Toyota Hybrid
Cars and SUVs

Combining performance, design, reliability, and model diversity, there have never been more advantages to choosing a Toyota hybrid car or SUV than there are today.

How It Works

 Toyota hybrid cars or SUVs combine an electric system and a gasoline system. The two are combined automatically, without driver intervention. Thus, the hybrid engine can reduce emissions by 70% compared to conventional gasoline vehicles, without compromising the level of performance.

Why Choose a Toyota Hybrid Car or SUV

Power, performance, and reliability are key features of Toyota hybrid vehicles, which make no compromises. Requiring no plug-in charging, a Toyota hybrid's battery recharges itself during driving. Furthermore, no extra maintenance is required for a hybrid engine.

The Advantages of a Hybrid Car or SUV

 Toyota led the auto industry down the path of electrification back in 1997 with the launch of the Prius and continues to innovate to ensure a more efficient, sustainable, and inspiring future. Toyota hybrid vehicles allow you to reduce your carbon footprint without having to change your driving habits. With all these benefits and a wide range of models to choose from, why not opt for a hybrid?

How Toyota Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHEV) Work

 Toyota offers a range of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) cars or SUVs, such as the Prius Prime. These models can be plugged in to extend their range in electric mode. They essentially function like ordinary hybrid vehicles, but with an added advantage: PHEVs can drive much longer in 100% electric mode!

Simple and Efficient Charging

 Among the advantages of the Prius Prime is its reduced charging time. Without even needing additional equipment, this model has one of the fastest charging times in its category!

Starting a Hybrid Car or SUV

To save gasoline, only the electric motor is activated upon starting. This also provides instant torque in most conditions.

Acceleration and Constant Speed

During driving, the gasoline engine and the electric motor are used in symbiosis, providing the ideal combination of electric and gasoline power without compromising power and performance. Excess energy is used to recharge the battery.

Deceleration and Braking

When you decelerate, the electric motor takes over. Regenerative braking recharges the battery by converting kinetic energy into electricity.

Stopping and Reversing

When the vehicle is stationary, the gasoline engine stops completely and gives way to the electric system (unless the battery charge is too low), thus saving fuel. The same applies when the vehicle is moving in reverse at low speed.

Why Choose a Hybrid Car or SUV?

Toyota offers the most varied hybrid lineup on the market, with vehicles for every need and taste. Toyota hybrid cars have several advantages that combine performance, reduced C02 emissions, and safety.

Extended Range

Some plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can be plugged in to offer extended range. The Prius Prime, for example, has a total range of 1,035 km* on a full tank and a full charge.

 Safety First

Safety is our priority and hybrid vehicles are no exception. All vehicles are tested for life in the Canadian climate and follow the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Plus, the Toyota Safety Sense active safety suite is included with all our hybrid vehicles.

Reduced Carbon Footprint

Since their introduction in 1997, Toyota hybrid vehicles have avoided the emission of more than 94 million tons of CO2  worldwide.

 Ready for Winter

To ensure that Toyota hybrid vehicles perform well in all climates, they have been subjected to rigorous cold weather testing. They were designed with Canadian winter temperatures in mind.

 No Need to Plug-In

There's no need to plug in Toyota hybrid vehicles. Their Hybrid Synergy Drive system recharges automatically as you drive.

 The Sustainable Movement

Join the movement for sustainable transportation by choosing Toyota hybrid vehicles. The manufacturer's goal is to promote the environment by reducing emissions from its new vehicles by 90% by 2050, compared to 2010 levels.

 Long-Lasting Batteries

The batteries of Toyota hybrid vehicles are designed to last and are covered by an 8-year or 160,000 km warranty, like all hybrid vehicle components. In fact, for more than 98% of Toyota hybrid vehicles sold since 2001, the battery has never been replaced.

 No Additional Maintenance

Toyota hybrid vehicles follow the same regular maintenance schedule as other gasoline vehicles. So there's no need to pay extra for maintenance.

 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

When the time comes, the batteries in our hybrid vehicles are recycled or repurposed for a different use, just like other types of batteries.
