Question 1

What is the difference between a Toyota hybrid and a plug-in hybrid?

Accepted Answer

A full hybrid charges its small battery from the engine and from braking, and never needs a plug. A plug-in hybrid has a larger battery charged from the mains, so it can cover everyday trips on electricity alone.

Question 2

Which engines do Toyota's new hybrids have?

Accepted Answer

A 1.5 of 116 or 130 PS in the Aygo X, Yaris and Yaris Cross; a 1.8 of 140 PS in the Corolla, Corolla Cross and C-HR, or a 2.0 of 180 PS in some Corolla and Corolla Cross versions; and a 2.5 of 185 or 194 PS in the RAV4. The plug-ins have 223 PS in the C-HR and Prius and 272 or 309 PS in the RAV4.

Question 3

Is there a four-wheel-drive Toyota hybrid?

Accepted Answer

Yes: the Corolla Cross 2.0 and the RAV4 come with AWD, which adds an electric motor at the rear, and so does the 309 PS RAV4 plug-in. The other hybrid versions drive the front wheels.

Question 4

How much road tax does a new Toyota hybrid pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

A full hybrid is taxed on its petrol engine's WLTP CO₂ × 0.6 × a band factor that starts at 0.5 up to 90 g/km. A plug-in C-HR, Prius or RAV4, with a low official CO₂ figure, usually pays the €30 minimum.

Question 5

Should I buy a new Toyota hybrid or a used one?

Accepted Answer

A new hybrid brings the full factory warranty and the latest generation of the system. A young used one costs less and has already taken its steepest depreciation.
