Say Hello to world-leading self-charging innovation. Say hello to the Toyota Hybrid Range.
For over 25 years, Toyota has revolutionised motoring with its hybrid vehicle range. A major step forward on Toyota's multi-pathway journey to Carbon Neutral, our hybrids have, in that time, collectively saved more than 120 million tonnes of CO₂ worldwide, compared to equivalent petrol engines. Enjoyed by over 15 million drivers globally, our range of stylish hybrids are ideal for the eco-sensitive individual who still wants the convenience, driving characteristics and user-friendliness of traditional models. With options for everyone, Toyota has you covered for hybrid vehicles.
What is a Toyota Hybrid System?
With two power sources, the Toyota Hybrid System fuses an internal combustion engine's high-speed power with the clean efficiency and low-speed torque of an electric motor. The electric motor is powerful enough to propel the car along at lower speeds (model dependent) – typically around town or if the driver is using gentle acceleration. A clever power control unit and power split device work with a bespoke CVT transmission to optimise performance by seamlessly switching between electric and a blend of petrol and electric power. In addition, through their regenerative braking systems, hybrids can "recycle" kinetic energy that otherwise would have been wasted. Unlike fully electric vehicles, hybrids give off some tailpipe emissions (much less than conventionally propelled vehicles), but they never need to be plugged in. That makes them a good choice for drivers who want to save fuel without going 100-percent electric.
