What Are the 2021 Toyota Hybrid Options?

Car buying has changed tremendously over the years, as manufacturers continue to improve and transform their models. This makes it even more imperative for car buyers to do their due diligence when they begin their vehicle search. With so many options on the market, many people are beginning to look not only at the appearance and safety of a car but at its overall performance and efficiency. That’s why cars like Toyota hybrids are gaining such popularity. In fact, as of January 2020, Toyota had sold over 15 million hybrid vehicles.

Why Toyota Hybrid?

A hybrid SUV or car is simply a vehicle that uses two distinct power sources. Those power sources typically consist of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. Unlike some electric-powered cars, however, these cars don’t always need to be plugged in to charge. Instead, they’re charged through regenerative braking. According to the US Department of Energy, when the internal combustion engine and electric motor work together, the result is a car with better fuel economy and a much smaller engine, without sacrificing performance.

Hybrid electric vehicles provide a wide variety of surprising benefits too. In addition to fewer emissions, the Toyota hybrid lineup also offers smooth power, improved drivability, and lower ownership costs. And if you opt for a plug-in hybrid (more on this below), you’ll be eligible for state and federal tax credits.

When it comes to hybrids, Toyota is one of the most popular brands to take on the project. Options such as the Toyota Corolla Hybrid, the Prius, and the Highlander Hybrid are just a few of the models available to car buyers in 2021. Beaverton Toyota carries those and more hybrid options to make your car buying experience easier than ever. Here are the Toyota hybrid options at Beaverton Toyota this year.

Prius and Prius Prime

The Toyota Prius is the hybrid that started it all. When this go-to hybrid was introduced by Toyota in 1997, it was the first of its kind. Now Toyota offers 10 hybrid vehicles, including two with plug-in hybrid options (the Prius Prime and RAV4 Prime). And the Prius is better than ever, as always, setting the hybrid standard.

The Toyota Prius is well-known for its stellar fuel efficiency, averaging an EPA-estimated mileage of 52 miles per gallon. That number dips only slightly with the new AWD-e model, at 49 miles per gallon. The vehicle’s aerodynamically designed exterior both contributes to the fuel efficiency and ensures a smooth ride. But the exterior isn’t the only well-sculpted feature of the Prius.

The sleek interior is designed with modern touches and high-tech conveniences, such as a moonroof, Premium JBL7 Audio, and color Head-Up Display, which projects important information like your speed and turn-by-turn directions onto the lower portion of the windshield. With 50.7 cubic feet of cargo space, 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, and LED accent lights, the Toyota Prius is the perfect ride for a wide range of drivers.

Corolla Hybrid

Fans of the classic Toyota Corolla’s stunning design will be impressed with the latest Toyota Corolla Hybrid option. It builds on the standard Corolla’s appearance by adding all the efficiencies of a hybrid car and more. This new model boasts an interior that feels free and spacious, with seats and controls that are positioned for optimum visibility. Features like piano-black accents and available soft-touch material provide premium comfort for you and fellow passengers when riding in this sleek new vehicle.

Not only does the Toyota Corolla Hybrid look good, but it also has features that enhance its overall performance. The headlights, for instance, feature LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and LED taillights, and its impressive road handling will help drivers feel more in control. It also features an EPA-estimated 52 miles per gallon, which is the highest ever for Corolla.

Camry and Avalon Hybrids

With hybrid cars rising 28.7 percent in sales in the US in 2019, it’s no wonder so many people are considering making the switch. Two hybrid options that people have been flocking to are the Avalon and Camry Hybrids.

The Dynamic Force engine combines power and premium fuel efficiency in the Camry Hybrid at Beaverton Toyota. With an EPA estimated 47 miles per gallon highway, the Camry Hybrid has an impressive fuel consumption, as well as a proven electric motor. Its four-mode drive switch can enhance the throttle response tremendously, and when you switch to EV Mode, you can enable electric driving to help reduce emissions and noise.

Style won’t be compromised with the Camry Hybrid. Its sleek roof and front-end design can be customized with options like a gloss-black front grille and a sport mesh insert. Other options, such as the 10-inch color Head-Up Display, hint at the future. You can also opt for leather-trimmed seats to add further luxury to the eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat.

The Avalon Hybrid features tangential vents on the sides of its front bumper as well as optional rear spoilers and diffusers and underbody panels, all to further the efficiency of the latest model. These features also improve the vehicle’s quietness, which combined with noise- and vibration-reducing technologies and materials, help create a driving experience that’s isolated from most road and wind noise. The Avalon Hybrid offers an estimated 44 miles per gallon.

Drivers will enjoy features such as all-wheel drive capabilities, adaptive variable suspension, and 19-inch alloy wheels. Interior design includes luxurious leather seats with real wood trim, a heated steering wheel, and the most recent Toyota technology.

Sienna Hybrid

After a recent remodel, the Sienna Hybrid is better than ever. This tried-and-true minivan is the perfect safe vehicle for transporting your most precious cargo, with 100 percent Hybrid Powertrain, Toyota Safety Sense 2.0, and e-AWD. And don’t worry about functionality winning out over style. The Sienna Hybrid has both, from its sporty exterior to the spacious, driver-focused interior.

RAV4 Hybrid

Maybe you’re looking for a vehicle with a little more power, such as an SUV. You might not think a vehicle with great utility could possibly offer the benefits of a hybrid, but we assure you it can. Toyota hybrid SUVs come in several shapes and sizes, and you’re certain to find a vehicle that fits your needs.

With a little more space than the previously mentioned Toyota hybrid options, the 2021 RAV4 Hybrid is the quickest, most powerful, and most efficient RAV4 yet. This SUV hybrid has impressive acceleration and field efficiency, with 219 net horsepower. It also features electric on-demand all-wheel drive for traction improvement when you need it. It’s a great vehicle if you’re on the road a lot, as it features sport-tuned suspension, which has tauter shock absorbers and springs that significantly improve its handling on both paved and unpaved roads. You can expect an EPA-estimated 40 miles per gallon with the RAV4 Hybrid.

Highlander Hybrid

You won’t run out of room inside the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Featuring up to eight seats, this vehicle combines space, efficiency, and style in its 2021 upgraded option. Its XSE sport-tuned suspension allows drivers to have better handling and more confidence on the road while getting up to an EPA-estimated 36 miles per gallon. If you want ultimate efficiency and enough room for the whole family, the Highlander Hybrid is your best option.

Safety is another beneficial aspect of the 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. You can customize your vehicle with options such as the blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alerts, which help you to see things you normally wouldn’t be able to see. You can also consider front and rear parking assist with automatic braking to help prevent avoidable accidents. Aside from the safety upgrades you can have installed, you can feel at ease knowing your SUV hybrid has a next-gen active safety system, Toyota Safety Sense 2.0, which is standard on every Highlander at no additional cost.

Venza

Meet the newest member of the Toyota hybrid family. The Toyota Venza is a crossover SUV. But it’s not just any SUV hybrid. Drivers enjoy a smooth ride with Venza’s standard 100 percent Hybrid Powertrain, Toyota Safety Sense 2.0, and the new e-AWD.

And there’s only one word that can describe the interior of the Toyota Venza: luxury. Roominess, heated soft-touch seats and steering wheel, and a panoramic roof put the Venza at the top of its class.
