybrid engine doesn't require any additional routine maintenance.
With its hybrid lineup, Toyota has prevented, since 1997, 94 million tons of CO2 emissions globally. Toyota hybrid vehicles allow you to reduce your carbon footprint without changing any of your driving or fuelling habits. With all these benefits and a vast selection of models, why not choose hybrid?
COMBINING ELECTRICITY AND GAS
Toyota hybrids use an electric system as well as a gas-fuelled system. The optimal combination of both is made automatically, without the driver's intervention. These vehicles can, therefore, operate in electric-only mode, gas mode, or a combination of both. The hybridity of the engine produces up to 70% less CO2 emissions than conventional gas-powered vehicles, without compromising performance.
PLUG-IN HYBRID TOYOTA VEHICLES
DISCOVER THE PRIUS PRIME
Toyota's plug-in hybrid vehicles, such as the Prius Prime, can be plugged in to extend the electric autonomy of the vehicle. The Prius Prime can travel further and faster in EV mode than regular hybrid models that do not plug in.
EASY RECHARGING
The Prius Prime has many benefits, such as its charging time. This model has the fastest charging time of its category and does not require any additional equipment.
Starting Up: In most conditions, when the vehicle starts up, only the electric motor is engaged, which saves fuel and delivers instant torque.
Accelerating and Cruising: While driving, the electric and gas motors are used in symbiosis, providing the perfect mix of power without compromising performance. The excess energy is used towards recharging the electric battery.
Decelerating and Braking: During deceleration and braking, the electric motor takes over completely. The regenerative braking system converts kinetic energy into electric energy to recharge the battery.
Resting and Reversing: When the vehicle is stopped, the gas engine shuts down, making room for the electric motor, unless the battery's autonomy is low. This allows you to save on fuel. When reversing at low speed, the hybrid vehicle only uses the electric motor.
Toyota hybrid models offer a range of benefits while combining performance, CO2 emissions reduction and safety. With the most varied hybrid lineup on the market, Toyota has a model for every need and lifestyle.
