  The Facts About Hybrid Cars

  • Easy to drive - the Hybrid system controls itself and all Toyota Hybrid cars are automatic.
  • Two engines working in tandem - Hybrid gives you the best of both worlds switching seamlessly and quietly between electric at lower speeds and using petrol-power when needed.
  • Batteries that never need to be plugged in - excess power from the engine and regenerative braking recharges the battery so you don't need to worry about plugging in.
  • There's a Hybrid for everyone - with seven different models to choose from across the range we now have something for everyone.
  • Easy on your wallet and the environment - our Hybrid cars save you fuel but also money. Less fuel also means low emissions. Many of our hybrids boast the lowest CO2 emissions in their classes.

• Life's easy in a Hybrid car, just get in and drive

  Our Hybrid cars have been designed to be as easy to drive as possible. When you hit the power button there’s no noise, just a prompt that you’re ready! And as the Hybrid system controls itself, and all Toyota Hybrid cars are automatic, you just slot the gear lever in Drive and enjoy seamless power on every trip.

• Hybrid: Two engines working in tandem

  Riding in our Hybrid cars you’ll enjoy hearing more of what’s important as their hushed electric power delivers you around town. This electric hit blends seamlessly with efficient petrol-power at higher speeds and, at the moment you need it most, two become one – as both engines work in tandem – to power you ahead.

• Batteries that never need to be plugged in

  There’s no need to worry about how far you’re travelling in our Hybrid cars, just fill up with fuel and continue on your way, just as you would in any conventional car. And when the battery does run low, excess power from the engine charges it back up again. And that’s not all, whenever you brake, energy is recycled to charge the battery too – so nothing gets wasted.

• There's a Hybrid for everyone

  Our Hybrid story began in 1997 with the innovator: the award-winning Prius.
