Are you looking to make the switch to a hybrid in 2022? If you’re contemplating the change, now is the time to transform your life with a Toyota hybrid.

Pick a Hybrid That Matches Your Priorities

With so many great hybrids to choose from, focus on the one that will support your lifestyle, priorities, and preferences. Three of the top contenders are the Prius, RAV4 Hybrid, and Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

1. Toyota Prius

The longest on the market and most popular hybrid is the Toyota Prius. It’s best known for having great fuel efficiency. At an EPA-estimated 51 miles per gallon, you’ll drive without fear of rising gas prices. New LE and XLE features take this hatchback compact to a new level of luxury.

The LE AWD offers all-wheel drive on-demand, plus smart key and push-button features. The XLE features upgrades for sensory comfort, such as heated front seats, heated steering, wireless smartphone charging, and more.

If you’re seeking the perfect blend of beauty, design, fuel efficiency, and cargo space, check out the 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. This hybrid may just be the answer to your dreams with features such as the blind-spot monitor, rear-cross traffic alert, roomy cargo space, and LED fog lights. The Highlander offers a commanding blend of luxury, sportiness, and sophistication.

Why Hybrids Make Dreams Come True

There are a number of compelling reasons why these vehicles are so popular. Here are our top five reasons to purchase a hybrid this year:

1. Impressive Fuel Efficiency

Hybrid vehicles are an increasingly popular choice, especially in response to rising gas prices. For instance, the Highlander Hybrid has an EPA-estimated 36 mpg combined. This efficiency gives you peace of mind and the freedom to hit the open road, whether you’re driving around town or heading out for a backroad adventure.

Curious how much money a hybrid saves? The EPA’s fuel-savings calculator is an online tool that estimates how much you can save. You can calculate fuel costs and savings for different vehicles. Spending less at the pump is a wonderful feeling, and those savings add up quickly.

2. Awesome Cargo Space

It’s great to know that it’s not necessary to sacrifice cargo space for fuel-efficiency. Hybrid options like the 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid have plenty of cargo space. You can store all your gear with ease. No matter where your ultimate adventure takes you, ample cargo space is a top priority. The Highlander has room for all your camping, fishing, and sporting gear.

3. Multimedia on Wheels

Are you, your partner, and your family looking for a robust multimedia system? All new Toyota hybrid models have a complete system with Apple CarPlay integration for your iPhone, Android Auto for compatible devices, Amazon Alexa, and more. With this technology, everyone in your ride will be able to access their devices in peace.

4. Safety Awards

Looking for a top safety pick? You can’t go wrong with a Toyota hybrid. Toyota Safety Sense is standard in all new Toyota vehicles. The Toyota Highlander, for example, is rated as a top safety vehicle and has earned the coveted IIHS TSP+ rating. It also has the NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety Rating.

The right safety features are important for a safe drive and peace of mind no matter where you drive.

5. Best Resale Value

In addition to immediate rewards in the driving experience, family peace, and equipment storage, you may be looking toward the future. What happens when it’s time to trade in and get a new car? Long-term value is an important reason why hybrids are so popular. It’s reassuring to know that according to the Kelley Blue Book, the 2021 Toyota brand won the Best Resale Value Award.

Deciding Which Hybrid To Buy

How can you decide which Toyota hybrid is right for you? It can be challenging with so many great options to choose from.

Start by asking yourself a few questions and focusing on your personal preferences, budget, and lifestyle. If you’re in a partnership or family, discuss the options with your loved ones. If you’re a solo driver, explore your options on your own or with the help of a sales associate.

Lifestyle

Some members of your family may thrive on adventure, trekking from the ocean to the mountains. If this is on your activity calendar, look for features that make the adventure easy, fun, and rewarding. This is likely to include plenty of cargo space, excellent fuel economy, and great handling on highways and backroads. Check out a Toyota Highlander Hybrid or RAV4 Hybrid.

Budget

Knowing your budget in advance streamlines decision-making. Check into financing options, interest rates, and payment plans. Look for a monthly payment amount that gives you peace of mind. With a hybrid, you’ll save money at the gas pump. Keep this calculation in mind while evaluating costs. Talk to a representative at Beaverton Toyota to discuss your financing options.

Driving Experience

Once you’ve narrowed down your options with lifestyle and budget—and included everyone in your family in the discussion—go for a test drive. Check out one or two vehicles that stand out as your top choices. Be sure to focus on your driving experience. What do you enjoy more? What puts a smile on your face?

Personal Preferences

Choose upgrades that help you get the most out of your new vehicle. Before you make a final selection, talk with a sales associate to understand the scope of what’s possible.

When choosing the best vehicle, there’s always something that lies outside the box of logic. It could the joy of a smart key or the luxury of heated seats. It could be big changes on the horizon—starting a family, beginning a sport, or getting a new job.
