As time goes by, people are now leaning toward more sustainable options thanks to the advancement of technologies and eco-friendly benefits these can give. In fact, a study by Kantar stated that 75 percent of Filipinos are actively seeking alternative solutions to help save the environment.
The Toyota Corolla Altis Hybrid
Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) knows exactly this need for sustainable mobility in the country. As such, the Japanese car brand is offering the Toyota Corolla Altis Hybrid to the local market. It is a compact sedan mounted with an electric motor that gives the vehicle its eco-friendly characteristics.
What’s special about the hybrid sedan’s electric motor is that it enhances both the vehicle’s performance capabilities and efficiency. Under the hood, this accompanies a 1.8-liter gasoline engine which can produce a total output of 97 hp and 142 Nm of torque. The powertrain is completed by a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to provide smoother drive comfort and better fuel economy.

The electric motor helps maximize fuel efficiency as it can charge itself when the vehicle is in motion, as well as during braking by recovering kinetic energy. With this, the electric motor can help the internal combustion engine power the vehicle, which can save fuel.
