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.
Simply select the vehicle you’re interested in, set your local fuel price and the kilometres you travel, then see how they compare.
There’s a Hybrid ready for you and your lifestyle.
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.
When stationary or driving in city traffic, the vehicle can automatically switch to electric (or EV) mode using zero fuel and dramatically reducing 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 automatically for extra power and responsive performance when you need it.
How Hybrid works
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
Working in perfect harmony, the Hybrid’s petrol engine and electric motor unite to create one powerful, fuel-efficient system.
Toyota Hybrid’s electric motor provides a 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.
Our Hybrid batteries are smart, robust and backed by decades of research, expertise and high-quality Toyota engineering.
There’s no need to plug in your Hybrid battery, as the vehicle’s engine will charge it for you as you drive.
When you return your old Hybrid battery and purchase a new one, we will recycle it and give you a cash rebate.

The life of a Hybrid vehicle and a Hybrid HV battery will vary depending on usage and environmental factors. For Hybrid vehicles bought before 1 January 2019, we’ll cover your Hybrid battery for eight years from date of first delivery or 160,000km, whichever comes first. For Hybrid vehicles bought after 1 January 2019, we’ll cover your Hybrid battery for up to 10 years, provided you undertake your annual inspection as part of routine maintenance according to the vehicle logbook.
The high-voltage Hybrid 'traction battery' will never run out of charge, as it charges while you drive.
During your Toyota Service Advantage
No. A Toyota Hybrid can only operate in electric mode when petrol is in the tank.
