The Toyota Corolla Hybrid's gas-electric powertrain includes a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine and is rated at 138 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the front or all four wheels via an automatic transmission of the continuously variable variety.

Why choose Hybrid. With a Hybrid, you get all the power and torque advantages of an electric vehicle so you can go further for less. Driving around town, the electric motor does the work with dramatically reduced CO2 emissions [G12] . On the open road, the petrol engine takes over for efficient high-speed driving.

The 2023 Corolla Cross Hybrid, along with the gas model launched in 2021, will be assembled in the US at the new Mazda Toyota Manufacturing plant in Huntsville, Alabama.

HEVs combine a gas engine with electric motors, automatically choosing the optimal source and blend of power. Because the hybrid battery recharges on the go through regenerative braking, you never need to plug‑in.

As mentioned, each car is powered differently. An electric car is powered solely by its battery while a hybrid is powered by fuel as well as its electric battery.

The big advantage of hybrid cars to the environment is that they produce lower emissions than a regular fuel powered vehicle. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, including methane and nitrous oxide, are emitted on a far greater scale from the exhausts of traditional cars.

Not all hybrids are the same. When compared with some other hybrids, the main benefit of a Toyota Hybrid is that they always use the electric motor to drive the vehicle, whilst the petrol engine supplies power to the electric motor when needed and supports a generator to charge the hybrid battery too.

Hybrid electric vehicles are powered by an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors, which uses energy stored in batteries. A hybrid electric vehicle cannot be plugged in to charge the battery. Instead, the battery is charged through regenerative braking and by the internal combustion engine.

In 1995, Toyota debuted a hybrid concept car at the Tokyo Motor Show, with testing following a year later. The first Prius, model NHW10, went on sale on 10 December 1997. The first-generation Prius (NHW10) was available only in Japan.

A hybrid car uses more than one means of energy, combining a petrol or diesel engine with an electric motor, and the two systems work with each other to move the vehicle. This allows the car to burn less gasoline, achieving better fuel efficiency than a traditional engine that solely uses fuel does.
