Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive What to look for in a hybrid car

Hybrid cars generate power from a combination of an engine (e.g. a petrol combustion engine) and an electric motor.

We have been refining this technology for over 30 years and our Hybrid Synergy Drive® technology leads the world.

Because our technology is so advanced, not only can both power units propel a car single-handed, but the battery takes all the charge it needs from normal motoring, never needing a recharge from the mains.

This means our hybrid vehicles offer dynamic driving performance with ultra-low CO₂ emissions. In fact, in some situations, when the electric motor takes over completely, CO₂ emissions drop to zero.
