Greater efficiency

As of 2012, Toyota is the most fuel-efficient full-line automotive manufacturer. 7 We accomplish this not only by using some of the latest engine technologies, but also by examining every aspect of every car we build. Electric Power Steering on vehicles like Corolla, RAV4 and Camry, for example, reduces load on the engine, which reduces fuel consumption and gets rid of the pump belt and hydraulic lines.

Reduced drag

Another reason cars like Avalon, Camry and Prius get exceptional mileage is their aerodynamic efficiency. The less wind drag a vehicle creates, the less power it takes to push it through the air, which means less fuel is consumed. The original Prius is one of the most aerodynamic production cars in the world, with a drag coefficient of just 0.25 – that’s better than just about any car you can name. And while Prius is the most aerodynamic car we build, the Prius c is also a class leader, with a 0.28 drag coefficient.

Now and in the future

When compared to the average car, Prius alone has saved American consumers more than an estimated 881 million gallons of gas, $2.19 billion in fuel costs, and 12.4 million tons of CO2 emissions. But we're only just beginning. In 2010, Toyota partnered with Tesla Motors, based in Palo Alto, California, to create electric vehicles (EVs) like the new Toyota all-electric SUV: RAV4 EV. And in 2015, we'll introduce a fuel cell vehicle, which will rely solely on batteries and hydrogen, with zero emission water vapor as exhaust.

  1. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, excludes the Delivery, Processing and Handling Fee of $795 for Cars, $845 for Small/Medium Trucks (Sienna, RAV4, Highlander Gas, Highlander HV, FJ Cruiser, 4Runner, Tacoma and Venza), and $995 for Large Trucks (Land Cruiser, Tundra and Sequoia). (Historically, vehicle manufacturers and distributors have charged a separate fee for processing, handling and delivering vehicles to dealerships. Toyota's charge for these services is called the "Delivery, Processing and Handling Fee" and is based on the value of the processing, handling and delivery services Toyota provides as well as Toyota's overall pricing structure. Toyota may make a profit on the Delivery, Processing and Handling Fee.) Excludes taxes, license, title and available or regionally required equipment. The Delivery, Processing and Handling Fee in AL, AR, FL, GA, LA, MS, NC, OK, SC and TX will be higher. Actual dealer price will vary.
  2. 2013 EPA-estimated mileage. Actual mileage will vary.
