Thread: Hilux hybrid.4wd vs dmax ls 4wd

I'd agree with that - the CVT transmissions do take a little getting used to and you feel like you are hard on the brakes the entire time downhill. Proper hybrid is good as well, although I do not think I would get a plug in one with the current pricing structure. That's one of the things I don't see the point of with the new hybrid hilux, the ones I have had experience of just do not seem to have any advantage I can actually measure in any metric compared to the non-hybrid version doing the same role. Virtually identical fuel consumption, last time I looked 0.1L/100Km in favour of the non-hybrid version or close enough to be identical.

In comparison, the hybrid corolla vs a non-hybrid is definitely showing a fuel consumption advantage to the hybrid vehicle. I think the hilux hybrid is more marketing and climate commission advantage for Toyota than any benefit to the vehicle owners, which is a shame and a missed opportunity from my driver's seat.
