2025 TOYOTA TACOMA HYBRID REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid TRD Pro offers potent hybrid power with 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, significantly improving upon the previous generation's drivability and technology. The reviewer praises the instant torque, improved seating position, and modern interior. However, the TRD Pro trim, while an exceptional off-roader with features like a locking rear differential and sway bar disconnect, is deemed too firm and impractical for daily driving. The reviewer strongly recommends the Limited trim with its adaptive variable suspension for everyday use. Criticisms include the lack of a driver-side grab handle, the firm and restrictive "isodynamic" seats in the TRD Pro (making ingress/egress and rear passenger comfort difficult), and the high price point, especially in Canada, where it approaches full-size truck territory. The removable JBL speaker is also flagged as a potential theft risk.
