Are you searching for a vehicle that is not only modern, stylish, and powerful, but also designed to minimise your impact on the environment? If so, do yourself a favour and take a good long look at Toyota, because no other automaker goes to greater lengths to make their vehicles as green as possible. Here we will look at just a few of the many earth-friendly features you can get in a new Toyota.

  1. Eco Drive Monitor

Your driving style plays a big role in how fuel efficient your vehicle can be and Toyota’s brilliant Eco Drive Monitor lets you know exactly how and where you can make improvements. It does so by providing a wealth of real-time data related to everything from your acceleration and cornering to your braking habits.

  1. Hybrid Synergy Drive

Toyota’s latest and greatest hybrid system will minimize your impact on the environment dramatically. It boasts an 8 litre, 4-cylinder engine that offers up to 121 Net horsepower and delivers fuel economy ratings as low as 4.4L/100km in the city and 4.6L/100km on the highway, so you’ll enjoy guilt-free driving and be filling up a lot less often.

  1. Regenerative Braking

Even the energy normally lost during braking is utilized in a Toyota thanks to futuristic regenerative braking technology. This amazing system is designed to capture any excess energy created due to friction and then divert it straight back into your vehicle’s battery for future use.

  1. Stunning aerodynamics

Between their sleek lines, dynamic curves, and sculpted headlights, Toyota vehicles are among the most aerodynamic vehicles on the market, which does wonders for your fuel efficiency not to mention your impact on the environment. Some Toyota vehicles, such as the new RAV4, even feature a shark-fin antenna that reduces highway turbulence even further.

  1. ECO Mode

Want to ensure that your Toyota is always running at its efficient best? If so, simply press the ECO Mode button and your ride will do the rest. It does so by managing your vehicle’s fuel input, gear shifting, and even the air conditioning system to ensure that you enjoy maximum fuel efficiency at all times.

  1. LED Lights

Lightbulb technology has sure come a long way in recent years and none are more efficient or effective than LED’s. Not only are they designed to provide brighter and longer beams than ever before, but they require less energy and last longer than any other bulbs. These revolutionary changes haven’t been lost on Toyota, which is why Toyota vehicles are now equipped with LED headlights, taillights, and daytime running lights.
