Toyota Hybrid Electric Vehicles
The best of both worlds
The Hybrid Electric experts
Over two decades ago, we set the global standard with the Prius. Toyota’s
Electrified range of vehicles demonstrate our commitment to the continued
evolution of alternative powertrains and a future with improved mobility for
all.
HYBRID ELECTRIC BENEFITS
Why Hybrid Electric technology is a
smart choice
Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) combine the power of petrol engines
with the efficiency of electric motors. While the motor directly powers the wheels,
the petrol engine automatically turns on to support heavy acceleration and
high-speed cruising. This means small trips under a speed of 50km/h
might not use any petrol (dependent on driving style).
A winning combination
Toyota HEVs combine the best qualities
of electric motors and petrol engines to
create a vehicle that doesn’t compromise
performance.
More peace of mind
Toyota Hybrid Electric Vehicles offer
superb fuel economy. You’ll go further
and last longer between refills, so don’t
be afraid to plan those longer road trips.
Effortless acceleration
Unlike standalone petrol engines, electric
motors provide full power in an instant.
This means Toyota Hybrid Electric
Vehicles have impressive acceleration for
a controlled, efficient take-off.
Charges while you drive
There’s no need to plug in a Toyota Hybrid
Electric Vehicle. During deceleration or
braking, energy from the internal petrol
combustion engine is
captured, converted into
electricity and stored inthe batteries.
Electric in EV Mode
Toyota Hybrid Electric Vehicles allow you
to drive using electric power under
certain conditions. EV Mode disengages
the petrol engine unless it’s needed.
Reduced tailpipe emissions
Through intelligent switching and using
less petrol, you reduce the creation of
CO2 and other harmful gasses usually
emitted from a petrol car’s tailpipe.
See for yourself how the Toyota
Hybrid Electric system delivers
outstanding performance and
efficiency.
Myth #1
“You can’t drive long distances.”
Toyota’s high voltage Hybrid Electric 'traction battery' will never run out of charge, as it charges while you drive, with support from the internal petrol combustion engine.
Myth #2
“It costs more to service a Hybrid.”
During your Toyota Service Advantage[TS1] period, all servicing costs are capped at the same price for Hybrid Electric and conventional variants of the same model.

Owning a Toyota Hybrid Electric
Vehicle
Hybrid Electric ownership in Australia is no more complicated than owning a
conventional vehicle. You’ll enjoy the same benefits, plus more.
5-year Toyota Hybrid Electric traction battery warranty[W1]
We’ll increase the standard five-year warranty on your new Hybrid Electric traction battery to up to 10 years as long as you undertake your annual inspection as part of routine maintenance according to the vehicle logbook.
Capped price servicing
Just like every other Toyota, Hybrid Electric Vehicles qualify for fixed-price servicing[T1] for up to your first three or five years on the road, depending on vehicle model.
Long-lasting batteries
Our Hybrid Electric traction batteries are smart, robust and backed by
decades of research, expertise and high-quality Toyota engineering.
Easy recharging
There’s no need to rely on charging stations as the vehicle’s internal petrol combustion engine will charge it for you as you drive.
Money back
When you return your old Hybrid Electric traction battery and purchase a new one, we will recycle components of it and give you a cash rebate.
Battery recycling
We’re developing strategies to reduce, reuse and recycle components of vehicle batteries locally. In FY 2022, we incentivised Toyota and Lexus customers to recycle 1,954 hybrid batteries.
