As the conservation of our planet is no longer an option but a priority, it is the responsibility of every person to reduce his/her carbon footprint. One of the most effective ways to do so is to invest in a hybrid vehicle. Not only does a hybrid car produce far less CO2 emissions, but will also save you on fuel. Toyota offers a whole range of hybrid models, ranging from compact sedans to full-size SUVs. Here is some info on three Toyota hybrid models.
- Camry Hybrid
The 2019 Camry Hybrid boasts impressive fuel efficiency, respectable performance, and loads of modern technology. You’ll get strong acceleration from its powertrain that consists of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and electric motor, paired with variable automatic transmission, producing 176 horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque. Thanks to the Camry Hybrid’s Independent MacPherson strut front suspension and sophisticated multi-link rear suspension, you’ll also enjoy a smooth ride both on and off the road.
The Camry Hybrid features a lot of modern technology. Apple CarPlay compatibility, for instance, is now a standard feature and so is the Toyota Safety Sense suite, which includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, automatic high beams, and dynamic radar cruise control. You could also opt for available features such as a head-up display, a bird’s-eye view camera, and Wi-Fi.
- Prius c
The Toyota Prius c, which is basically just a smaller version of the very popular Prius hatchback, delivers excellent fuel economy and has been rated as a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) based on its low smog-forming emissions. This hybrid hatchback features a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, married to an electric motor and continuously variable automatic transmission, that generates 99 horsepower and 82 pound-feet of torque. 
Prius c‘s EV/ECO modes will allow you to customize your driving experience. If you opt for EV mode, you’ll be able to drive in electric mode for up to one mile; and if you choose ECO mode, your Prius will deliver maximum fuel efficiency. For your convenience, Prius c‘s Energy Monitor will provide you with real-time driving information, such as your ECO savings and ECO score. The impressive Toyota Safety Sense suite is also included as standard technology with the Prius c.
3.RAV4 Hybrid
The RAV4 Hybrid is a crossover SUV that boasts standard all-wheel drive. Apart from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that is paired with an electric motor, the RAV4 Hybrid features an additional electric motor that powers the rear wheels. An exciting new feature included with this SUV is the Predictive Efficient Drive system, which accumulates and stores driving d
ata over time to help optimize battery and hybrid powertrain operations for maximum efficiency. The Toyota Safety Sense suite and Apple CarPlay compatibility are also offered as standard features with the RAV4 Hybrid.
These Toyota hybrid models prove that if you opt for efficiency in a vehicle, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll lose out on performance or the convenience of modern technology. If you want to find the hybrid that’s just right for you, drop by Atlantic Toyota and take a few models for a test drive.
