Explore the Toyota Plug-In Hybrid Lineup

Ready to reduce fuel stops without giving up driving freedom? Welcome to the world of Toyota Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs). At Mike Shaw Toyota in Corpus Christi, we’re here to help you explore a lineup that blends the best of both worlds: gas-powered confidence and electric efficiency. If you’ve been thinking about making the switch to something cleaner, smarter, and more fun to drive, you’ll love what Toyota’s plug-in hybrid lineup has to offer.

Let’s break it all down – what plug-in hybrids are, which models are available, and why they’re such a great fit for life in South Texas.

What’s a Plug-In Hybrid?

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) runs on both electricity and gasoline. Unlike a traditional hybrid that charges itself while you drive, a PHEV can be plugged in to charge a larger battery. That extra battery power gives you an extended all-electric driving range, ideal for short trips around town or commuting to and from work.

Once the electric range runs out, the gas engine takes over seamlessly – no range anxiety, no interruption, just smooth, fuel-efficient driving.
