SANTA MARIA, Calif., Oct. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Toyota started its hybrid offerings with the Prius two decades ago. Now the auto manufacturer has expanded its hybrid offerings to nearly its entire lineup. In the Santa Maria area, Toyota of Santa Maria has the 2021 Toyota hybrid options that have proven to be very desirable among California residents.
Those already familiar with hybrids likely know the Prius. It's back for 2021 and with it comes a new variant called the Prius Prime. The key difference between the two models is that the Prius Prime is what is known as a PHEV or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. This means drivers can plug the Prius Prime in and utilize a charge from its battery to drive short distances on electricity alone. When the battery charge runs out, the gas engine kicks in and it operates just like any other hybrid.
Other, more well-known Toyota models offer hybrid variants. The Camry, Corolla, Highlander, RAV4 and Avalon all offer 2021 hybrid models that are available in the Toyota Santa Maria inventory. In fact, the RAV4 has another variant available known as the RAV4 Prime. When this model becomes available later this year, it will also offer PHEV charging options similar to the Prius Prime.
Lastly, the all-new Venza, which shares a name with a previously discontinued Toyota model, is now available. This model, like the Prius, is only offered as a hybrid signaling a new direction for the development of the Toyota lineup offering here in America. The Venza is among the latest arrivals in the Toyota of Santa Maria inventory.
