Toyota’s Electrification

Understanding Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid & More

As Toyota leads the way in sustainable driving, understanding the different types of electrified vehicles helps you make the best choice for your lifestyle and budget. Here’s a quick guide to Toyota’s electrification technology and what each option offers:

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)

HEVs seamlessly combine the power of a gas engine with electric motors. And because the hybrid battery recharges on the go, you never need to plug in.

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEVs)

BEVs are zero-emission vehicles that are powered by electricity alone. BEVs require plugging-in, while also utilizing regenerative braking to recharge the onboard battery as you drive.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEVs)

PHEVs operate in the same way as HEVs, but can optionally be plugged in for extended electric-only range.

Benefits of Electrified Vehicles for Toronto Drivers

Electrified Toyota vehicles offer a range of benefits that are especially valuable for drivers in Toronto. From better fuel efficiency that helps reduce gas costs to lower tailpipe emissions that support a cleaner urban environment, hybrids and plug-in hybrids are built for city living.

Their quiet operation makes for a more relaxing commute, while features like regenerative braking are ideal for stop-and-go traffic. Whether you’re navigating downtown or cruising the DVP, an electrified Toyota brings smart, practical advantages to your everyday drive.
