EVERY TOYOTA HYBRID COMPARED: FUEL ECONOMY VS VALUE VS DRIVING: WHICH IS BEST IN 2023?

EV Channels Review

This comprehensive comparison evaluates nine Toyota hybrid models available in Australia, focusing on fuel economy, value, and driving dynamics. The review highlights the Yaris as the most fuel-efficient, achieving an impressive 2.69 L/100km, significantly under its claimed 3.3 L/100km. The Camry emerges as the best value for money, offering substantial space and features for its price point, despite its aging interior. The Corolla Cross is crowned the overall winner, praised for its near-perfect blend of spaciousness, practicality, comfort, and enjoyable driving characteristics, making it the most broadly appealing option. While the RAV4 is acknowledged for its strong all-round performance and popularity, the Kluger is noted as the thirstiest and largest, best suited for those needing seven seats. The CHR is singled out for its uninspiring powertrain, though its dynamic chassis is a redeeming factor. The review also touches on wait times, with the RAV4 remaining the top seller despite the growing popularity of the Corolla Cross.
