Toyota Hybrid Electric
The best of both worlds
Toyota Hybrids combine the power of petrol
engines and the fuel savings of electric motors to
give you lower emissions without waiting for the
battery to be charged. 20 years ago we set the
standard with the Prius. Today, we're still leading the
way with our Toyota Hybrid technology for a
cleaner, greener future for all Australians.
How Hybrid cars work
Hybrid vehicles seamlessly combine the power of
petrol engines with the efficiency of electric motors.
In a Hybrid, the battery is recharged while you drive
so it's always ready to go without ever needing to
be plugged in.
Intelligent switching
When stationary or driving in city traffic,
the vehicle can automatically switch to
electric (or EV) mode using zero fuel
and dramatically reducing C02
emissions [G12].
Charges while you
drive
During deceleration or when braking,
the electric motor continue to
generate power, storing it in the
vehicle's battery to keep it charged.
Fast power delivery
When accelerating or cruising at high
speeds, the petrol engine turns on
automatically for extra power and
responsive performance when you
need it.

Capped price servicing
Every new Toyota Hybrid Electric in the range comes with a low capped price service cost for a set number of years or kilometres [TS4]. You'll pay the same low price from one logbook service to the next so that you don't get any unexpected surprises.
This is the TOYOTA SERVICE ADAVANTAGE
Fuel savings
Toyota Hybrid Electric vehicles reduce fuel use.
During deceleration and braking, our Hybrid Electric motor continues to generate power, using momentum to keep your battery charged and take you further on one tank.
Good for the planet, and easy on your pocket.
