You’ll find hybrid, plug-in hybrid, fuel cell battery, and all-electric options featuring the latest comfort and tech features. When considering going electric, don’t forget to check out all the models Toyota offers. Here are five electrified Toyotas we believe are worth driving.

2023 Toyota bZ4X 

Toyota introduces its first-ever all-electric for mass production as the 2023 bZ4X. The bZ4X is an SUV available in two trims: XLE and Limited. The front-wheel-drive (FWD) trims operate on a single motor to produce 201 horsepower and 196 pound-feet of torque, while the all-wheel-drive (AWD) options use a dual-motor to deliver 214 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque. The EPA-estimated ranges are 252 miles for the XLE FWD, 228 miles for the XLE AWD, 242 miles for the Limited FWD, and 222 miles for the Limited AWD. 

2023 Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX 

The 2023 Toyota Tundra has seven trims: SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794, TRD Pro, and Capstone. While the first five trims use a standard gas-powered engine, a hybrid engine is optional on the Limited, Platinum, and 1794 and standard on the TRD Pro and Capstone. The i-FORCE MAX utilizes the same 3.5-liter V-6 found on the other trims but mates the engine to a battery-electric hybrid system for a combined output of 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque. This output is higher than the gas-powered counterpart. 

2023 Toyota Camry Hybrid 

You can get the 2023 Toyota Camry Hybrid in five trims: LE, SE, SE Nightshade, XLE, and XSE. The Camry Hybrid features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor for a hybrid system net power of 208 horsepower. The engine is paired with an electronically controlled continuously variable automatic transmission for a smooth ride every time. 

2023 Toyota Sequoia 

You can purchase the 2023 Toyota Sequoia in five trims: SR5, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro, and Capstone. Sequoia’s i-FORCE MAX turbocharged V-6 hybrid engine delivers an astounding 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque to take you where you need to go. You can enjoy an EPA-estimated combined rating of 22 mpg with this large three-row SUV, providing you with more family time on the road between fill-ups. 

2023 Toyota Sienna 

If you’re in the market for a minivan, the 2023 Toyota Sienna is available in six trims: LE, XLE, XSE, Limited, 25th Anniversary Edition, and Platinum. Each trim is powered by a hybrid 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with two front electric motors for the front-wheel drive and three motors, two in front and one in the rear, on the all-wheel drive. This system works together to deliver a combined output of 245 horsepower. 

We expect to see other electrified entries for the 2023 model year, including the Venza, RAV4, Prius Prime, Corolla, and Mirai.
