Denis DroppaHybrid cars haven’t exactly zoomed out of local showrooms, given their ability to provide strong performance with low fuel thirst. With rising fuel costs these cars are now becoming a more serious prospect, especially as their prices are becoming more reasonable.
SA’s market leader says environmental consciousness is growing in SA and the number of Toyota customers that would consider an electrified car has grown from 19% to 32% since 2018. Next up will be the locally-built Corolla Cross hybrid to be launched later this year, and in 2023 Toyota SA aims to introduce an all-electric car but hasn’t revealed which model. The Lexus line up will fully consist of NEV models by 2025, and the Toyota Prius will continue to be offered locally.The petrol-electric Corolla becomes SA’s most affordable hybrid and is sold in a single variant in XS specification.
