Hybrid Technology

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.

To see the positive impact a Hybrid vehicle can make, simply select a vehicle, set your local fuel price and the kilometres you usually travel. We'll show you the difference a Hybrid can help to make to the environment and your wallet.

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.

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.

Working in perfect harmony, the Hybrid’s petrol engine and electric motor unite to create one powerful, fuel-efficient system.

Our Hybrid batteries are smart, robust and backed by decades of research, expertise and high-quality Toyota engineering.
