A hybrid sedan like the 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid is a perfect car for drivers who want to protect the environment. This commuter sedan has tons of great eco-friendly features, such as competitive mileage and effortless cruise control.
Four Eco-Friendly Features of the 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid
1. Hybrid Powertrain
The base Hybrid LE model has a hybrid powertrain consisting of a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 138 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque. This lightweight hybrid powertrain is paired with an AWD drivetrain for ideal performance on slick streets and muddy roads. With this hybrid powertrain, the Hybrid LE has an estimated mileage of 51 MPG in urban areas, 44 MPG on the interstate, and 48 MPG combined.
This trim has an ultra-low emission rating. One reason why this hybrid powertrain has such efficient performance is the dual drive modes. When you want to optimize the fuel economy of the Hybrid LE in city traffic, you can switch from the Normal driving mode to the Eco driving mode.
2. LED Headlights
You might not think about it, but the headlights on your vehicle can also contribute to its overall eco-friendliness. The Hybrid LE comes with LED headlights with built-in daytime running lights and LED taillights. LED headlights are considered eco-friendly because these bulbs do not contain any toxic chemicals, which makes them safer to dispose of, use significantly less energy, and reduce overall waste since you don’t need to replace them constantly.
3. Cruise Control
Another way you can increase the eco-friendly performance of your vehicle is to use cruise control when you’re on the road. Classic cruise control works best in highway driving environments since long-range driving allows the cruise control feature to regulate your engine’s fuel consumption for longer periods.
However, the Hybrid LE comes with Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, which is an advanced cruise control software that can adapt the speed of your vehicle to match the speed of surrounding traffic. This adaptive cruise control feature even works in slow-traffic areas, such as when you are driving in the city, to help reduce fuel consumption by cutting out aggressive acceleration that burns through gas more quickly.
4. Service Connect
The Hybrid LE comes with a 10-year trial subscription to Service Connect features. A great way to ensure your hybrid maintains its eco-friendly performance is to keep up with routine maintenance, such as checking tire air pressure, rotating tires, and changing the motor oil in the engine. Service Connect comes with personalized maintenance reminders so you can stay on top of routine maintenance.
