Toyota is highlighting those off-road capabilities with the new 2017 TRD Off-Road model. It basically
Toyota had one main goal in mind when it engineered the Prius Prime, the upcoming second-generation Prius Plug-In. The new car had to be more electric.

Ahead of the Beijing Auto Show this week, Toyota announced that it will create an electric plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the Corolla for the Chinese market. While the automaker’s announcement appears to limit the vehicle’s availability to China for now, it does open the door for a possible global launch of a PHEV version of
As the world’s first mass-produced petrol-electric hybrid, the Prius’s place in history has always been assured.
