Toyota may have an impressive lineup of hybrid cars right now, but it was a very long road to get here. The company announced its first-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS) back in 1997, and put it into production in the Prius at the end of the same year. TSH II arrived in 2003 with major updates to performance and economy, and from there things just got better and better. So, as no surprise, by the end of 2007, the company had already sold over one million hybrid vehicles worldwide, and currently its hybrid lineup takes the lead on the market. Models like the RAV4 Hybrid and Prime, Prius and Prius Prime, and even the larger Tundra Hybrid are pushing Toyota to the top of the list of best-sold automakers in the world. Of course, its lineup is about a lot more than just the three listed above, and here’s a list of all the hybrid models you can currently get from Toyota.
1 Toyota Camry Hybrid: $28,355 And Up to 53 MPG
First announced back in 2006, the Camry Hybrid is - next to the gasoline-powered Camry - one of the best-selling models in Toyota's lineup. The current generation - the XV70 generation - was announced in early 2017 and received a small update in 2020. The 2023 Camry Hybrid features Toyota's Hybrid System II powertrain that combines a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated in-line four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a total of 208 horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque. All the power is sent to the front wheels via a Sequential Shiftmatic CVT transmission. There are five trims to choose from: LE, SE, SE Nightshade, XLE and XSE, and depending on the trim, customers will either get a 1.0 kWh lithium-ion battery pack or a 1.6 kWh nickel-metal hydride pack. In its best configuration, the Camry Hybrid offers a manufacturer-estimated 51 MPG city / 53 MPG highway / 52 MPG combined rating. Prices for the Camry Hybrid range from $28,355 for the LE trim to $33,795 for the XSE.
2 Toyota Corolla Hybrid: $22,800 And Up to 53 MPG
First launched in 1966, the Toyota Corolla was the best-selling vehicle in the world in 2022, with more than 1.1 million units sold. Unlike the Camry, the Corolla Hybrid was first announced in 2020, and it is already a greater success than the Camry Hybrid. The 2023 Corolla Hybrid is powered by a 1.8-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder gas engine with two motor-generators that deliver a combined 138 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque. We can't say the Corolla Hybrid is a fast car, as it needs 10.7 seconds to run from 0 to 60 mph, but it does offer an impressive EPA-estimated mileage: 53 MPG city / 46 MPG highway / 50 MPG combined. Customers can choose between four different trims: LE priced at $22,800, SE priced at $25,240, SE Infrared priced at $25,775 and XLE priced at $26,600.
3 Toyota Prius: $27,450 And Up To 57 MPG
First launched in 1997, the Prius has evolved a lot over time so that the fifth generation can be rated as one of the most fuel-efficient models in the world. Launched just in time for the 2023 model year, the new Toyota Prius has been updated in every aspect, from the exterior look to the interior and the powertrain. The 2023 Prius is powered by a 2.0-liter engine and a revised hybrid system that delivers a total of 196 horsepower on AWD equipped models and 194 in the FWD model. The gasoline engine delivers a total of 139 pound-feet of torque, while the second electric motor generator adds another 152 pound-feet. In the LE grade, the 2023 Prius offers an estimated 57 MPG combined rating - making it the best-ever Prius and the most fuel-efficient hybrid in production for model year 2023. The 2023 Prius is offered in six trims, with prices ranging from $27,450 to $35,985.
4 Toyota Prius Prime: $32,350 And Up to 133 MPGe
At the same time with the new generation Prius, Toyota also launched the all-new Prius Prime - a model that has also been improved from the inside out. Under the hood, the 2023 Prius Prime combines a 150-horsepower, 2.0-liter engine with a 161-horsepower electric motor for a total of 220 horsepower and 139 pound-feet of torque. This represents an increase of 100 horsepower over the previous model, a change that also made it faster, as the model now only need 6.6 seconds to run from 0 to 60 mph. The Prius Prime has a range of 44 miles and goes up to 133 MPGe. Total range is also up to an impressive 653 miles. For the 2023 model year, the Prius Prime is offered in three grades: SE, XSE, and XSE Premium, and prices range from $32,350 to $39,170.
5 Toyota Crown: $39,950 And Up To 42 MPG
The Toyota Crown made a return to the market after an absence of more than 50 years. The 2023 Crown is offered in three grades: XLE, Limited, and Platinum, and customers can choose between two different hybrid powertrains: Hybrid MAX and the Toyota Hybrid System (THS). The entry level models - the XLE and Limited - will be equipped with the Toyota Hybrid system that pairs front and rear electric motors with a 2.5-liter engine for a combined 236 horsepower. The Hybrid Max is reserved to the Platinum grade, and it combines a pair of front and rear electric motors with a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine for a total of 340 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. The first two trims offer an estimated fuel economy of 42 mpg city/41 mpg highway/41 mpg combined, while the Platinum goes down to 29 mpg city/32 mpg highway/30 mpg combined. The 2023 Crown XLE is priced at $39,950, the 2023 Crown Limited at $45,550, and the 2023 Crown Platinum at $52,350.
6 Toyota Sienna: $36,135 And Up to 36 MPG
First launched back in 1998, the Toyota Sienna is currently in its fourth generation, and, unlike many of its competitors, it offers an entire hybrid lineup. All seven grades are motivated by the same powertrain: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder coupled with a 134kW electric motor powering the front wheels for a combined output of 245 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. The 2023 Sienna can also be had as an all-wheel-drive model, in which case a 40kW motor is added to the rear wheels, but the combined output doesn't change. With a manufacturer-estimated 36 combined MPG fuel economy and a total cargo capacity of 75 cubic feet, the Sienna is the perfect minivan for large families. The 2023 Sienna is offered in LE, XLE, XSE, Woodland Edition, 25th Anniversary Edition, Limited, and Platinum grades, with prices ranging from $36,135 to $51,595.
7 Toyota Tundra Hybrid: $56,710 And Up To 21 MPG
With over 100,000 units sold in 2022, the Toyota Tundra is currently one of the best sold trucks on the North American market. It is of course very far from the leader - the Ford F-Series with over 650,000 units sold - but Toyota is doing everything possible to improve sales. One of these changes is the addition of a new Hybrid model to the lineup. It comes with an i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain that combines a 3.5-liter aluminum V-6 engine with one electric motor. The system delivers a total of 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque - making the Tundra Hybrid the most powerful truck in the lineup. The truck has a towing capacity of 11,450 pounds and manages a combined fuel efficiency of 21 MPG. Testing the Tundra Hybrid, Edmunds said "you'll feel cracks and bumps, and the large all-terrain tires are noisy at certain speeds, but in general the ride quality is pretty smooth for a full-size truck." The Tundra Hybrid is priced from $56,710 to $77,940.
8 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid: $27,970 And Up to 42 MPG
Toyota unveiled the gasoline-powered Corolla Cross back in 2021, and for the 2023 model year, the lineup was expanded with the addition of the hybrid trim. Offered in three trims: S, SE, and XSE, the Corolla Cross Hybrid comes with the Fifth Generation Toyota Hybrid System under the hood. The hybrid system combines a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with one electric motor for a combined 196 horsepower. The electric motor gets its juice from a lithium-ion battery located under the rear seats - a position that maximizes the cargo capacity and offers a low center of gravity. The Corolla Cross Hybrid has an impressive EPA-estimated 42 combined mpg and can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 8 seconds. Prices for the Corolla Cross Hybrid range from $27,970 in the base S trim to $31,065 for the XSE trim.
9 Toyota Highlander Hybrid: $41,555 And Up To 36 MPG
Toyota unveiled the Highlander back in 2000, and the hybrid version was announced only four years later, but went on sale as a 2006 model. If the first ever Highlander Hybrid was powered by a 3.3-liter V-6 combined with an electric motor, things have evolved a lot over the years, and the 2023 Highlander Hybrid combines a high-efficiency 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine with two electric motor-generators for a combined output of 243 horsepower. The SUV is offered in both FWD and AWD configurations, with both versions delivering great fuel economy: 36 mpg city/35 mpg highway/36 mpg combined for the FWD and 35 mpg city/34 mpg highway/35 mpg combined. The Highlander Hybrid has a total range of about 600 miles, and, according to Motor Trend, it "offers a compelling alternative to its gas-powered sibling." However, you need to know the Hybrid is a little bit more expensive when compared to its gas-powered brother: it has a starting price of $41,555, compared to $37,755 for the base Highlander.
10 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid: $30,725 And Up To 41 MPG
With almost 400,000 units sold, the Toyota RAV4 is the best sold crossover of 2022. With a history of almost 30 years, the RAV4 has been enjoying this status for quite a while now, and the Hybrid that was first unveiled in 2016 it only makes things better. For the 2023 model year, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor for a total of 219 horsepower - making it the most powerful RAV4 (excluding the Prime) since the V-6 engine was discontinued in 2012. One of the best-selling points of the RAV4 Hybrid is its fuel economy: 41 mpg city/38 mpg highway/40 mpg combined. However, the RAV4 Hybrid is also fun to drive and has surprisingly swift acceleration. The 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid comes in seven trims, with prices ranging from $30,725 for the LE grade to $33,525 for the Woodland Edition.
11 Toyota RAV4 Prime: $42,340 And Up To 94 MPGe
The third iteration of the RAV4 family is the RAV4 Prime and it may be one of the mush-have plug-in hybrid crossovers of 2023. First announced in 2021, the RAV4 Prime sits at the top of the RAV4 lineup, and it is powered by a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle inline-four engine specially tuned for this model combined with two permanent-magnet synchronous AC motor generators. The system delivers a combined 302 horsepower, while an 18.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack offers an all-electric range of 42 miles. The 2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime also gets an EPA-estimated 94 combined MPGe and a total range of 600 miles. The RAV4 Prime is also very fast, and it only needs 5.7 seconds to run from 0 to 60 mph. Also, because of its 8.2 inches of ground clearance and the fairly soft suspension, the Prime can be a decent off-roader. The 2023 RAV4 Prime comes in only two grades: SE priced at $42,340 and XSE priced at $46,210.
12 Toyota Sequoia Hybrid: $58,365 And Up To 24 MPG
With the third generation announced in early 2022, the Toyota Sequoia is an entirely new model from the ground up. It not only offers a completely updated exterior look, and a new level of luxury on the interior, but it also dropped the big V-8 engines, and it is only offered as a hybrid model. All models are offered with the same powerful twin-turbo V-6 hybrid i-FORCE MAX powertrain from the Tundra that delivers a combined 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque. Depending on the trim level, the Sequoia is offered in 2WD or part-time 4WD configurations, while the TRD Pro is offered only in 4WD. At 5,620 pounds, the Sequoia is not a very light SUV, so its fuel economy is not as impressive: 21 mpg city/24 mpg highway/22 mpg combined. The 2023 Toyota Sequoia is offered in five trims: SR5, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro, and Capstone with prices ranging from $58,365 to $75,365.
13 Toyota Venza: $34,120 And Up To 40 MPG
The Toyota Venza was launched back in 2022, and for the 2023 model year the only update it received was the addition of the Nightshade Edition. The Venza is only offered with the new-generation Toyota Hybrid System that combines a high-efficiency 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine with three electric motors for a total of 219 horsepower. As for fuel economy, the Venza is rated at 40 mpg city/37 mpg highway/39 mpg combined. According to Car And Driver, despite its impressive fuel economy, the Venza also has a few shortcomings: "a smallish cargo area, a buzzy engine, and a cabin that's tighter on passenger space than the RAV4's." The 2023 Toyota Venza is offered in three trims: LE, XLE and Limited, plus the Nighshade special edition. Prices range from $34,120 to $42,265, while the Nightshade edition is priced at $39,455.
14 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid: $45,000(est) And 32 MPG(est)
Announced in early 2023, the Toyota Grand Highlander is set to go on sale as a 2024 model year. It will be available in three powertrains across three grades, with the most powerful one being offered with Toyota’s Hybrid MAX powertrain. The latter delivers a combined 362 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque - making the Grand Highlander Hybrid the most powerful midsize SUV Toyota has ever built. It also runs from 0 to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds and has a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. There are no details on the SUV's fuel economy just yet, but we can tell you it will be one of the roomiest in the segment: 20.6 cubic feet with all three rows up and a massive 98 cubic feet with the second and third rows down. When put on sale, the new Grand Highlander is expected to be priced at about $45,000.
15 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid: $30,000 (est) And Up To 27 MPG (est)
Although not on sale yet, the Tacoma Hybrid is one of the most anticipated hybrid models in Toyota's lineup. The truck will be put on sale just in time for the 2024 model year, and will borrow most of its design elements, and the powertrain, from the bigger Tundra. Of course, the i-Force Max powertrain will be detuned to most likely a similar level to the Lexus RX 500h: 366 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. To please the purists, Toyota will offer it with a manual gearbox, too! Fuel economy should also be at a similar level to the RX 500h - 27 mpg on the combined cycle. We expect the Tacoma Hybrid to be a very capable truck, with a towing capacity of about 7,700 pounds. Just like its gasoline-powered brother, the Tacoma Hybrid will also benefit from great off-roading capabilities. Prices should start from about $30,000.
