As more drivers look for ways to save money at the pump and reduce their environmental impact, electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining popularity in Pekin. EVs are powered partly or solely by electricity and can offer significant savings on fuel. Toyota is a leader in efficient and eco-friendly vehicles, with an impressive selection of hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and full EVs to choose from. Here's an overview of the electrified models available from Toyota.
Toyota Hybrids
Toyota helped popularize hybrid vehicles with the iconic Toyota Prius near Bloomington. Today, Toyota offers hybrid powertrains on its most popular models, from the compact Toyota Corolla Hybrid to family-friendly SUVs like the Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. These hybrids seamlessly switch between the gas engine and electric motor to optimize efficiency. You can enjoy outstanding fuel economy without needing to plug in. If you're in the Pekin area, stop by Fort's Toyota of Pekin to check out our selection of new Toyota hybrids.
Toyota Plug-In Hybrids
For even more electric driving capability, consider a Toyota plug-in hybrid like the Toyota Prius Prime or Toyota RAV4 Prime. Plug-in hybrids can recharge from an external power source, allowing them to drive longer distances on electricity alone. Once the battery depletes, the vehicle seamlessly switches to hybrid mode for continued efficient driving. Peoria drivers will appreciate the flexibility of taking emissions-free trips around the city while still having a gas engine for longer journeys.
Toyota EVs
For emissions-free performance and the latest in battery technology, go full electric with the Toyota bZ4X SUV. This purpose-built fully electric vehicle delivers instant acceleration, smooth and nearly silent operation and an eco-friendly footprint. The bZ4X offers ample range for daily driving needs around Bartonville and beyond.
