Something a bit different from us: a brand-wide hybrid megatest. What other comparisons would you like to see? (And sorry about the cicadas. That is the noise of Australia sometimes!)

@nightowldickson 11 месяцев назад

It would have been nice to compare the hybrid vs non-hybrid versions in terms of price and how many km it takes for the hybrid version to break even. And also the cost of replacing the batteries (and how long they last).

@chasingcars 11 месяцев назад

Something we can consider for the future. As for the cost of battery replacement (noting they are warranted to 5 years as standard, and warranted to 10 years if you get an annual checkup), that's not really possible - it wouldn't cost you anything in that period, and we can't accurately predict where battery prices will be in 2033.

Thank you for this comprehensive comparison. I have a 2022 RAV4 Cruiser AWD hybrid and Corolla Cross Atmos AWD hybrid. I find the Atmos much more practical as I live near the city and streets are narrow. The Cruiser has slightly more space but we find the Atmos much more agile and functional for daily use. The auto-park is an added bonus if a family member does not reverse parallel park well!

I have the Corolla Cross Atmos Hybrid AWD and it is perfection. Cool to drive around Gold Coast and The Northern Rivers.

@MaxFromSydney1 11 месяцев назад

Toyota don’t get enough credit for their mature hybrid tech, which provides a huge step change reduction in fuel consumption compared to conventional ICE-powered cars, for a relatively modest additional cost, while using a fraction of the battery components of a plug-in hybrid or BEV. In a big country like Australia with an immature recharging network, Toyota’s hybrid range just hits the sweet spot for alot of people who want a car that can take them on any paved road or well maintained dirt / gravel road accessible for 2WD vehicles, and without any range anxiety. We can’t pretend that BEVs are the entire answer to driving down CO2 emissions from vehicle use. For me personally, I was in the market for an SUV early in 2023, and the Rav4 Cruiser Hybrid was in the mix, but after 2 local Toyota dealers in Sydney warned me of 2 year + wait times, I ended up buying an Outback XT instead. Toyota’s inability to supply the demand for their hybrids is the limiting factor for them selling more cars in Australia.

@chasingcars 11 месяцев назад

I do think that’s true in some ways and full hybrids continue to allow many people to seriously cut their emissions (and fuel budget). We credit this as much as we should, including with this vid! That said, it’s also fair to say that Toyota needs to step up its BEV game, because there is a (growing) slice of buyers for whom a BEV is suitable and can be charged cleanly.

@somerealrandomguy 11 месяцев назад

It would be true if Toyota can make more Hybrid cars, or better yet replace majority of their ICE with Hybrid. As it stands though, Toyota hybrid only represents around 10-15% of Toyota total production worldwide. It would be good if you can buy a Toyota Hybrid car, but like you said you can't. Meanwhile both Tesla and BYD BEVs are readily available. And don't get me wrong, we have bpth a 2021 RAV4 GXL Hybrid AWD and BYD Atto 3 ER. BYD is fast becoming the Toyota of BEV with affordable but decent quality offering.

I’ve got the SL top of the line 2023 Camry Hybrid and I love it ! Very smooth and refined with the power train having plenty of torque for traffic light squirts and overtaking power. I average 800km to a 50 ltr tank. Yet it’s a big roomy car. It’s marvellous !

@xuningcomingup 11 месяцев назад

A very well thought-out and methodically executed test. Thanks a bunch, guys. If I'm not mistaken, Camry and RAV4 share the same engine and yet the fuel grades required are different: 95 for Camry vs 91 for RAV4. I'm wondering if you could kindly share your insights regarding the difference?

How about a comparison of all hybrids? I did a recent shop around for hybrids and was really disappointed by the interiors of all the Toyotas - they all felt they could really do with a major update, even the new Corolla Cross. And for similar money, competitors are building cars that really make you feel like you're driving a nice car.

Extraordinary to the point that I'm suspicious that the fuel pump clicked off early on the second fill. That almost matches an EV for energy costs!

@chasingcars 11 месяцев назад

We fuel to the second ‘click’ to avoid that issue. The number is doable-our long-term Yaris Cross Hybrid GXL delivered lifetime fuel economy of 3.8L/100km, and that car was not driven for frugality. It saw quite a bit of assertive driving and testing too.

@jessexi 11 месяцев назад

Did someone talk about 91 octane vs 95 that could be something of consideration in terms of running costs ?

@CampbellSimpson 11 месяцев назад

A good general rule is that 91 is about 10% cheaper than 95, but 5% worse range, in cars that can adjust to both. I run 91 all the time in my cars (one of which is a hybrid) and give them a tank of 98 every now and then to clean any residues. Edit: and I would always choose a 91 compatible car if I could!

@0HOON0 11 месяцев назад

@@CampbellSimpson Does Australia have engineering detergent standards like "Top Tier" in the US? If so, and if the fuel met this standard, there is no need to run a higher octane to help clean the fuel system.

@JoshuaMcTackett 11 месяцев назад

It’s a relieving pass mark (“Ps get degrees 😏” energy) that Toyota offer so many hybrids, but as a former Toyota guy, I’m very disappointed at their non existent battery electric options. They’re offering cutting edge tech from 20 years ago across the range. I moved from Toyota to Subaru, now to Tesla and BYD. Both Tesla and BYD make Japan’s offerings look like the script for an Adam Sander movie. (Because like Adam Sander, he’s supposed to be funny, and was popular 20 years ago)

@MatchFixah 11 месяцев назад

Those fuel economy numbers look very low, almost too low. I have a 22 RAV4 (AWD) hybrid and after a year of ownership I really have to nany it to get 5.2/5.3L per 100kms. Getting 4.7L/100 would have to be for that single test/trip. I don't think that'd be a consistent result over long term use.

@chasingcars 11 месяцев назад

How you personally drive is a variable we can't control. We performed a consistent loop that all the vehicles drove in the same conditions. We're simply presenting the results of our loop.

@MatchFixah 11 месяцев назад

@chasingcars I'm not saying the numbers reported were under cooked, if anything my AWD would be slightly thirstier than the 2wd you tested. All I'm saying is long term use results would vary from a single trip (based on various driving conditions, fuel type, number of passengers). One trip I had using 98 fuel i got 4.3L/kms, but that's certainly not my average over a year with local and highway driving running on no less than 95 fuel, driving conservatively on eco mode.
