Toyota AQUA


Not due to officially be unveiled until the Tokyo Motor Show in December, the smallest of Toyota’s hybrids is only 157.3 inches long, 66.7 inches wide and 56.9 inches tall, with a wheelbase of just 100.4 inches.
Power comes courtesy of a 1.4-liter gasoline engine delivering 74 horsepower at 4,800 rpm, and an electric motor capable of producing 45 kilowatts.
Toyota’s brochure says that the C-segment hybrid achieves a fuel economy of 35.4 km/L on the JC08 test cycle, but the Japanese tests are notoriously more optimistic than the EPA’s fuel-cycle tests. Since the 2012 TOYOTA Aqua Hybrid is given a rating by Toyota that is 16 percent more than the official Japanese fuel-economy ratings for the 2012 TOYOTA PRIUS Hybrid, we’d expect an EPA rating of between 58 and 64 mpg.
