2025 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid: Fuel Efficiency & Performance Breakdown

Показать описание

Toyota's best-selling mid-size truck, the Tacoma, is getting a green makeover for 2025 with the Tacoma Hybrid. This new model combines the famous off-road capability of the Tacoma with a fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain. This makes it perfect for drivers who want to go on adventures and those who care about the environment.

The Tacoma Hybrid keeps the tough good looks that have made the truck a hit with fans. The signature grille and curved hood are still there, and the badges and mudflaps that look like they came from TRD Off-Road give a hint of the engine that's under there. There may be options for LED headlights with built-in fog lamps, a power sunroof, and color-keyed overfenders to add a personal touch, depending on the model. If you want to get the most out of your Tacoma Hybrid, you can get it with different bed choices, such as the long bed for extra-large items or the short bed for easier trail maneuvering. The TRD cars will have a new hood scoop that gives you a hint of the extra power that's inside. Options with composite beds are lighter, which means they use less gas, and they last longer. Blacked-out TRD wheels with tough all-terrain tires are available to finish off the off-road look. For an extra touch of class, higher versions come with chrome door handles and an exhaust tip.

The Tacoma Hybrid has a new 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid engine and an 8-speed automatic gearbox. This new engine has an amazing 326 horsepower and an amazing 465 lb-ft of torque, which is more than the regular gasoline Tacoma can do. The electric motor gives the bike quick torque for smooth acceleration on the road and extra power for tough off-road terrain. Drivers can choose from different drive modes to get the best performance for driving in cities, cruising on the highway, or going off the main path. The regenerative braking technology stores energy when the vehicle slows down, which saves even more gas. In terms of what it can do, the Tacoma Hybrid doesn't skimp. You can still get Toyota's tried-and-true TRD Off-Road package, which comes with FOX shocks, a locking rear differential, and crawl control to help you get through even the roughest tracks. It's also very good at towing, which makes the Tacoma Hybrid great for taking camping stuff, a small boat, or even an ATV on weekend trips.

The 2025 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid should be in stores by the end of summer 2024. Prices haven't been made public yet, but estimates from the business world put the starting MSRP in the mid-$40,000 range. Because it is capable, fuel-efficient, and uses cutting-edge technology, the Tacoma Hybrid is set to change the mid-size truck market and become a popular choice for drivers who want to go on adventures in a more environmentally friendly way.
