Toyota wants to launch large-scale hybrid SUV

According to overseas media reports, Toyota plans to launch a large-scale hybrid SUV in 2016 to meet increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements.

According to reports, Toyota plans to add new hybrid versions to the Land Cruiser line of SUVs. Similarly, Toyota also plans to provide hybrid versions of SUVs for emerging markets such as the Fortuner.

Toyota is currently building a lot of hybrid power. In 1997, the Prius had already been launched. Now it has provided more than 20 hybrid models, but these models are mostly concentrated on cars. As a result, Toyota has sold over 5 million hybrid vehicles over the years. Their hybrid technology can help save about 20-30% of fuel.

The most direct reason why Toyota introduced hybrid technology for large-scale SUVs is that countries such as the United States have increasingly stringent fuel consumption requirements. Hybrid technology can allow Toyota models to have higher MPG values ​​(Miles Per Gallon, It means that you can run miles per gallon, the higher the better.)

We know that the US automobile market particularly favors large-size and full-size SUVs. Toyota's Sequoias compete in this market with Carlyle, Yukon and other models, and Carlyle has already launched a hybrid version. Toyota, which is more adept at mixing technology, has no such model.
