A Quiet Revolution
A Quiet Revolution
Now we aren't claiming to have found the cure for global warming, but there are three incontrovertible truths about Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD):
- You will drastically cut down on your fuel consumption
- You will radically reduce hazardous emissions (much lower particulate and nitrogen oxide emissions than a diesel, plus there's no particulate filter to go wrong)
- You will be helping to protect the environment
The new Yaris HSD epitomises this ethos. Featuring a new powertrain that has been optimised for installation within the vehicle's compact, extremely efficient packaging design it delivers without detriment to performance, passenger accommodation or loadspace. The downsized hybrid system combines a substantially re-engineered 1.5 litre petrol engine with a lighter, more compact electric motor, transaxle, inverter and battery pack. With low fuel consumption (average fuel consumption of just 3.8 l/100 km), low environmental impact, strong acceleration, great manoeuvrability and unique all-electric EV capabilities, it represents the ultimate urban car.
