Continue to launch new hybrid cars – Toyota makes breakthroughs in green technology
Together with the new Corolla Cross, Camry and Altis 1.8 HEV, Toyota promises to provide an attractive user experience in addition to maximum environmental protection and is suitable for Vietnamese traffic.
In August 2020, Vietnamese consumers first experienced the popular hybrid car with the Corolla Cross 1.8 HEV product. By February 2022, nearly 3,100 hybrid vehicles had been delivered to customers, equivalent to 12% of Corolla Cross sales, exceeding Toyota’s expectations. Following that success, Toyota launched a hybrid version of the Camry and on March 9, the Corolla Altis hybrid. Thus, Toyota’s “hybridization” strategy can be seen clearly in Vietnam when the world’s largest car brand in turn brings hybrid technology to popular models. Why did Toyota go the hybrid route over mass-launching electric cars – which is a global trend?
The Corolla Cross hybrid was quickly well received by users
The answer comes from the transportation infrastructure, efficiency, and environmental protection of self-charging hybrid cars. First, hybrid cars do not change driving behavior, do not need to add new transportation infrastructure, can be used anywhere as long as there is… gasoline, so hybrid cars are more comfortable than cars, a lot of electricity. Second, the use, repair and maintenance of hybrid vehicles is no different from traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, the battery life of the vehicle is said to be the same as the endurance of the vehicle and it has been proven in real terms. With the newly launched Corolla Altis hybrid, the company is also offering a battery warranty of up to 7 years. And furthermore, using a hybrid car brings many economic benefits to the environment.
According to numerous studies by the University of Science and Technology as well as Registry announcements, the Corolla Cross 1.8HEV is considered the most fuel-efficient car model in Vietnam today with an average consumption of only 4.2L/100km, second place is the Camry hybrid with 4.6L/100km . This means you have to spend less money on fuel, which in turn reduces emissions, thereby protecting the environment.
According to the Vietnam Register, the Corolla Cross hybrid and Camry hybrid are the two most fuel efficient cars
Due to its great benefits, hybrid cars are becoming very popular in developed countries, even neighboring countries such as Thailand and Singapore have many policies to promote hybrid cars and pure electric vehicles at the same time. All countries have laid out clear roadmaps, choosing hybrid cars as a stepping stone for the transition from internal combustion cars to electric vehicles. After all, electric cars do not emit CO2 when operating, but the amount of electricity to charge the car indirectly consumes CO2, even many times that of gasoline cars.
In Vietnam, when the main source of energy was thermal power, according to the EVN announcement, the amount of gas expended to generate one kW of electricity to charge an electric car is more than the emissions of a single petrol/oil engine vehicle. Not to mention to produce batteries for electric vehicles, rare earth sources and rare metals need to be mined more, causing resource depletion…
In addition, electric vehicles require a lot of new things, from infrastructure, changes in consumption habits, to the shortage of too few charging stations… That’s why developing countries choose a support strategy. The development of hybrid vehicles goes hand in hand with the promotion of electric vehicles.
Recently, on March 9, Toyota Vietnam introduced its third hybrid model: Corolla Altis 1.8HEV
The latest hybrid model launched by Toyota Vietnam is the Corolla Altis 1.8HEV, using the same engine block and battery as the previous Cross model, priced at 860 million VND on par with competitors but bringing a new experience for customers. Altis 2022 is also built on the global TNGA design platform, integrating the TSS safety package including pre-collision warning, adaptive throttle, automatic high beam, warning and lane guard assistance. . Apart from other features such as blind spot warning, tire pressure warning, electronic handbrake with automatic brake retainer.

Toyota has also increased the interior space with many modern conveniences such as windshield display, wireless charging, 9-inch multi-connection screen, 2-zone automatic climate control, high leather seat material, levels, 10-way power driver. seats… All these equipment together with superior hybrid technology make the new Corolla Altis the top choice in the C-segment sedan segment in Vietnam.
Thus, Toyota’s hybrid product range has 3 products and promises to develop further in the future, fulfilling Toyota’s commitment to greening Vietnam’s traffic system.
To show gratitude and peace of mind to customers who have loved and trusted the Toyota brand, Toyota Vietnam launched a promotional program with a 2 year/50,000 km extended warranty package as a gift (depending on conditions). ) for new Corolla Altis, Corolla Cross and Camry customers. Especially for the Corolla Altis Hybrid, Corolla Cross Hybrid and Camry Hybrid versions, there is an additional warranty extension package for an electric battery of 4 years/50,000 km (whichever comes first). This program is valid from March 9, 2022 until the end of December 31, 2022. Thus, the total warranty period for the Corolla Altis, Corolla Cross and Camry cars for customers in the promotional program is up to 5 years/150,000 Km (whichever comes first) and the warranty period for the Electric versions of the Corolla Altis Hybrid, Corolla Cross Hybrid and Camry Hybrid batteries will be covered. 7 years/150,000 km (whichever comes first). |
