Without a doubt, Fuel efficient Toyota hybrids have been some of the best selling Toyota cars near Doylestown. The flagship Prius, along with all of the rest of the hybrid cars in the Toyota lineup, have helped Toyota earn a reputation of being fuel efficient and concerned with the world around them.

Beginning in 2010, Toyota will see a new hybrid vehicle on the market that will compete in an increasingly popular class. Toyota announced recently that it will release a plug-in hybrid.

The plug-in Toyota hybrid will rely on lithium-ion battery technology. This allows the vehicle to travel short distances on just the battery power, which can then be charged from a common household outlet.

This announcement comes months after Chevrolet announced plans to release the Chevrolet Volt, its plug-in hybrid, in 2010. Toyota's new plug in hybrid will be larger than the Prius.

Toyota also announced other environmentally-friendly advances, such as a hybrid car for the luxury Lexus division, as well as diesel engines for the Tundra pickup and Sequoia SUV.
