October 18th, 2023 by
2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition

Asking Five Star Toyota of Milledgeville which Toyota Hybrid is best is akin to asking which of our children is best. We’re big fans of all the vehicles in our hybrid inventory! The real question is, what’s the best Toyota Hybrid for the way you drive in Eatonton and Monticello? We’ve gathered some information about what we think are the best Toyota Hybrid cars, SUVs, and trucks—yes, there’s a truck in the mix—based on their fuel economy and ratings from the top automotive journalists. If we have to pick which Toyota Hybrid is best, these are our choices. 

The Best Toyota Hybrid Models 

Toyota has been a leader in hybrid technology development for well over two decades. That’s why you’ll find many different models while shopping for the best Toyota Hybrid. We want every kind of Gray to be able to find a fuel-efficient hybrid Toyota that suits the way they drive. Here are our choices for the best Toyota Hybrid cars, trucks, and SUVs: 

2023 Toyota Prius Prime

Since its introduction at the beginning of the century, the Toyota Prius has been synonymous with “hybrid car,” and for good reason. We chose the Toyota Prius Prime because, as a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), it’s just one step away from being an all-electric vehicle. PHEVs can drive short distances with only battery power, making them even more fuel-efficient than their predecessors. With seating for five and a 2023 model year update to its unmistakeable style, the Toyota Prius Prime also racks up impressive specs: 

  • Starting MSRP of $32,350*
  • EPA-estimated 127 MPGe
  • 44-mile all-electric driving range
  • 2.0L 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i)
  • 150 hp
  • 139 lb-ft of torque

2023 Toyota Corolla Cross 

these recent additions to the Toyota Hybrid lineup is already winning accolades from the automotive press for its style, driveability, and available hybrid drivetrain. The Toyota Corolla Cross, a compact crossover SUV with comfortable seating for five, is based on the iconic Toyota Corolla sedan, meaning stability, driveability, and safety are its hallmarks. It’s also one of the most affordable hybrid SUVs on the market. Since it’s a traditional hybrid that doesn’t require plug-in charging, the only habit you’ll have to change is how often you stop at the gas station. Here’s what you can expect from your Toyota Corolla Cross: 

  • Starting MSRP of $27,970*
  • EPA-estimated 42 MPG (hybrid configuration only)
  • Standard AWD
  • 2.0L Atkinson-cycle inline-4 with three electric motors
  • 196 hp
  • 62 lb-ft of torque

2024 Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX

Yes, there’s even a truck among the best Toyota Hybrid cars! The off-road-ready 2024 Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX can help you conquer the great outdoors without leaving behind as many emissions. Not only does this trim level of the Toyota Tundra cut emissions, but the electric power provides near-instantaneous torque to get you over hills with ease. The hybrid engine doesn’t inhibit this Tundra’s towing capabilities, either. They clock in at an impressive 12,000 pounds with these specs: 

  • Starting MSRP of $57,625*
  • EPA-estimated 22 MPG
  • iFORCE MAX Twin-Turbo V6 with an electric motor
  • 437 hp
  • 538 lb-ft of torque

2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

Another new addition to the Toyota Hybrid family, the new Toyota Highlander Hybrid brings a big fuel economy boost to a third-row family-hauler SUV. While the Highlander Hybrid has serious off-roading chops, this SUV truly shines when it comes to adding refinement and comfort to those unavoidable daily drives. A spacious SUV doesn’t have to burn a lot of gasoline to power its engine and the Toyota Highlander Hybrid is proof of this with its exceptional performance specs: 

  • Starting MSRP of $40,620*
  • EPA-estimated 36 MPG
  • Hybrid 2.5L 4-cylinder engine eCVT
  • 265 hp
  • 310 ft-lb of torque
