Hybrid 

Hybrid engines are your typical hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) that use a combination of gasoline and an electric motor to maximize power and efficiency. Also, just about any car you want in the Toyota lineup is available as a N Charlotte Toyota hybrid. A N Charlotte Toyota hybrid cannot be plugged in to receive charge. These types of cars charge the battery through regenerative braking and by the internal combustion engine. The extra power that this gives allows a smaller engine to be placed under the hood. Some N Charlotte Toyota cars that have this engine under the hood are the following:

  • Highlander Hybrid
  • Corolla Hybrid
  • RAV4 Hybrid
  • Venza
  • Sienna
  • Camry Hybrid
