Toyota Vs Hyundai Hybrid | Is Toyota Still The King of Hybrids?

In this video we do a direct comparison of hybrid systems of Toyota Vs Hyundai. Toyota mass produced the hybrid system back in the late 90s and today all other manufacturers have hybrid offerings but are they gaining advantage over Toyota?

In this video we'll take a look at key aspects of the Hybrid system of Toyota in the 4th generation and Hyundai as they roll out more and more hybrid and plug in hybrid models.

We'll look at the hybrid system design. Then we'll compare Engine choices and Transmissions. Then we'll talk about how they compare driving. We'll also take a look at their AWD designs and plug in hybrid design.

We'll also talk about the maintenance differences between the two so you can be well informed in your next hybrid purchase.

As a technician Toyota is the gold standard in hybrid technology and no other manufacturer has ever come close to the performance, refinement, reliability, longevity and quality powertrain.

My first hybrid was a 2000 Toyota Prius (purchased in September 1999) which had 204, 000 miles on it when I traded it in on a used 2010 Toyota Prius with 26K miles on it. The 2000 Prius was small, however, it served me well and I NEVER did anything to the brakes except change the brake fluid a few times in the 12 years of ownership! My 2010 Prius currently has 150, 000 miles on it and is going strong. I recently purchased a 2012 Camry Hybrid XLE for my wife with 129, 000 miles on it. It now has 160, 000 miles on it and is going strong. I really love Toyota Hybrids!

As someone who owns both 2020 Hyundai Ioniq hybrid and 2022 Toyota Corolla hybrid, I can definitely say Toyota's system is still the best and simpler to operate. Driving on the same routes, my Corolla consistently gets 15-20% better MPGs compared to the Ioniq. I am, in fact, contemplating to trade my Ioniq with the soon-upcoming all-new Prius.

We've owned 3 Toyota Hybrids all of which have been totally trouble free. Last year I sold my 2013 Camry Hybrid with 185, 000km on the clock to purchase the 2021 model, the man that bought it was going to use it as his second taxi. That 2013 car was running just as good as the day I bought it.

I purchased a 2022 corolla hybrid last winter...one of the smartest decisions of my life

My gf used to have a 2012 Hyundai Sonata which had oil burning at 67k miles. Hyundai gave us the run around (as expected) and tried convincing me that oil burning is normal at that mileage. She quickly sold it and we now have a 2019 Rav4 hybrid. Couldn't be happier with it. Great car.

Just replaced the hybrid battery pack on my Lexus es300h. At 271, 000 miles. It’s the same Nimh battery as the Avalon and Camry. Cost $2, 000 total for the install which was performed in less than an hour, in my driveway.

My 2015 Prius has 112, 600 miles and runs like a champ. Never gave me any issues & I drive it sort of hard sometimes. My next vehicle will definitely be another Toyota. I recommend them to everyone.

Hybrids are pretty complicated and they got it right from the beginning. I would not trust any other brand with this technology.

Toyota's greatest strength is that it has Toyota reliability. Hyundai's greatest weakness is, well, Hyundai. I've known Toyota, Ford and Honda owners who drive their vehicles for 15-25 years. I've never known a Hyundai owner who owned their vehicle for more than 8 years. My wife is still driving her Ford Escape that she bought for college. It turns 20 next year. We just gave a family member a 1995 Ford Explorer that my parents gave me. That person drove it across the country and it still drives extremely well (with more than 350K miles on it).

The best video since moving into the new shop! While I still prefer the step-by-step how to's (which wouldn't be a bad idea to repeat some of the old material in the new shop, a la Scotty), this is much more to the point and enlightening.

Hope this puts you on a roll.

Lots of hybrid comparison videos out there, but nice to see one focusing on maintenance issues. Thanks.

I convinced my husband to purchase a 2022 RAV4 Hybrid after our daughter totaled our 2016 Ford Escape. I really wanted an all electric vehicle, specifically the Volkswagen ID4, but after test-driving the RAV4 Hybrid, I was in love 😍!!!
My husband was skeptical at first, but after reviewing research, and seeing the high demand for the RAV4 Hybrid, he also became convinced!! We were blessed to secure our RAV4 below the market rate in our area, and we are TRUE believers in Toyota’s hybrid vehicles!! Here’s to 38 MPG’s!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thank you for the hybrid reviews, we’ve all been waiting for an unbiased honest congratulations on your u-tube success.

As a technician myself all I will say is the Toyota Hybrid design engineers are geniuses as they have designed a very complex system that is extremely reliable and easy to use for the owners, it really doesn't get any better, I love mine and and will continue to replace like with like when I need or want to.

[susanmeredith]

Very glad I made the right choice on a RAV4. My previous car was a Hyundai. They were trying to convince me how great the Hyundai hybrids are but IMO can’t beat Toyota who pioneered the technology.

[kcorymsidogmaricel]

I bought a Toyota Corolla hybrid in 2021. Estimated 52- 51 miles per gal. I get consistently between 60 to 71 miles per gal. I don't drive like granny either. I remember my first service, I mentioned my gas mileage, they responded... yeah they underestimate the miles per gallon. Awesome car !!

[knaka]

Great video! Thank you for the very comprehensive but easy to understand comparison!

[MakuLabs]

Your channel and content is truly one of a kind. Thank you for making this.

Proud to own three Toyota hybrids! Great video, thanks AMD!
