Thread: Hybrid Hilux announced

Apparently the Hilux is a mild hybrid so the hybrid drive is assistance only to the engine, it won't run on electric only like a "normal hybrid " Yaris, Corolla, Prius etc

My 2021 manual double cab is sitting on 8.4lt per 100kms for its 33K life so far, the average speed is only 40kph, I use 4WD when ever I'm on gravel etc usually in the lower gears as well

My previous 2017 was 9.3 for its life, same usage, so my current one is more efficient & I expect my next one (if manual) will be even better

So I don't really see the point, I guess it really depends on what it costs

My Partner got a 1500 ZR Yaris, we couldn't get a hybrid in the colour required at the time

The hybrid was $10K more & would probably do 4.5 ltrs/100, hers did 5.9 for its life, would take a while to get the extra 10K back, her replacement car is only doing 9.5
