A lot of people are looking into greener vehicles, but there are a lot of choices, and a lot of tradeoffs no matter which kind of car they choose. If you're having trouble deciding, we heartily recommend Toyota hybrid cars! Toyota has been at the forefront of hybrid technology since the beginning, with smart designs that blend the best aspects of both gasoline and electric drive systems.
If you haven't looked into Toyota hybrid vehicles, here are a few things to consider!
Five Reasons to Choose a Toyota Hybrid
1 - Excellent performance
Alternative fuel vehicles have an undeserved reputation for being underpowered, and that's certainly not true for Toyota hybrid cars! They have horsepower equal to, or better than, equivalent gasoline-only models. Even better, they typically have better acceleration with instant torque on demand!
With a Toyota hybrid, you'll never lack for the power you need on the road.
2 - Lower gas bills
From a personal standpoint, the biggest benefit to driving a hybrid car is that your fuel prices will be much lower! Whether you're driving a standard hybrid or a plug-in hybrid, you'll be stopping at the gas station much less often. Toyota Hybrids have some of the best gas mileage on the road, and that's going to be good for your wallet throughout the entire lifespan of the vehicle.
3 - Reduced emissions
While hybrid cars do still have some exhaust emissions, they're much lower than the emissions from a gasoline-only vehicle. Exact numbers vary depending on model, but generally speaking, your Toyota hybrid will only release around half the emissions of a dedicated internal combustion engine (ICE).
4 - Never driven a hybrid before? No problem!
Electric-only cars can take a little getting used to since their drive train works in a very different way than ICE vehicles. However, that's not true of hybrids! Toyota has engineered them so that they feel almost exactly like driving a regular automatic transmission vehicle. You don't have to re-learn how to drive. Most of our customers only need a single test drive to adjust to the slight differences.
5 - Extensive cold-weather testing
Our customers are occasionally concerned about whether Toyota hybrids will be able to perform well in our harsh Canadian winters - and the answer is absolutely YES. Toyota engineers their hybrid cars to run well even in temperatures well below freezing. A Toyota hybrid car will be able to take the worst weather that Canada can offer up, and still give reliable performance year after year.
