What is a Hybrid?

Close
Toyota Hybrids are known as 'hybrid-electric' vehicles because they use both an electric motor and a petrol engine. Toyota hybrids always use the electric motor to drive the vehicle, whilst the petrol engine supplies power to the electric motors and supports a generator to charge the hybrid battery.

Power up to 50% of your city drives on electric.

Not all hybrids are the same. When compared with some other hybrids, the main benefit of a Toyota Hybrid is that they always use the electric motor to drive the vehicle, whilst the petrol engine supplies power to the electric motor when needed and supports a generator to change the hybrid battery too.

Some hybrid cars only use their electric motors to support the engine during acceleration and cruising - the electric motor cannot power the car on its own. In Toyota's self-charging hybrids, you can enjoy pure electric power for up to 50% of your city journeys according to Toyota Hybrid Experience figures. At higher speeds or when overtaking on the motorway, the petrol engine and electric motors to work together to give you a strong boost of power.
