Toyota is putting hybrid tech right where Canadians want it

Sales data indicates Canadians love all-wheel-drive (AWD) and, most often, they’re seeking it from a crossover. That data also suggests interest in hybrid vehicles continues to grow as more and more shoppers become interested in making sustainable choices.

If you’re an automaker, now’s as good a time as any to start getting hybrid-powered AWD-equipped people-movers out in front of your audience.

If you’re a shopper after something winter-ready, hybrid-powered, and AWD-equipped, you’ll find plenty of selection from Toyota. Below, we’ll look at where the brand’s quest towards electrification started, and how it’s evolved into one of the most comprehensive lineup of AWD-equipped hybrids on the market today.

Toyota Hybrid Owners Speak Out on Battery Length and Cost

Toyota hybrids are known to be among the most reliable vehicles currently on the market. Actually, it has been this way for two decades since Prius was first introduced to the public.

A recent study by iSeeCars.com found that Prius is the vehicle that original owners keep the longest. An amazing 13.7% of 15-year-old or older Prius cars are still being driven by their original owners. The average in the auto industry is 6.1%

But one of the most common hesitations or areas of concern for potential Toyota Prius owners, along with other popular models like RAV4 Hybrid or 2021 Toyota Venza, is with the hybrid battery itself.

I have heard these same concerns repeatedly over the past 15 years I have been studying Toyota hybrid vehicles.

“The hybrid battery is going to wear out too soon.”

“The battery is really expensive to replace.”

Valid concerns. And it is perfectly normal to have such concerns.
