Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV)

Why Choose Hybrid for Your Next Vehicle

There are many perks to driving a hybrid vehicle below are just a few as to why you should consider a hybrid option for your next vehicle:

• - There is no difference in the driving experience besides and increased fuel efficiency meaning you’ll be able to go further on a single tank of fuel.
• - There is no additional maintenance require on top of what’s required for your typical combustion engine and are covered by an extensive warranty, including 10 years or 240,000 km for the hybrid battery.
• - Toyota Hybrid Electric Vehicles create and provide more instant torque and a smoother acceleration from a stop than that of a traditional combustion engine.
• - Not only does a Hybrid Electric Vehicle go further between fill-ups but also reduces your total output of CO2 emissions meaning you spend less on gas and help reduce your total CO2 output.
• - If durability of the batteries is something you worry about, that’s not the case. Over 98% of Toyota hybrid electric vehicles sold in Canada since 2001 have never had their original battery replaced. Like mentioned above all new hybrid batteries since 2020 are backed by a 10-year/240,000 km warranty (Whichever comes first).
