These cars are proving to be perfect for drivers who are looking for ways to save money and decrease their carbon footprint. It just makes sense. As hybrid vehicles continue to gain momentum, Toyota has readied its 2017 hybrid models just in time. Buyers will find that these new models offer much more than what meets the eye.

In the Mode, Not Mood

The 2017 Prius Prime Plug is one of the most talked about cars of the year. It ranked in the top three among other plug-in hybrid competitors. Its features include multiple motors, a unique clutch, and an expansive electric range of over 50 miles. The three driving modes also separate this vehicle from many others. Drivers can select either EV Mode, EV Auto mode, and Hybrid mode. This allows them to manage battery use. With prices as low as $19,500, Toyota has proven that it’s on the right track.  

Hybrid Meets Classic

Another popular hybrid option is the new and improved 2017 Camry. At first glance car buyers are sure to be allured by the classy sport mesh front grille, LED highlights, and chrome trimmings. They can experience the infusion of hybrid frugality and luxury in motion for under $27,000. The hybrid SE model offers fuel efficiency with city mpg of 40, customized wheels to improve fuel economy, and a convenient energy monitor available within the dashboard.

Room for Adventure

The 2017 Avalon Hybrid offers additional space for drivers requiring a little more room. This full-size sedan is fully loaded with Toyota’s trademarked Hybrid Synergy Drive system and an electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECTV). Drivers can expect high performance, enhanced safety, upgraded technology features and a distinctive new look for under $38,000.

Untouchable Prudence

Families looking for stellar safety ratings and features might meet their match with the 2017 Highlander Hybrid. It received top ratings from the insurance institute for highway safety. With room for seven, energy-efficient windows, 27/28 miles per gallon, and a high-powered V6 engine, the Toyota Highlander is not your average family car. Its Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) status make it a well-rounded choice among competitors.

Nothing Spared

The 2017 RAV4 Hybrid tops it off with a full list of features to complement its cost efficiency. Drivers will surely be impressed by the 27-mpg fuel economy averages, in addition to tons of other cool features. The 7-inch display makes it easy to heed warnings of blind spot obstructions, access satellite radio stations, or avoid traffic with the navigation system. Seats with massage functions, top speeds of over 110 miles per hour, and an upgraded exterior are just a few of many stand out features.

These five new models for 2017 prove that Toyota’s innovation is still in motion. From the moderate and trendy Prius prime to the feature rich RAV4 hybrid, buyers can find just what they are looking for. Luxury, style, and affordability has arrived.
