TOYOTA PRIUS

11:42 Add Comment
The Prius is purpose-built for fuel efficiency and achieves the country’s second-best rating of 50 miles per gallon (2.0 gp1003) without much effort required by the driver. And unlike many of its competitors, it doesn’t cost that much more than a comparable non-hybrid compact car, but would start saving you gas money, and lots of it, from day one.
It prefers to be driven slowly and easy to burn less gas, but the Prius also has enough power to merge, pass, and pull away from stoplights with some gusto. It’s also durable, has plenty of room for people and cargo, and boasts what no other hybrid can: a 14-year record of proven reliability and the title of World’s Most Popular Hybrid. Until a new crop of competitors arrives later this year, including an all-new Prius, this current model remains atop the hybrid heap.
Our pick2015 Toyota Prius TwoThe 2015 Toyota Prius Two is the best choice for most people. At $23,000, it doesn’t cost much more than comparable non-hybrid cars and boasts fuel efficiency of 50 miles per gallon. It’s also durable, with a 14-year record of reliability and the title of World’s Most Popular Hybrid.
$22,337 from TrueCar
The Prius family includes three models: the small Prius c, the large Prius v (we’ll talk about both later), and the standard Prius liftback. The last is our pick, and it’s the one you’re probably most familiar with because it’s been the poster car for hybrids for over a decade. There are five trim levels of the standard Prius liftback. Some of them can cost as much as a luxury car when fully loaded, but the base model Prius Two is best for most because it’s equipped well-enough: with standard features like Bluetooth phone and audio, a rearview camera, and push-button start. Its lower starting price also means you’ll start saving money sooner.
This guide focuses on traditional parallel hybrids like the Prius, which make up the bulk of what’s for sale out there. We decided not to consider plug-in hybrids because they cost considerably more than traditional hybrids and work a little differently; they’ll get their own guide in the near future. We threw out mild hybrids too because they’re all but extinct and have always played second fiddle to full-on parallel hybrids like the Prius.

What is it?
The Camry is probably one of Toyota’s most important cars. A massive seller in the US and China, it’s a car that gives Toyota a very healthy profit margin. This, however, is not the case in India. Here, the Camry is strictly a niche player. Ever the bridesmaid in the past to Honda’s Accord, things changed for the Camry when Toyota decided to assemble the car here. This brought a small shot of success. What took things to the next level was when Toyota became the first carmaker to locally assemble a hybrid car in India. This brought the price of the Camry Hybrid close to the regular car, and the move was so successful, 73 percent of all Camrys sold here today are hybrids. Customers love the fact that the vehicle is more efficient, greener, is packed with exclusive features, and rides and drives like a regular car. 
This is why, when Toyota organised a test drive of the facelifted Camry, it brought mainly Hybrids. Now the look of Camrys in the past has always flitted between mild and wild, so it’s par for the course that a mild Camry is followed by, well, a wild one. And a wild one it is; just look at the size of that air dam! And the chrome surround that runs around the chin – it’s borderline over the top. Toyota designers have also moved the main, slot-like grille higher up on the nose, there are LED daytime running lights and there’s a LED main lamp as well. The top of the bonnet gets a mild power dome and the turning lights are placed at a jaunty angle in front of the wheel arch. Now, some designs don’t translate well into three dimensions, but not this one; it really works well. And so does the small change at the rear, where Toyota has made the bumper a bit wider at its base. 
The insides are very similar to the pre-facelift car. This is one of Toyota’s best dashboards – interesting, beautifully layered and with improved materials. I particularly like how the wood and chrome accents work together, and the other good bit is that noting feels old fashioned. There’s also a new colour information display in the centre of the instrument panel, which is easily controlled from the steering wheel. As on the earlier car, the rear gets its own temperature setting, the rear seat backs recline up to eight degrees and while you are sat a bit low, rear seat pampering and comfort are first rate. 
What's it like to drive?
There aren’t too many changes from behind the wheel. The car still takes off beautifully with electric motor assist at low speeds, the instant dollop of torque from the word go feeling gratifying. And you do feel the combined force of 202bhp from the powertrain when you accelerate hard as well. What’s also particularly impressive is the seamless integration of electric and petrol units. Toyota has made a couple of changes – the cabin now is much better insulated from both road noise and engine sound and the guys responsible for the suspension have given it a bit more suppleness by recalibrating the valves in the dampers. So now low-speed ride is a bit better as well. The handling, however, has become a bit soggier. The Camry still turns in well and the poise of the car is still good; it’s just that it runs out of grip pretty soon.
Should I buy one?
Now mildly improved over the earlier version, the updated Camry Hybrid is a perfectly agreeable and practical large executive sedan. It’s now better suited to its role as a quasi-luxury car – it rides better, is better insulated and with a Rs 70,000 rebate via the Government of India’s FAME initiative, better value too. No, at Rs 31.92 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the Camry Hybrid facelift isn’t exactly cheap, but consider the comfort and luxury this car can serve up, all the unique fuel-saving technology present, and the size and space on offer, and the Camry looks like quite an attractive proposition.

Disadvantages of a Hybrid Car

14:05 Add Comment
There are many advantages to owning a hybrid car. The one you will like the best is how it helps you to control your budget as gas prices continue to get higher. The other benefit that is not seen directly is how owning and driving a hybrid car impacts the environment. It reduces the dependence on fossil fuels and lowers your carbon imprint on the environment.

Disadvantages of a Hybrid Car

There are disadvantages to owning a hybrid car, but they are probably not what you think. Contrary to popular myth, hybrid cars have just as much power as regular cars and have no issue with mountain driving or towing. The disadvantages will depend on the type of hybrid fuel that your car uses.
Here are few of the disadvantages of a hybrid car :-
1. Less Power: Hybrid cars are twin powered engine. The gasoline engine which is primary source of power is much smaller as compared to what you get in single engine powered car and electric motor is low power. The combined power of both is often less than that of gas powered engine. It is therefore suited for city driving and not for speed and acceleration.
2. Can be Expensive: The biggest drawback of having a hybrid car is that it can burn a hole in your pocket. Hybrid cars are comparatively expensive than a regular petrol car and can cost $5000 to $10000 more than a standard version. However, that extra amount can be offset with lower running cost and tax exemptions.
3. Poorer Handling: A hybrid car houses an gasoline powered engine, a lighter electric engine and a pack of powerful batteries. This adds weight and eats up the extra space in the car. Extra weight results in fuel inefficiency and manufacturers cut down weight which has resulted in motor and battery downsizing and less support in the suspension and body.
4. Higher Maintenance Costs: The presence of dual engine, continuous improvement in technology, and higher maintenance cost can make it difficult for mechanics to repair the car. It is also difficult to find a mechanic with such an expertise.
5. Presence of High Voltage in Batteries: In case of an accident, the high voltage present inside the batteries can prove lethal for you. There is a high chance of you getting electrocuted in such cases which can also make the task difficult for rescuers to get other passengers and driver out of the car.

Making Your Decision

Deciding whether or not a hybrid car is right for you involves more than just a desire to beenvironmentally friendly. You have to look at the resources in your area that can help you maintain and sustain the car. Depending on the type of car you purchase you may need mechanics that are familiar with it or an alternate fuel source. You should also look into any credits or discounts that may be available to help you lower the cost of the purchase of the car.

Changing Your Driving Habits

Even if you do purchase a hybrid car there is more you can do to lessen your effect on the environment. One of the most important considerations is how you drive. You can replace many of your car trips with using public transportation, carpooling or even riding a bicycle. Also, planning to use the car more effectively can reduce the overall number of trips you are making each week. Hybrid or not, the less you drive the better it is for the environment. You should also consider offering to be the car pool driver more if you are the one with the hybrid,

What is a Hybrid Car?

Hybrid cars are becoming more popular and more common. Basically, a hybrid car is one that uses two or more engines i.e. an electric motor and a conventional engine (either petrol or diesel). The electric engine powers the car at lower speeds and gas engine powers it at higher speeds. A hybrid car like Toyota Prius and Civic Hybrid not only conserves fuel but also produce less CO2 emissions. Though hybrid vehicles are now growing in popularity but still few people are actually using it mainly due to lack of knowledge of how hybrid vehicles work and whether they’re as good as other  gasoline powered vehicles.
While the technology has existed since the early 1900s, it has only been in the past decade or so that the price of manufacturing them has brought them into the range of possibility for the average driver. There are also more government incentive programs that use credits and special discounts to support the purchase and use of hybrid vehicles. Many cities are switching their public transportation and service vehicles over to hybrid cars and buses as a part of the program to become more environmentally responsible.

On the other hand, there are electric cars that use rechargeable batteries. Here are few of the advantages and disadvantages of having an electric car.
While most people associate hybrid vehicles with the kind that use electricity as their primary alternate fuel, there are more options available now. There are cars that use hybrid technologies with propane and natural gas as well. A hybrid car is best defined as a vehicle that has an engine that can switch between a fossil fuel and an alternate fuel source.

Advantages of a Hybrid Car

Here are few of the top advantages of having a hybrid car
1. Environmentally Friendly: One of the biggest advantage of hybrid car over gasoline powered car is that it runs cleaner and has better gas mileage which makes it environmentally friendly. A hybrid vehicle runs on twin powered engine (gasoline engine and electric motor) that cuts fuel consumption and conserves energy.
2. Financial Benefits: Hybrid cars are supported by many credits and incentives that help to make them affordable. Lower annual tax bills and exemption from congestion charges comes in the form of less amount of money spent on the fuel.
3. Less Dependance on Fossil Fuels: A Hybrid car is much cleaner and requires less fuel to run which means less emissions and less dependance on fossil fuels. This in turn also helps to reduce the price of gasoline in domestic market.
4. Regenerative Braking System: Each time you apply brake while driving a hybrid vehicle helps you to recharge your battery a little. An internal mechanism kicks in that captures the energy released and uses it to charge the battery which in turn eliminates the amount of time and need for stopping to recharge the battery periodically.
5. Built From Light Materials: Hybrid vehicles are made up of lighter materials which means less energy is required to run. The engine is also smaller and lighter which also saves much energy.
6. Higher Resale Value: With continuous increase in price of gasoline, more and more people are turning towards hybrid cars. The result is that these green vehicles have started commanding higher than average resale values. So, in case you are not satisfied with your vehicle, you can always sell it at a premium price to buyers looking for it.

Concerned by lukewarm reactions to its mass-market models, enlightened Toyota boss Akio Toyoda demanded sharper looks and proportions aong with weight distribution reconfigured to provide a more engaging drive.

The Auris’s styling is a good deal more modern than that of its predecessor (and quite slippy, with a drag coefficient of 0.277). It is also one of the shortest cars in the Focus class, while weight drops by an average of 50kg across the range.So while both platform and wheelbase are carried over from the Auris Mk1 – it has the same 2.6m wheelbase as the previous car and is a touch under 4.3m long – that’s about where the similarities end.
It’s decently spacious in the front, so there’s a lot to be said for the Auris’s compact package, especially in urban areas. Boot space, at 350 litres, is class average, although the false boot floor (which allows a flat loading bay when the rear seats are folded down) makes it harder to exploit.
Those seeking more load space, however, could always opt for Toyota's estate variant of the Auris, called the Touring Sports.
By lowering the Auris's roofline and reducing its ride height, Toyota has reduced the centre of gravity which in turn affords more supple suspension.
Those worrying about heads striking headlinings needn’t fret, either; the height reduction has been in part prompted by the outgoing Auris’s taller-than-average proportioning, and Toyota is compensating with a roof that billows above each seat row. The new front seats have impressively supportive and upright backs and the driving position is sound.
Improved fuel efficiency, handling and ride are the aims, while criticism of the old car’s striking but ergonomically troubled flying-buttress centre console has provoked a major rethink of the dashboard’s architecture and finish, of which more shortly.
The front suspension uses the same MacPherson strut layout as before but with tweaks. Higher specification cars – including the petrol-electric hybrid and the 128bhp petrol – get a double wishbone rear suspension arrangement, while lesser Aurises retain a twist beam.
The electric power steering has a quicker ratio (14.8:1, down from 16:1) and the steering column has been stiffened. The happy surprise is that the Auris gels competently on the road, at least when it is equipped with the smaller (and more fuel efficient) 16-inch wheel rims.
Many will be pleased to find that the ride is pleasingly compliant and that the stiffer body feels satisfyingly robust. The old car’s cornering flop has gone and the electric power steering is accurate and more consistent, despite the steering wheel feeling overly light.
The Auris is stable and goes neatly where the driver wants to put it, but the steering still feels a little slow and the car’s nose could be quicker to come to heel. The beam axle employed at the rear of some models induces more than a little joggle to the ride when it encounters poor roads. The chassis feels straightjacketed, so the Auris lacks the fluidity and spark that you’ll get from a Focus or the delicacy of one of Volkwagen’s latest MQB-based cars.
Engine choices begin with the entry-level 1.33-litre petrol. It produces 98bhp and 94lb ft and emits 125g/km of CO2. The engine offers the potential for extremely low running costs, although the sheer effort required to wring reasonable out-of-town speeds from it is more than you would have to expend in plenty of other small petrol-powered cars.
The buzzy engine is never a relaxing or enjoyable motor to use. It feels strained even at normal motorway speeds and doesn’t provide the flexibility that you require for easy progress on a typical B-road.
A 1.6-litre petrol is also offered, and it feels much more capable. It offers 130bhp and 118lb ft, while Toyota's claims suggest 48mpg is possible on the combined cycle, equating to CO2 emissions of 138g/km.
And while it needs revving, judicious sound-proofing has smothered the 1.6 Valvematic’s thrashings and tyre hum. Apart from a light flutter around the door windows, this Auris delivers calm high-speed cruising.
The only oil burning option is a mechanically updated 1.4-litre turbodiesel that produces 89bhp and returns CO2 emissions of 99g/km in certain specifications. The motor’s distinctive rattle from cold hardly changes even when the engine is up to temperature.
It’s not massively intrusive, but it’s hardly the most hushed. Performance is completely adequate in urban conditions although it has be coaxed along at UK motorway speeds.
The Hybrid variant is more than a casual nod towards green motoring; it’s an integral part of the hatchback’s range, accounting for roughly one-third of total Auris sales, sharing the market equally with the petrol and diesel equivalents.
Using the Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) system similar to that found in the Prius, the second-generation Auris Hybrid has a relocated battery pack. Sliding the cells under the rear seats means less compromise in terms of boot space compared to the Mk1 vehicle. Toyota modified the Auris’s carry-over platform to achieve this.
The changes make for a more athletic hybrid Auris on the road, but this version loses some of the deftness of the conventional 1.6 petrol. When fitted with 17in wheels, it doesn’t ride as well as the 16in-shod petrol variant either.
The infamous whining band-saw revvings of the 1.8-litre HSD powertrain have been reduced, but this slightly unnatural sound is still there and doesn’t exactly encourage you to stretch the car’s legs.
The engine gets an Eco mode, which gives you a better chance of scoring a heart-warming economy figure, although you’re unlikely to see 70mpg. You also have up to 1.2 low-speed miles in EV mode.It all adds interest to a complex car, although you might end up preoccupied by the cliff-like structure and cheap detailing of the unprepossessing dashboard. It’s perfectly functional but not great to look at, somewhat spoiling this otherwise usefully upgraded Auris.
The facia is the most stared-at part of a car if you’re its driver, yet this new Auris has lost the old model’s appealingly multi-layered instruments. The multimedia system sits inside a cheap asymmetric plastiminium-rimmed panel and the turf-like slab of soft-feel plastic that caps this sculpturally dull edifice completely fails to suggest expense, even if the brushed aluminium ahead of the passenger pleases.
Four trim levels are available: Active, Icon, Sport and Excel. Even in Icon specification, the Auris is nicely specced (climate control, DAB, touchscreen, rear camera). The Auris also gets a five-year, 100,000-mile warranty, it’s made in the UK and overall it’s a neat, well sized, package.
The Volkswagen Golf Mk6 was the benchmark for this Toyota, but you won’t believe that when you sit in it. That’s a pity, because progress has been made in terms of refinement, agility, convenience and low running costs. This is undoubtedly a better Auris, but it still flails in the wake.
Despite Toyota’s attempts to inject some life into the Auris, it remains a deeply rational, unemotional choice for drivers who are not interested in uplifting interior design or ‘get up and go’ dynamics.

FULL DETAILS The Toyota Auris

It also gets new engines including a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol and BMW-sourced 1.6-litre diesel. However the hybrid variant has always been the ace up Toyota’s sleeve and that is set to continue - despite the new engine options, more than half of all Auris models sold are hybrids. The system used in the Auris is the same as that in the Prius, with a 1.8-litre petrol engine, a battery pack and an electric motor, all linked up to an automatic transmission for fuss-free driving.
In practice the hybrid drives like any auto – choose D on the tiny gear-selector and off you go. It’s possible to run short distances on electric power alone, but most of the time drive comes from a combination of electricity and petrol, via a smooth CVT automatic gearbox. This generally remains quiet and refined unless you find a steep hill or need to overtake, where it can get raucous in typical CVT fashion.
Driving the hybrid is so effortless, particularly in traffic, that it is easy to understand its popularity. That is especially true when you factor in the low running costs afforded by the 79g/km CO2 emissions and the official economy figure of 80.7mpg – but you shouldn’t write off the new petrol and diesel engine options.
Toyota Auris Hybrid (11)
The 1.2-litre petrol, in particular, is a highlight of the updated Auris range. This little four-cylinder engine makes a useful 185Nm of torque from low revs, so is willing and flexible on the road, yet it is also tremendously quiet and refined even at motorway speeds. It also has low running costs thanks to economy of 58.9mpg and emissions of 112g/km.
Equally impressive is the new 1.6-litre diesel, which we have already tried in the recently revised Avensis. It works better in the lighter Auris and with less weight to haul around, it is responsive and flexible. Plus it has relaxed gearing that makes for quiet long-distance motorway driving. For someone who does high mileages it is easily the best engine available for the Auris. Toyota also offers the existing 1.4-litre D-4D diesel and entry-level 1.33-litre petrol as before.
Regardless of engine, the Auris is a very relaxing and easy-to-drive car. The controls are light and accurate, the suspension offers good comfort and there is plenty of front-end grip to inspire confidence when driving on twisting roads. Sure, there isn’t much fun to be had, but for getting around without fuss, the Auris can’t be faulted.
Toyota hasn’t only revised the engine range – the cabin has been given a significant overhaul too. Previously it featured a mishmash of different plastics and shades, but now it is cleaner, neater and better finished, with a large infotainment screen, clear dials and simple, classily laid out air conditioning controls.
Toyota Auris Hybrid (8) 
The changes make a big difference to how the Auris feels, giving it a classier ambience than before – but it still doesn’t match a Volkswagen Golf or SEAT Leon for feel-good factor. Both offer a more effortless and simple design than the Auris, despite the obvious improvements. That said, it might not be the most plush interior, but it is practical, with plenty of space in the back and a reasonable boot of 435 litres.
Standard equipment on basic, £15,245 Active models includes air conditioning, LED running lights and 15-inch alloy wheels, while mid-grade models get a touchscreen system, DAB radio and a reversing camera. The hybrid model was previously only available in upper trim levels but demand means it is now available across all versions - but it still carries a steep price tag of at least £19,645, which will buy you a fairly well-equipped diesel Ford Focus.
Optional extras include a package of active safety technology, with collision mitigating braking and lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition and automatic main beam. Other convenience features include a navigation upgrade for the infotainment and an automated, hands-free parking system, though you have to pick the top Excel trim to get the latter.  
Toyota has a reputation for reliability, despite the mainstream media jumping on it every time there is a recall, plus there is a five-year 100,000 miles warranty as standard. Add easy driving dynamics and low running costs and the Auris looks like a good bet for drivers who want a sensible car with no surprises. However if you demand any charisma or flair from your family car there are some much better alternatives on the market, including the Volkswagen Golf.
The Toyota Auris is available to order from July 1 2015

Toyota Auris classified as Compact Hatchback cars in Europe, this car has not been sold in Indonesia despite not hurt us know little about cars that use 3 types of machines. Was first issued in 2006 with the Toyota Corolla platform, until now Toyota Auris is positioned as a replacement for the Toyota Corolla hatchback, while the sedan version is still using the name Corolla. In Japan the car was named the Toyota Blade.

Toyota Auris 2015 has now transformed into a car that is very flexible in the choice of engine. Hatchback toyota output is wearing three engine variants namely engine Gasoline, Hybrid and Diesel, each of which has a different segment.

* Variant Auris Hybrid is the best selling car in Europe with a population of up to 50% of the Auris, a plausible reason because this car has the most economical fuel consumption which is 28.6 km to 1 liter BBMnya. Auris Hybrid is also a lot of tax relief from several countries in Europe because of the highly efficient fuel consumption (when the car engine capacity of 1800 cc, large enough).

* The second variant is the 1200 cc petrol engine which has a fuel consumption of up to 21: 1, while the power generated is 116 hp and torque of 185 Nm. At Auris petrol variant uses 4-cylinder engine with a number of fruit and wear technology fuel supply Direct Injection Turbo.

* The next variant is the Toyota Auris Diesel, using D-4D engine 1600 cc diesel, this car also uses a 4-cylinder capable of producing up to 112 hp with a torque of 270 Nm (yes really big torque diesel advised hehehe

Toyota Auris has a Diesel exhaust emission standards are very high, Euro 6, a comparison of cars in Indonesia which has a Euro 3 standards as inaudible voice when going to overtake, and emits only 1/6 of a bar of R * kok (what else Euro 6 ), Auris Diesel fuel consumption include the economical 1: 24.4 economical not

toyota hybrid auris


Last week in Michigan, we had opportunity to sample Toyota’s European and UK-market Auris Hybrid, and came away impressed with its driving dynamics, aesthetics, and functionality, not to mention a compelling spec sheet.
What’s so special about its specs? For starters, the freshly minted Auris gets improved mpg and CO2 emissions over the regular Prius, plus it has a more sophisticated rear suspension, tends to be a tad lighter and more nimble-footed as delivered, and it costs around 4,000 euros less.
What’s not to like? Does the Auris Hybrid out Prius the Prius?
Auris Hybrid gets same powertrain as Prius and Prius v.
The answer is not completely, but there is some serious overlap. The Auris Hybrid – offered as a hatchback and wagon and with non-hybrid powertrains as well – borrows from the Prius Liftback its 1.8-liter Atkinson-cycle engine paired with electric power to create Toyota’s proprietary “Hybrid Synergy Drive” (HSD).
External dimensions put the Auris in the C-segment (compact) compared to the D-segment (midsized) Prius, but the Auris is not that small. It’s 8 inches shorter than the Prius, 0.6-inches wider, and not nearly as diminutive as the 19-inch shorter, 2-inch narrower Prius c with its 1.5-liter HSD setup.
That it offers competition to the Prius was not just our wild idea either. Others we spoke to commented similarly, and Toyota of Europe Toyota Product Communication Senior Manager Bart Eelen helped point out pros and cons between the apple-to-orange comparison.
Ellen conceded the Auris Hybrid does have some advantages, but the Prius stands strong as a symbol to die-hard fans.
“The original Prius customer, who was buying the car for its high tech credentials, iconic shape, etc. has proven to be very loyal to the Prius badge, in spite of Auris arriving,” said Eelen.
The regular Prius is now called the Liftback, and has also been spun off into the limited market, identically bodied plug-in hybrid version (shown).
The hybrid version of the Auris on the other hand is just one variation of a line of cars built on the same platform as the Prius. Eelen said to many Europeans, the Auris Hybrid looks like any other Auris on the road – which may come with powertrains including a 1.33-liter gas engine, a 1.6-liter gas engine, a 1.4D-4D diesel engine and a 2.0D-4D diesel engine.
This said, the Auris is attracting some would-be Prius buyers, as they can’t help but recognize a vehicle introduced as a 2013 model that’s newer in its product life cycle and with certain advantages making it for some, a no-brainer.
“I don’t know whether Auris would dilute the Prius position in the U.S. if it were ever introduced,” said Eelen, “but in Europe we have definitely seen that the type of customer who used to buy Prius for predominantly practical reasons, have switched to Auris.”
In response, U.S. Toyota Product Communications Specialist, Maurice Durand confirmed Toyota is open to prospects, would “never say never,” but has no plans at present to import the Auris and myriad issues would need to be sorted first. His thought also is the Auris Touring Sports wagon would indeed erode Prius v sales, and perhaps something similar could be said of the Auris Hybrid Hatchback.

TOYOTA ALPHARD HYBRID


 Toyota New Toyota Alphard Hybrid is on display in the exhi

 bition GIAS 2015, has a different engine with hybrid cars such as the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Prius.

What makes ya roughly one car engine is different from other hybrid cars?

Apparently Toyota Alphard Hybrid has an additional electric motor driving the rear wheels, so New Alphard Hybrid cars can be categorized as a four-wheel (4x4).

No different from the Alphard 2.5G, Alphard Hybrid has 2AR-FXE engine. But there are two additional electric motors located in the front and rear of the car.

Equipped with the technology of e-Four. This car hybrid system will transfer driving force from the engine to the electric motor in accordance with vehicle speed.

The electric motor also will take over the driving power when the car slows down and the system will switch to oil-fired engines, while requiring more power or high speed.

"The engine is more sophisticated. The way it works, at start-up or the car is started, the electric motor at the rear was working to provide torque at the rear wheels to propel the car up to a low speed. But when the car is running at a constant speed or height, electric motor at the turn of front-wheel drive or two wheel drive to work, "explains General Manager Technical Service PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) Dadi Hendriadi.

Dadi also added that the workings of the function to improve fuel efficiency. Then when the road is uphill, back behind the electric motor works to provide torque to help the rear wheel traction. Rear-wheel drive is better used in road uphill. There is an automatic sensor divides the torque at the rear wheels, so that it remains secure and efficient.

New Alphard Hybrid electric motor having a primary. For the sake of fuel efficiency, maximum output is lower than a gasoline engine, which is 152 ps / 6,000 rpm. While the electric motor in the rear torque recorded 68 ps, while in front of 143 ps.

Some other differences are owned Alphard Hybrid is chrome accents under the grille, 17-inch rim sizes, as well as the use of an independent rear suspension and double wishbone.

Differences in the features of the Toyota New Alphard Hybrid is certainly making this become a car more comfortable to drive. 

Toyota has been presenting various models of cars pull in Gelaran Gaikindo Indonesia Auto Show (GIIAS), after Toyota introduced the futuristic vehicle Toyota Toyota iRoad Mirai and next, which is not less interesting also introduced the latest model Toyota Alphard hybrid in Indonesia.

Alphard Hybrid cars have been designed in accordance with consumer demand Toyota. Alphard car is also in accordance with the spirit Drive Beyond the theme of environmentally friendly vehicles.

Various advances in technology and vehicles that we show in the booth themed Beyond Mobility is a reflection of the determination to support Indonesia become one of the key players in the arena of the automotive industry in the ASEAN region and globally, "says Hiroyuki Fukui, President of TAM in ICE BSE Tangerang.

Beyond spirit Drive one of them implemented on Alphard car with a complete technology, innovative, fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly, as well as the best engine performance.

"The presence of New Alphard Hybrid is Toyota 's commitment to the future better, by presenting environmentally friendly vehicles, according to customer demand, particularly in the premium class," said GM Technical Service Division of PT Toyota-Astra Motor Dadi Hendriadi, in GIIAS 2015.

Dadi also said that TAM back adds various models of hybrid products in Indonesia, with the aim to provide the products and technologies that exceed the expectations of consumers, particularly in the premium MPV segment

"Not only more environmentally friendly, New Alphard Hybrid promises luxury and comfort similar to the existing variants," said Dedi.

For those consumers Toyota who loves and wants to have an environmentally friendly vehicle, now New Toyota Alphard 2.5 G Hybrid 4X4 can fulfill your wishes.
