An Overview of the 2021 Toyota Hybrid Lineup

Toyota is paving the path to an electrified future with its 2021 hybrid lineup. In this lineup, you’ll find several sedans and sizable SUVs to choose from. Here’s a quick guide as to what your Toyota hybrid options are in the 2021 model year.

Sedans

Your 2021 Toyota hybrid sedan options, in order of most affordable starting MSRP to the most luxurious, are the Corolla, Prius, Camry, and Avalon. The Corolla is the smallest of the four and the Avalon is the most spacious. The Prius’ hatchback style makes it a popular choice for drivers who need a little more space than conventional sedans offer. The Camry offers an exciting hybrid driving experience with features such as sport drive modes and an available sport-tuned suspension system.

SUVs

Your 2021 Toyota hybrid SUV options are the RAV4, Venza, and Highlander, in order of smallest to largest starting MSRP. If you’re searching for a hybrid that doesn’t put limits on your adventures, opt for a well-equipped RAV4. The RAV4 Hybrid comes standard with an all-wheel-drive system that boosts your traction on slick roads. The new generation of the revived Venza offers a luxurious experience with available features such as heated and ventilated perforated SofTex-trimmed seats. The three-row Highlander offers space for up to eight passengers or seven with the more comfortable captain’s chairs for the second row.

Each of these SUVs, as well as most Toyota models, come standard with driver-assist technologies to keep you safer on the road. Be sure to choose a model equipped with the blind-spot monitor to make changing lanes stress-free.

Minivan

Toyota also offers the all-new Sienna hybrid minivan. If you need a rolling home-away-from-home, you may appreciate the Sienna’s seating capacity for up to eight passengers. The minivan’s trim levels allow you to find a model equipped with the features you’re most excited about. Though some larger SUVs offer the same number of seats as this minivan, the Sienna excels in giving your crew space to stretch out and relax.

Plug-Ins and Fuel Cells

The vehicles above are considered conventional hybrids, which rely on regenerative braking to charge their batteries. The second type of hybrid is the plug-in hybrid, which you may also see described as PHEVs. Toyota offers two of these in its 2021 lineup: the Prius Prime and the RAV4 Prime. Plug-in hybrids can be charged with standard home outlets, professionally installed home charging units, and public fast-charging stations.

The 2021 Toyota Mirai sedan is an example of a rarer type of electrified vehicle. It’s an all-electric model that runs on hydrogen through what’s called a fuel cell system. It has a better city mileage, but its highway mileage falls between the conventional hybrid’s and plug-in hybrid models’ highway mileage averages. However, it’s the only Toyota model that cuts out emissions entirely.
