Toyota South Africa confirmed it will start selling the
smallest hybrid in the company during
the year sometime. The Yaris HSD (Hybrid
Synergy Drive) uses similar components
to the Prius in order to go forward.
That consists of a 1.5-litre
petrol engine, and an electric motor.
The electric motor, transaxle, inverter and battery pack are however, lighter
than those of the Auris Hybrid. Maximum
power is 74kW, while Toyota says
buyers will frequently be driving zero NOx
and C02-emitting cars when the car goes into electric-only mode. Of course it
comes fitted with an automatic
gearbox.
The Yaris Hybrid will be South Africa’s second hybrid car in this segment, following the Honda Jazz hybrid.

Yaris should offer diesel more than hybrids because we use diesel here Hybrids are popular only in USA
