- With this expanded global BEV lineup, Toyota and Lexus will offer BEVs in all segments, including sedans, SUVs, K-Cars, commercial vehicles, and other segments.
Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive
Most Toyota hybrid vehicles take advantage of an advanced system known as Hybrid Synergy Drive®. If you open the hood you’ll find a traditional gasoline engine paired to an electric motor which work in tandem to produce outstanding fuel economy along with lowered emissions. When driving on the highway, these hybrids deliver performance similar to a gasoline-powered car. Around town, you’ll have the added benefit of smooth power delivery and a refined ride when the system is powered primarily on electricity.
Depending on the situation, Hybrid Synergy Drive® systems have the ability to alternate between gas and electric power. Vehicles such as the Prius are able to drive solely on one form of power based on the scenario. At low speeds, the gasoline engine will not be in use. Under heavy acceleration, you’ll feel the gasoline engine come to life and deliver potent response in order to get you up to speed. Thanks to regenerative capabilities, energy normally lost during braking is recaptured and stored in the battery for later use. Aerodynamic exterior designs also help Toyota hybrids slice through the air and boost your MPG.
