Under the Hood
A 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine producing 73 horsepower and 82 pound-feet of torque mates with a 60-horsepower electric motor for a total horsepower output of 99. That adds up to an EPA-estimated 53 mpg in the city and 46 mpg on the highway.
Powering the electric motor is a 144-volt nickel hydride battery pack that Toyota engineers set low under the rear passenger seat so the vehicle’s center of gravity is kept low.
