More than 20 years ago, Toyota introduced Prius, the world’s first mass produced hybrid electric vehicle. We’ve been leading the way ever since. Innovating the technology. Expanding the options. To help you go where you need to go, all while using less fuel and reducing visits to the pump. And there’s more to come!
Toyota led the auto industry on the road to electrification in 1997, with the launch of Prius. Since then, we’ve continuously innovated towards a more efficient, sustainable, empowered future that has no finish line. Because it’s a race where if we win, we all win.
The reasons to choose an electrified Toyota vehicle are as diverse as the lives we lead. And with a wide range of hybrid electric and plug-in hybrid electric models, we have one to help you get the most out of life.
Toyota HEVs and PHEVs create more instant torque and smoother acceleration off the line than conventional gas engine vehicles.
Over 98% of Toyota hybrid electric vehicles sold in Canada since 2001 have never had their original battery replaced.
Toyota’s electrified vehicles have prevented over 94 million tons of CO2 emissions globally since we launched the original Prius in 1997.
Once the time comes, Toyota’s electrified vehicle batteries can be dismantled and recycled or repurposed just like any other battery.
Toyota’s electrified vehicles need no additional routine maintenance. In fact, they follow the same maintenance schedule as Toyota’s gas-powered vehicles.
All Toyota HEVs and PHEVs and their components have been tested and adhere to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and come with standard Toyota Safety Sense.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can optionally be plugged in for extended electric-only range. For example, Prius Prime PHEV can travel up to 1,035 km** with a full tank of gas and a full electric charge.
All Toyota vehicles have been extensively tested in cold weather — so they’re ready to take on whatever a Canadian winter might bring.
