Toyota Vehicles with Low to No Emissions

The Toyota lineup of vehicles are equipped with a variety of engines and powertrains. Some models have internal combustion engines, while others have battery-electric motors. Others have hybrid powertrains either with mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid configurations.

If you’re looking to save money on fuel, it’s important to take a look at the fuel ratings, especially between vehicles with combustion engines and those with battery packs. When you’re ready to experience them in person, we invite you to visit Tracy Toyota near Stockton and Livermore.

Gas-Powered Vehicles and Their EPA-Estimated Fuel Ratings

Toyota has several gas-powered cars, trucks, and SUVs. Many have fuel-efficient four-cylinder powertrains, especially those with hybrid systems.

The Toyota Crown is one of the most fuel-efficient gas-powered models in the Toyota lineup. The hybrid sedan is available with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and a pair of electric motors or a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with the same hybrid system. The entry-level Crown delivers an EPA-estimated fuel rating of 42/41 MPG, while the turbocharged model delivers 29/32 MPG.

The Toyota Highlander is a popular model for its size, safety, and technology. This midsize sedan is available as a hybrid and a standard combustion engine. The Highlander comes with a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine that delivers 22/29 MPG when outfitted with front-wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive models get an EPA-estimated 21/28 MPG.

Electric Motors and MPGe Ratings

The Toyota bZ4x is Toyota’s only battery-electric vehicle. This four-door electric SUV has two configurations. The first is a front-wheel-drive model with a single 150-kW motor, and the second has all-wheel drive with two 80-kW motors. Both models have a 72.0-kWh battery pack. Even though the Toyota bZ4x does not use gasoline, the EPA-estimated fuel rating is 119 MPGe for the FWD models and 104 MPGe for the AWD models.

Charging the Toyota bZ4x takes about 30 minutes to charge at a DC fast charging station. The range varies based on the drivetrain, but drivers can extend the battery by using regenerative braking. EV owners can charge at home with a Level 2 charger, which reduces fuel costs (electricity costs) significantly when compared to the costs of filling up at a public charging station.
