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.

Step 1

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 CO2 emissions[G12].

Step 1

Charges while you drive

During deceleration or when braking, the electric motor continues to generate power, storing it in the vehicle’s battery to keep it charged.

Step 1

Fast power delivery

When accelerating or cruising at high speeds, the petrol engine turns on, providing extra power and responsive performance when you need it.

Why choose Hybrid

With a Hybrid, you get all the power and torque advantages of an electric vehicle so you can go further for less. Driving around town, the electric motor does the work with dramatically reduced CO2 emissions[G12]. On the open road, the petrol engine takes over for efficient high-speed driving.

Step 1

Recycling at its best

When you return your old Hybrid battery and purchase a new one, Toyota will recycle it and give you a cash rebate.

Step 1

Total peace-of-mind

What happens if my Hybrid battery runs out of charge?

Does it cost more to service a Hybrid?

During your Toyota Service Advantage[TS1] period, all servicing costs are capped at the same price for both Hybrid and conventional models. However, once this period expires, you may need to factor in additional servicing requirements, which could increase the annual cost of your service.
