    What are hybrid cars?

    It all started in the 19th century with an idea; to build a car that operates on both fuel and electricity. It was rather complicated to create a self-operating engine, however, so the idea did not see the light.

    Towards the end of the 20th century, change was evident as our environments evolved, and Toyota trailblazed developing the idea of a dual engine car. The Toyota Prius was released in 1997, and it was Toyota's first hybrid vehicle ever.

    Hybrid technology hinges on using electricity besides fuel to power the vehicle, where the needed energy is generated by the car's movement or braking. Toyota runs avid research and development on its hybrid engines, aiming to introduce an integrated driving experience through more advanced features, more efficient fuel consumption and better safety specifications for its vehicles.

WHY IS HYBRID BETTER?

The best for you, the best for your family, the best for your future

Efficient fuel consumption

As the self-charging batteries recharge while the car is in motion, fuel consumption substantially decreases by up to 30%, and driving and money-saving experiences are furthered.

Lower maintenance costs

Delicate car parts are used less frequently Since the fuel engine is not always in use, the car depends mainly on electric and brake power, and delicate car parts are used less frequently. This results in lower maintenance frequency and, in turn, costs.

More environmentally friendly

One of the main objectives behind hybrid cars is preserving the environment. Using electrical power vastly diminishes harmful emissions of gases and carbon dioxide from ordinary fuels in traditional vehicles.

Better vehicle acceleration

Electrically powered cars give better acceleration than traditional ones that depend solely on fuel. All you need to do is activate the engine and enjoy an unparalleled driving experience.

More mileage

Mileage on hybrid cars is incomparable, especially with traditional fuel engines. The advanced technology used in hybrids further driving distances by up to 25% on the same amount of fuel.

A multitude of features

Hybrid cars offer a myriad of advanced features, all with the aim to provide a more comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.

Advanced safety features

Safety is at the forefront of the hybrid car technology. Hybrids boast cruise control and airbags as well as the highest levels of safety in the Hybrid electric system.

It's quiet

Imagine driving noiselessly. Hybrid cars make 50% less noise than their traditional counterparts.
