The engine

2.5L Hybrid I4

Toyota's 2.5-liter hybrid pairs an Atkinson-cycle four with electric motors for seamless, frugal, utterly dependable progress — the powertrain that made hybrids mainstream.

The fourth-generation evolution of the Toyota Hybrid System that debuted in the 1997 Prius, now refined over millions of cars into the benchmark for real-world reliability.

Toyota has sold over 20 million hybrids, refining this system since 1997.
The engine runs the efficient Atkinson cycle, with electric motors covering the low-end torque it sacrifices.
