Due to frequent charge and discharge cycle of battery - is there any difference between battery life of normal battery and battery of hybrid cars ? or is it all together different technology in hybrid car's battery ?
Have a Gen 3 Prius & love it. Comfortable and convenient, with MPG close to 50. No need to plug in or hunt for charging stations. One quick stop at any gas station and it can go 800+ kilometers. Will choose hybrid over pure EV without any hesitation.
50mpg means 4.7 l/100. My 22 old golf 1.9 tdi has 5l/100. Your car cost 20.000, myne 1000, with The 19.000 i buy fuel for all my life. S-o, where is the winns in that?
I had gen3 plug-in and I was doing 100mpg as a taxi (video on my channel). My wife used it for 6 months, taking kids to school and shopping and only put petrol twice! Sadly it crashed(video on my channel) and insurance wrote it off. For me, plug-in and range extender are the best.
@@ciobanuvalentinmail excellent question mate. Hybrid alone is pointless, expensive to buy and really not better than diesel. Plug-in and range extender are much much better. My Citroën C4 1.6Hdi easily get 65 or more mpg, i mean in city, as a taxi. £20 annual tax.
Brilliant, we just received our 2023 Rav4 Hybrid after a 11 month wait .... absolutely crazy mileage to the tank, averaging 950 - 1000km , have only filled twice since owning, may it continue.
These are great cars, but don't skip any maintenance schedule and make sure to use the thin 0W16 or 5W20 motor oil. Also no towing or jump starting with this car. And watch out washing this car, because if the battery runs out of power inside a carwash that pushes your car, your electronic parking could kick in.
Hope they didn’t give you a dealer mark up they raised the price for me in 2022 during Covid, $10,000 dealer mark up had to give the car back, couldn’t trade, couldn’t sell, value dropped too fast, they said that it would hold its value that’s a lie, don’t believe anything the salesman says !!!!
Totally love with Toyota hybrid car, I have a rav4 hybrid 2020 crazy high fuel efficiency single tank able to achieve 900km. Powerful and low fuel efficiency the same time. Great job Toyota
I bought a 2013 Lexus ES300h in 2018, it has the 2.5L engine plus dual motor generators. I absolutely love it, and I was very apprehensive about the CVT but it is so so smooth. Now the battery is 10 years old and the car has 110k miles. I get precisely the same mileage I did when I bought it five years ago even though the batteries are now a decade old.
It's fascinating to see the planetary gear which connects the electric motor and the combustion engine to result a hybrid. Mechanical simplicity is efficiency, longevity, and durability. In my opinion this is art and an engineering feat at it's finest.
@@erdemozturk4585 I'm not a Toyota ASE or have engineering background but I'm just curious about how cars work, especially hybrids. Toyota Hybrids are designed to work in parallel. At any given moment, either the ICE or the electric motor can power the wheels independently or both at the same time. what they did is instead of a traditional torque converter and planetary gear transmission assembly on a gas only car, in place are a motor-generator combination that acts as a starter motor, alternator/generator and transmission. Here's the clever part: when starting the car, the smaller generator powers up the ICE until it warms up then shuts it off. When you put in "D", the second, more powerful traction motor then powers the wheels until more power is needed, then the ICE starts again to assist the electric motors. when cruising at city speeds, depending on Toyota models and environmental scenarios, the ICE is shut off and the motors can solely power the car until a certain range is reached and the battery capacity is down to 40%. When cruising at highway speeds, both the ICE and electric motors drive the wheels and the latter charges the battery (to maintain 40-60% capacity). When coasting in "D" the ICE is shut off once again and the generator charges the HV battery (regenerative deceleration) ; or it stays connected to the drivetrain when in "B" so regen is stronger (but at this point, no fuel is consumed) from rotational inertia of the ICE helps the car slow down sooner. Idling keeps the ICE off unless HVAC is being used or if the engine needs warming up again. Power steering, brake master cylinder, AC, and all other accessories are electrically powered so there is no drive belt unless if it's the MKI Prius. This also makes the ICE to run very efficiently even under load. What makes Toyota hybrids very reliable, not only they are well made is the elimination of many moving parts compared to a gas only car. The HV batteries last very long too as the computer system only allows it to have very short charge-discharge rate.

As a diehard car enthusiast , to me , if Porsche/Audi manages to develop the e-fuel and F1/LeMans Hypercars/Rally1 gives good result/data about the perfomance , Hybrid is the way to go. Sure , you can still release petrol/EV , but for the best of both world, Hybrid is the way honestly for me. Both good low end and high end performance with hybrid ....and a new generation of tuning.
Im sure its super smart and the most efficient sollution.. but i have drove one long enought to really dislike the lack of feeling that any of the motors are connected to the wheels and the engine doing whatever it wants to develop power instead of linear power delivery... even an electric with no gears at least the motor is directly connected to the wheels and you can feel the direct power feel.. in Toyota? not at all.. i push the pedal and stuff happens and the car goes faster but you dont feel anything going to the wheels as both motors are going throught a VCT
Hybrid is not always for fuel economy. Sometimes it’s for performance. One example is the BMW X6 active hybrid. It’s not really made to save gas but to make use of electric torque along with gas engine
@@CountChokculaHow does a hybrid make more sense than pure EV? I like ICE cars and driving manual but EVs have objectively better performance, and this will increase with better battery life chemistries over time.
This video has bettered my understanding of the hybrid system. I do question the reliability, maintenance, and affordability of such a sophisticated system.
They are ultra reliable, we have Camry hybrid 2012h with no problems, maintenance is actually cheaper and less than non hybrid models, on traffic lights and slow traffic. engine shuts off and motor drive the car up to 2km. We love it as saves tons of petrol and have low emissions
I have a 2013 Ford C-Max (known as the worst year for this vehicle). It uses the exact same hybrid drive system, except paired to a more powerful engine, I'm not the first owner, but I've had the car for a year added 10K to the dial; it had over 105K miles when I bought it. I've had ZERO issues with the car. Even the most unreliable year has been extremely reliable for me. Also, I should mention that maintenance is cheaper than your average car because there are fewer moving parts. No belts to wear out, and fewer fluids to change. Brakes can literally last over 100K before needing replacement if you coast whenever possible and use the regenerative braking system whenever possible. You could literally drive the car and the only time the brake pads will engage is when the car is at a standstill. If that isn't considered low maintenance, I don't know what is. As for affordably: I only paid $8500 for mine and it is *FULLY* loaded with keyless push-to-start, heated leather seats + leather-wrapped interior, a Tesla style panoramic sunroof, backup cam + parking sensors, auto park assist (literally parallel parks the car for you) and a *bangin'* Sony sound system with satellite radio, 11 speakers including 4 woofers, 4 tweeters, a center channel, and 2x 10" subwoofers pumping out 500w each (so over 1100-1200w going to the entire system). In candy blue metallic. For under $10K you can't do much better.
I feel an incredible amount of relief that engineers have thought up plans for cars like these which are energy efficient and reduces fuel release to reduce carbon emissions It's truly relieving to know that Australia's engineers are working has hard as they can to create sustainable vehicles. Thank you Engineers of Australia, you are thoroughly appreciated and thank you Toyota for being one of the first brands to create a vehicle that is safer for our planet
Agree - above my pay grade but that doesn't mean Toyota doesn't have it down to a science. They've had 20 years to continually tweak it and their hybrids are the standard by which others are judged.
I would really like to see the Toyota Crown Athlete hybrid in person. The concept of the 3.5 and the hybrid beeing combined to a torque converted transmission is interesting.
At 1:51 that's something that I like to hear 👂 😄 because I just got myself a Toyota corolla 2021 hybrid and they're known for their reliability! Endurance is an important factor that i also look into, which makes me very happy to hear about the hybrid system! My car 🚗 does over 55 MPG which is a huge gas ⛽ saving money difference for me!
You have to appreciate the engineering brilliance of this. My Lexus CT which uses the same drive train achieved over 70mpg despite the battery being 13 years old. Amazing.
I have a 2023 Corolla Hybrid XR - this system is mind blowing! Smooth, instantaneous and responsive, it switches power modes seamlessly for an incredible driving experience. I don't think I can go back to anything less than a Toyota hybrid.
Hi I live in Australia and just received my 2024 GXL RAV 4 Hybrid after a wait of nearly a year and a half. It is awesome. Fuel consumption started at 6.5 now is at 4.8 & I have only had the car a week :) and only used a 1/4 of a tank of petrol yay. Is very interesting to see how it all works

@@philipmanolas2270 thank you for the clarification, so it is a double input planetary gear set then. Double power/torque input from each motor towards one output.
it generates from one motor and power the other to get the desired gear ratio, in and out of the battery, in and out of the engine (engine power and engine braking going downhill if the battery is full).
@@maggiejetson7904 100% nice explained!! 👍👍👍. Apreciated your input 👌. I'm surprised that they make it look as "New Technology" and tried to impress a lot of people... and this is really old... from the late 40's, actually.
you will have decades of trouble free driving. I used a Corolla limousine and never had to go to the workshop bc something died, just normal things like brakes and tires. Now im bought the Hybrid as well and im sure, I will go the same way like with my old, but I will save much fuel ^^
We love our Toyota Hybrid Highlanders. Had a 2013 HH Limited AWD and traded it in with 150k miles (241401 KM) on a 2021 HH Plaitium AWD. Only problem on 2013 HH was a broken driver side power door lock motor. Drive the 2021 HH aggressively in Sport mode and still returns 30 MPG or 12.8KM/L. which is impressive for a heavy vehicle. I have 100k miles (160934KM) on it and only broken part was a driver side view mirror lower panel fell off. It was only a $10 part and snapped back together like Legos. Still on original brakes, 3rd set of tires, and 3rd front windshield from stone crack.
Changing the 12-volt battery solves the problem, or removing the power cable from the fuse box for 15 minutes. Removing the thick white power cable from the fuse box will do the trick. But if there's a noise at the front when you turn it on, it's a problem between the electric motor connection and the mechanical motor that has worn out!

It's would be great if Toyota turn the engine part into a compress air engine could be a game changer for truely pure clean hybrid EV as compress air cheaply available everywhere.
A hybrid makes more sense than an all electric car, at least at this stage. I don’t think that California is going to be able to go all electric. Not for a long while.
2030 is the target, right? I wonder how are they gonna push everyone into getting an EV. And what about the cars that are already existing? I guess they’re gonna put a cap on the number of years that you can drive them before scraping them off.
4 main companents of Hybrid 1. Hybrid Baterry - Provide power to motor drive 2. Power Control Unit -Divides the power to each unit(motor, generator and Hybrid battery. 3. Power Generator - Recharged the hybrid battery 4. Motor - Run the vehicle at low speed and combine with engine during high speed
Something that I learned yesterday, is that electric motors are dramatically less efficient when load is less than 50%. Ideally, 75% load is used, as it's most efficient. The more powerful the motor, the more efficient it is at low load, supposedly. I have no idea if this is true, but it's interesting to think about. It means that the hybrid system could be almost always used in tandem with the engine during accelerating, for maximum efficiency. Otherwise, it's actually slightly less efficient, because it takes some energy to make electricity, and to run the motor. A result is a decrease in overall fuel economy, unfortunately. The CVT transmission more than makes up for this, but it could be better, and/or even simpler.
An electrical motor having a load of 50% will still achieve a 75% efficiency compared to an internal combustion engine which has a measly 23% efficiency at the most..
@@boyetz88 that's definitely not true. 23% is low, definitely not it's maximum. It's at least 35%, but could easily be much higher than that. Even though electric motors have a high efficiency turning energy into force, power, etc. they are not quite as efficient as engines, because the power source is being oversupplied, mostly being wasted. At any given time, electricity is being generated, but not being used. This is because electricity cannot merely meet demand. Anything not being used is wasted, grounded, etc. It's not as good as advertised, the comparisons are not thorough enough.
@@grantmccoy6739 electricity is not directly applied to the motor, any generated electricity is saved on the battery, the motor draws power from the battery not the engine. So yeah motor is still way more efficient than engine.
@@shaheenshad5012 actually it is. There is a direct path between MG1 and MG2. It looks silly at the beginning but allows the ICE to run at max speed and torque efficiency. Storing energy to use it later is less efficient choice.
No, engines are much worse at low loads. Electric motors are near 90% efficient from 1% load onwards until they hit around 80% max RPM. Engines have a narrow range of RPM and load where they operate the best. The hybrid system allows the engine to run in its happy spot, and store excess energy in the battery for later use, such as when the engine is turned off.

ATM, I am driving a RAV4 hybrid, such an amazing car. If you need a get away car, buy a RAV4 hybrid. For a cross over car, the RAV4 handles more like sedan.
What I want to know is how does it crank the engine. I know the transmission along with motor does the job but I want a detailed explanation because I have one where I can hear the motor spinning but it’s not cranking the engine, and I’m puzzled how that’s possible
Great Tecnology, toyota always doing awesome cars, but what happens if the hybrid system for any reason fail? Can you continue driving whit the petrol engine?
If the hybrid system itself fails, you cannot drive. The hybrid system is the transmission. It would be like trying to drive with a failed transmission.
Great technology. Do you know if this is the same technology that Suzuki will use to its new strong hybrid engine during 2022 for European Vitara and s-cross models?
which strong hybrid engine do you have in mind? Suzuki is currently using mild-hybrids in their own cars but that systems works differently compared to Toyota hybrids.
@@palidzitube I am talking about the new strong hybrid (not the old mild hybrid) that combines four-cylinder and 1.5-liter naturally aspirated, which develops a maximum power of 102 hp, and an additional electric motor that adds an extra 33 hp. Together, the hybrid system offers performance with a total maximum power of 115 hp. It is available for Suzuki Vitara in Europe (Greece and Spain for sure)
@@chrisuoa it’s different system, you can google some articles and they mentioned some robotic transmission for example so clearly different hybrid system design
This is the way every car manufacturing company should go instead of producing fully electric cars that run on energy from coal power plants. Hybrid drive is the solution between conventional combustion engines and fully electric cars that will run on energy cell which are not being made from lithium. There are other materials to make batteries from, but either they are still under development or research.

You could literally drive the car and the only time the brake pads will engage is when the car is at a standstill. If that isn't considered low maintenance, I don't know what is.
As for affordably: I only paid $8500 for mine and it is *FULLY* loaded with keyless push-to-start, heated leather seats + leather-wrapped interior, a Tesla style panoramic sunroof, backup cam + parking sensors, auto park assist (literally parallel parks the car for you) and a *bangin'* Sony sound system with satellite radio, 11 speakers including 4 woofers, 4 tweeters, a center channel, and 2x 10" subwoofers pumping out 500w each (so over 1100-1200w going to the entire system). In candy blue metallic. For under $10K you can't do much better.
Actually this involves fewer parts and is more reliable than an automatic or manual transmission
It's Toyota bro
It's a Toyota lol no questioning needed. Also the Prius has been around for 25 years, so lots of time to perfect.
I have a Auris hybrid. It has halved my fuel and a great car in every way.
I feel an incredible amount of relief that engineers have thought up plans for cars like these which are energy efficient and reduces fuel release to reduce carbon emissions
It's truly relieving to know that Australia's engineers are working has hard as they can to create sustainable vehicles.
Thank you Engineers of Australia, you are thoroughly appreciated and thank you Toyota for being one of the first brands to create a vehicle that is safer for our planet
No doubt, I'm driving hybrid camry from last 10 years, never had any issue.
I have my rav4 2017 love the smooth ride and the changing of system on it, there is a saying about Toyota, old Toyota never die
Big ups to you Toyota, Great work. 👏🏽👏🏽
Me pretending like I understand what's going on 👌🏽
Agree - above my pay grade but that doesn't mean Toyota doesn't have it down to a science. They've had 20 years to continually tweak it and their hybrids are the standard by which others are judged.
I'm falling asleep 🤣
😆
Basically, the transmission is replaced by an electric motor
😂😂😂😂😂
I would really like to see the Toyota Crown Athlete hybrid in person. The concept of the 3.5 and the hybrid beeing combined to a torque converted transmission is interesting.
Nice explanation
Incredible Technology, so glad I just purchased the 2021 Venza huge gas savings.
Just got a 2018 Prius Prime and I absolutely Love it
Watching from Qatar
Awesome Engineering technology
I love my prius C!!!!!!! 51 mpg average over the years that I've had the car 😎
At 1:51 that's something that I like to hear 👂 😄 because I just got myself a Toyota corolla 2021 hybrid and they're known for their reliability! Endurance is an important factor that i also look into, which makes me very happy to hear about the hybrid system!
My car 🚗 does over 55 MPG which is a huge gas ⛽ saving money difference for me!
You have to appreciate the engineering brilliance of this. My Lexus CT which uses the same drive train achieved over 70mpg despite the battery being 13 years old. Amazing.
I have a 2023 Corolla Hybrid XR - this system is mind blowing! Smooth, instantaneous and responsive, it switches power modes seamlessly for an incredible driving experience. I don't think I can go back to anything less than a Toyota hybrid.
An excellent video and explanation. Helps me understand how my recently purchased RAV4 works. Thank you.
I know a guy with a 2008 Prius. Still working fine with the original battery.
Hi I live in Australia and just received my 2024 GXL RAV 4 Hybrid after a wait of nearly a year and a half. It is awesome. Fuel consumption started at 6.5 now is at 4.8 & I have only had the car a week :) and only used a 1/4 of a tank of petrol yay. Is very interesting to see how it all works
Toyota HYBRID SYSTEM is most superior compared to rest of other car manufacturers. PRECISION & ACCURACY OF JAPANESE ENGINEERING HAS TOPPED rest of the world.

toyota kuwait, the production costs incurred due to creating this video was worth it, this is the best Toyota HSD video I have ever seen
owner of toyota rav4 2017 self charging hybrid with 2.5ltr petrol engine! very smooth and reliable engine! and economical!
Just got a Mazda 2 hybrid with Toyota hybrid system. Will get 70 US MPG or more most of the days. Great system!
to be honest from my views.....this is more fantasizing to me than a Tesla cause I had the fought a few days ago to use both electric and fuel engine and to my surprise it already existed ..this is very verryyyy brilliant to the creator.....
My 2021 Sienna achieves 50 mpg in warm weather city driving. The acceleration is seamless. Incredible engineering.
2010 Gen 3 with 150000km on it, original hybrid battery, and original brake pads as well. Averages 3.9 - 4.4L/100km. Love it!
Informative video, as the Toyota website really doesn't go into a lot of detail regarding the hybrid system.
I'm actually driving one rn I rented it for the weekend and omg the mpg is amazing!!! .makes me Wana buy one with them ridiculous gas prices rn
Thanks for such a informative vedio for viewers 👏👍
My dad has a 1.8 hybrid corolla cross your knowledge help me so much
The "Power Split Device" it's a dual input planetary drive, right?
Not exactly, its the double energy flow between the planetary and/or the dual motors.
@@philipmanolas2270 thank you for the clarification, so it is a double input planetary gear set then. Double power/torque input from each motor towards one output.
it generates from one motor and power the other to get the desired gear ratio, in and out of the battery, in and out of the engine (engine power and engine braking going downhill if the battery is full).
@@maggiejetson7904 100% nice explained!! 👍👍👍. Apreciated your input 👌.
I'm surprised that they make it look as "New Technology" and tried to impress a lot of people... and this is really old... from the late 40's, actually.
wife bought the Yaris Cross, and the hybris system is amazing
Great animation. Could you tell which software did you use to make this animation? Thank you
Cinema 4D, 3DS Max, Maya, Blender.. Definitely one of those
I'm finally getting closer to understanding how it actually works, thank you very much.
Amazing vedio we all are watching in our class🎉
Just took delivery of my first hybrid. 21 Sienna. Toyota has been doing hybrid for a long time. I expect years of trouble free driving.
you will have decades of trouble free driving. I used a Corolla limousine and never had to go to the workshop bc something died, just normal things like brakes and tires. Now im bought the Hybrid as well and im sure, I will go the same way like with my old, but I will save much fuel ^^
We love our Toyota Hybrid Highlanders. Had a 2013 HH Limited AWD and traded it in with 150k miles (241401 KM) on a 2021 HH Plaitium AWD. Only problem on 2013 HH was a broken driver side power door lock motor. Drive the 2021 HH aggressively in Sport mode and still returns 30 MPG or 12.8KM/L. which is impressive for a heavy vehicle. I have 100k miles (160934KM) on it and only broken part was a driver side view mirror lower panel fell off. It was only a $10 part and snapped back together like Legos. Still on original brakes, 3rd set of tires, and 3rd front windshield from stone crack.
Genius, absolutely Genius. No wonder Toyota is the biggest carmaker in the world.
Best hybrid hidden gem is the Avalon limited hybrid. Luxury...
I don't mind driving one if someone gift me one.
Changing the 12-volt battery solves the problem, or removing the power cable from the fuse box for 15 minutes. Removing the thick white power cable from the fuse box will do the trick. But if there's a noise at the front when you turn it on, it's a problem between the electric motor connection and the mechanical motor that has worn out!
Very informative, why the electric motor isn't used as generator and starter and there is a separate generator?
toyota's are the kings of hybrids and reliability. love my 2024 corolla hybrid, it's so smooth and powerful whilst averaging 50 MPG
Just bought a Hybrid Yaris. Getting a nice 70mpg average on motorways.
Please update this with info on regenerative braking added.
see 03:09
This is a beautiful technology
Interesting how the 6 high voltage cables from the inverter (PCU) to MG1 and MG2 are unshielded... hmm.
Gracias por las actualizaciones constantes. Prefiero operar en el mercado de valores porque es más rentable. Gano un promedio de $34,500 cada 2 semanas, aunque yo mismo apenas opero.
Gracias a la señora Teresa
Ella es una corredora de bolsa con licencia aquí en los Estados Unidos.
¡¡¡SI!!! Ese es exactamente su nombre (Teresa Aguilar, más conocida como la Sra. Teresa). Muchas personas la han recomendado mucho y recién estoy comenzando a trabajar con ella 😊 de Brisbane, Australia🇦🇺
Me sorprende que se mencione este nombre aquí, me topé con el testimonio de uno de sus clientes en las noticias de CNBC la semana pasada.
Después de reunir hasta 325k haciendo transacciones con ella, compré una casa nueva y un auto aquí en los Estados Unidos. También pagué la cirugía de mi hijo (Oscar). Gloria a Dios.
beautifully explained
Any ideas on what software this animation was done?
My Auris hybrid is now 14 years old and a bulletproof car. Even the hybrid battery is still in great cheap!
Mashallah good work at hard and costly speeds supr car
Toyota is my Love ❤️ specially Hybrid System 👍🏻
so there isn't a belt like in most cvt transmissions ?
No belt needed in synergy drive. Just a single orbital gear that accepts power from engine/electric motor. Better reliability 💪
@@keptkozy More reliability, and efficiency, this design is amazing
According the following (outstanding) simulation/explainer video , newer versions do contain a chain belt....check th-cam.com/video/E_xCssR8qQI/w-d-xo.html
@@juancarlosabad3298 The e-CVT in Toyota hybrids do not have any chain or belt. It is electronically controlled planetary gear.
The video you shared is either wrong, outdated or you didn’t understand it right. I didn’t watch it since it’s long.
@@midoriyaizuku4403 you better watch the video before giving such authoritative answer.....the author did explain that the original design did not have any belt or change but when they turned the machine 90 degrees in a new version it was necessary to introduce it....in any case i cannot guarantee that that corresponds to the last version of the e-CVT system design....
It's would be great if Toyota turn the engine part into a compress air engine could be a game changer for truely pure clean hybrid EV as compress air cheaply available everywhere.
Super explain good 💯 video
I just bought a brand new Toyota RAV4 and it's a great car!
This is absolutely phenomenon!
I always loved Toyotas specifically those built in Japan: Not sure the the other Toyotas manufactured outside: One love ❤from Jose @ONPASSIVE
A hybrid makes more sense than an all electric car, at least at this stage. I don’t think that California is going to be able to go all electric. Not for a long while.
2030 is the target, right? I wonder how are they gonna push everyone into getting an EV. And what about the cars that are already existing? I guess they’re gonna put a cap on the number of years that you can drive them before scraping them off.
I own a Toyota Aqua 2nd generation. Its so great. No worries. Thanks
4 main companents of Hybrid
1. Hybrid Baterry - Provide power to motor drive
2. Power Control Unit -Divides the power to each unit(motor, generator and Hybrid battery.
3. Power Generator - Recharged the hybrid battery
4. Motor - Run the vehicle at low speed and combine with engine during high speed
This is amazing promotion for Toyota which never happened in Canada and USA
Something that I learned yesterday, is that electric motors are dramatically less efficient when load is less than 50%. Ideally, 75% load is used, as it's most efficient. The more powerful the motor, the more efficient it is at low load, supposedly. I have no idea if this is true, but it's interesting to think about. It means that the hybrid system could be almost always used in tandem with the engine during accelerating, for maximum efficiency. Otherwise, it's actually slightly less efficient, because it takes some energy to make electricity, and to run the motor. A result is a decrease in overall fuel economy, unfortunately. The CVT transmission more than makes up for this, but it could be better, and/or even simpler.
An electrical motor having a load of 50% will still achieve a 75% efficiency compared to an internal combustion engine which has a measly 23% efficiency at the most..
@@boyetz88 that's definitely not true. 23% is low, definitely not it's maximum. It's at least 35%, but could easily be much higher than that.
Even though electric motors have a high efficiency turning energy into force, power, etc. they are not quite as efficient as engines, because the power source is being oversupplied, mostly being wasted. At any given time, electricity is being generated, but not being used. This is because electricity cannot merely meet demand. Anything not being used is wasted, grounded, etc.
It's not as good as advertised, the comparisons are not thorough enough.
@@grantmccoy6739 electricity is not directly applied to the motor, any generated electricity is saved on the battery, the motor draws power from the battery not the engine. So yeah motor is still way more efficient than engine.
@@shaheenshad5012 actually it is. There is a direct path between MG1 and MG2. It looks silly at the beginning but allows the ICE to run at max speed and torque efficiency. Storing energy to use it later is less efficient choice.
No, engines are much worse at low loads. Electric motors are near 90% efficient from 1% load onwards until they hit around 80% max RPM. Engines have a narrow range of RPM and load where they operate the best. The hybrid system allows the engine to run in its happy spot, and store excess energy in the battery for later use, such as when the engine is turned off.
Have just purchased a Toyota 2022 rav4 hybrid all wheel drive car, it pulls like a train, 50-55 mpg and is as quiet as a mouse just so refined 👍👴🏻
Sangat susah bagi anak otomotif kalau mempelajari mobil hyabrid mobil yang baru cara belajar agak kurang paham bagaimana cara belajar atau praktek tolong kasih tutorial nya thanks
Does the generator-motor generate electricity while breaking as well or does the generator-motor only spin when the ICE is spinning as well?
estuve trabajando en Japón el año 1996 aproximadamente ya Toyota lo había inventado primero y el auto duraba 7 años sin malograrse estaba Fabricado sus piezas en alta calidad bueno yo estaba en la Hino motors de japan
I love Toyota so much since the 2005 camry came out
Thanka you for the knowledgeable video
I have little doubt. What is the current generation by the MG1 motor and what is the current made by the MD2 while brakeing
Plz answer this question if anyone know about this
Can other existing cars we already own be set up like this? Like without having to take the engine apart.. can add that charging battery system?
ATM, I am driving a RAV4 hybrid, such an amazing car. If you need a get away car, buy a RAV4 hybrid. For a cross over car, the RAV4 handles more like sedan.
It’s a very nice and elegant system. A true jewel of mechanics. But is it worth it?
I love Toyotas ❤️
What is the approximate avg and how much %age fuel saving is achieved through this model in comparison to a same category petrol engine?
What I want to know is how does it crank the engine. I know the transmission along with motor does the job but I want a detailed explanation because I have one where I can hear the motor spinning but it’s not cranking the engine, and I’m puzzled how that’s possible
Great Tecnology, toyota always doing awesome cars, but what happens if the hybrid system for any reason fail? Can you continue driving whit the petrol engine?
Yes you can carry on driving.
If the hybrid system itself fails, you cannot drive. The hybrid system is the transmission. It would be like trying to drive with a failed transmission.
Are you sure the battery don’t have to change because am thinking about a hybrid crown 2014 what yaa think is it a good choice?
This is best example and also Laferrari works this way as well
Driving Lexus es 300 and love it thank you toyota
Great technology. Do you know if this is the same technology that Suzuki will use to its new strong hybrid engine during 2022 for European Vitara and s-cross models?
which strong hybrid engine do you have in mind? Suzuki is currently using mild-hybrids in their own cars but that systems works differently compared to Toyota hybrids.
@@palidzitube I am talking about the new strong hybrid (not the old mild hybrid) that combines four-cylinder and 1.5-liter naturally aspirated, which develops a maximum power of 102 hp, and an additional electric motor that adds an extra 33 hp. Together, the hybrid system offers performance with a total maximum power of 115 hp. It is available for Suzuki Vitara in Europe (Greece and Spain for sure)
@@chrisuoa it’s different system, you can google some articles and they mentioned some robotic transmission for example so clearly different hybrid system design
this is a 3 years old video! Is it?!

My dream driving TOYOTA car 😊
This is the way every car manufacturing company should go instead of producing fully electric cars that run on energy from coal power plants.
Hybrid drive is the solution between conventional combustion engines and fully electric cars that will run on energy cell which are not being made from lithium.
There are other materials to make batteries from, but either they are still under development or research.
Great improve more so can not be used petrol in future can run on only electric 😀 👍 😊🌹
Is this same/similar (drivetrain) system as fitted too Lexus UX250h ?
very informative thank you.
Fuel tank is not shown.Is the fuel type optional.?
Option like cng/lpg/diesel.
Yes, I use standard e10 ethanol and the manual says that you can use up to e15. I have not discovered any MPG difference between standard unleaded and e10 ethanol.
NiCE SAMPLE & EXAMPLE ☝️. ❤❤❤
