AutoExec Summary

Toyota Australia plans to introduce plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) to its lineup before 2030, aiming for full electrification. The high cost of producing PHEVs is currently a barrier, but as prices drop, they believe Australian consumers will find them more appealing. Toyota globally offers PHEV versions of models like the C-HR, RAV4, and Prius, with a focus on affordability and practicality. They anticipate PHEVs with longer electric driving ranges to suit Australian customers better. The next Toyota RAV4 may include a PHEV powertrain, likely to be popular in the Australian market.

Brands mentioned: Toyota, Mitsubishi, Lexus
