Toyota has been at the forefront of the Hybrid revolution since 1997, blazing a trail for others to follow.
Over 12 million people have chosen Toyota Hybrid vehicles worldwide, and that number continues to grow. With our Hybrid range expanding to eight models by 2020, there’ll soon be a Hybrid for everyone.
HOW HYBRIDS WORK
DESIGNED TO GO THE DISTANCE
When stationary or driving in city traffic, the vehicle can automatically switch to electric (or EV) mode using zero fuel and creating zero CO2 emissions.
During deceleration or when braking, the electric motor continues to generate power, storing it in the vehicle’s battery to keep it charged.
When accelerating or cruising at high speeds, the petrol engine turns on, providing extra power and responsive performance when you need it.
ADVANCED POWER, NO COMPROMISES
Toyota Hybrid’s electric motor provides a more controlled, efficient take-off thanks to instant torque and a faster response.
Enjoy a smoother drive as state-of-the-art technology delivers controlled braking and smarter automatic gear changes.
Enhanced drive power, combined with a stronger pull at lower revs, means you can enjoy your Hybrid on any road, anywhere.

HYBRID FAQS
How long does a Hybrid HV battery last?
The life of a Hybrid vehicle and a Hybrid HV battery will vary depending on usage and environmental factors. All Hybrid HV batteries are covered by Toyota Australia's Hybrid HV battery warranty, 8 years or 160,000 km (whichever comes first).
What happens if my Hybrid battery runs out of charge?
The high-voltage Hybrid 'traction battery' will never run out of charge, as it charges while you drive.
Does it cost more to service a Hybrid?
During your Toyota Service Advantage 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.
Can a Hybrid run on electricity when it runs out of fuel?
No. A Toyota Hybrid can only operate in electric mode when petrol is in the tank.
