I find my Toyota Auris 2014 Hybrid to have a reassuringly stable chassis on motorways.

Normal driving or like grandpa

My record is 66.6 mpg , city driving

City driving: 2.3L/100Km Highway aprox. 100/130Km/h 4.9-6L/100Km For a petrol Hybrid car this is actually pretty good 😁 P.S driving a Toyota Auris/Corolla 1.8 Hybrid Black Edition MY2017

Are you blind its went 200 klms not 185

@@celinrharty5300 you don't know the difference in gps speedometer and car speedometer, dont you?

@@karlmogenslarsen I don't think he or she knows

+xavier lacorne Thank you. Hybrid performs very well with great fuel economy especially in urban areas and traffic jams. Even speed up to around 120 km/h seems OK, while higher speed comes with increased sound levels and higher consumption of course.

Why not overtaking? This is a common action for a car on the autobahn (since our's are free of charge unlike yours and therefore regularly well filled). It is worth to know in which way the hybrid works here.

Actually IMHO hybrid is ideal for lots of accelerating/slowing down. While with a normal car the kinetic energy is wasted when braking, a hybrid will store that energy so you can use it next time you want to accelerate.

kada jawi most of it*

Also hybrids have less drag than normal cars so that's anither benefit

+Jenicek25 Acceleration with HSD is continuous, because there's no gear to shift. On the other hand, as you already mentioned, it's more noisy as it sounds like way higher RPM when accelerating. Once the target speed has reached, it calms down unless you're going at higher speeds. I strongly recommend doing a test drive on your own, since Hybrid and CVT needs getting used to.

Sorry, I don’t have a comparison between both noise levels. I’ve been driving an Auris for some time and had the chance to drive a Prius for a short amount of time as well. Noise level depends upon multiple parameters (for example speed, tires, road conditions). My experience was that the cars are quite silent while driving on electric motor in the city and became noisy when accelerating fast. Once target speed was reached noise came down a bit in most cases. Usually I didn’t drove as shown in the video. I assume that people driving Auris HSD or Prius are trying to save fuel and drive ecologically friendly. Anticipating traffic will help and not going to higher speed (and noise levels) will do so, too. Ideally you’ll try both and decide which one you like better. The dashboard is quite different and not everyone likes the Prius' design.

@@Timo-M Thank you.Prius design is unusual, i'd say futuristic .Auris and Prius , both models are criticized due to poor sound isolation, comparing with VAG groups cars with the same price tags. Only Lexus CT200hybrid onthe same platform and engine has a bit higher quality of material and isolation. IMHO :)

That car has an EV mode, yet combustible engine kicks in even at city speeds. If you want to ride pure EV mode, better look at plug-in hybrids with larger battery.

Wtf are you doing here

2016 model has better interior, insulation, and tail light

+milli pekmez Exactly. It's great in the city and makes it a pleasure to handle a traffic jam, too.

At 1:50 you can see the car is preety calm when cruising, 140 is more than preety much every country speed limit (except germany's autobahn)

So I have to buy a new car to go cross-country?

I own one myself, a Toyota Auris Hybrid with 140HP. My hybrid battery is always full when on the AutoBahn and I cruise around at around 170-180km/h with the gauge still hovering at the top-end of ECO. At such speeds, there is NO engine noise...but there is a lot of wind noise! I have driven 200km/h in my Auris too but it is always too busy on the road, so I slow down to around 170-180km/h.

The interesting scene namely is 5:30 where the battery stops delivering enery (according to the display) but the speed increases though! Since the electric engine cannot help to accellerate, the mechanical must have done this. Or was it a downhill part of the road?

Actually, a second camera showing the road would have been nice. At 5:41 I mentioned that "it's going downhill and the top speed has been reached". My speculation is that battery power is used to "boost" acceleration as long as possible and after draining the battery it'll use the ICE to keep the car at the desired speed. As far as I know, the ICE is a 1.8 L engine with 99 HP. By the way, you'll might want try the "Yaris Hybrid Simulator".

the dashboard graphics don't always tally up with the centre console touchscreen graphics either, i'm less inclined to trust the dash graphics( like when the EV light comes on but the arrows do not show power going to or from battery...)... if you are using the car in sport mode, its best to put it in regen brake mode aswell.....

+Johan Jonsson As I was going that fast for a few minutes only, I don't have valid numbers measured by refueling. Eventually fuel economy even while going full speed was good and as far as I remember the energy monitor showed that some electrical energy was drawn from the generator and assumingly used for the electric engine at the same time. Maybe I'll check for some numbers and add the info.

+Johan Jonsson So I checked that recently. Consumption accoding to the car's info display was around 12 L/100 km while the battery has enough charge to power the electric engine to support the combustion engine accelerate as fast as possible. Haven't done long full speed rides, therefore no valid averaged data. "Your mileages may vary."

As far as I know the car makes a choice depending on parameters like battery charge, requested acceleration, required power to accelerate, RPM of the generators...

@@Timo-M yes with CNG ones it heat up the car dose run on CNG alone after so it will be doing the same but with CNG so it should work

Tank should store 45 liters, depending on the driving style and conditions you can go more that 1000 km with one full tank - but „your mileage may vary“. Going full speed will dramatically increase fuel consumption, yet I’d consider this a general rule.

About 800-900km

As far as I know, there are some modified cars. Search the internet for Toyota Hybrid CNG.

@@Timo-M I did not seeing it at all

Don't do stupid thing with Toyota hybrid. It will works fine 1 million km if you maintain it

@@rondhole CNG in my country dose go very far . Liquid gas is to expensive...so I want to combine the two .just want to know if it will work

@@kernj6454 it should work if you contact local Toyota dealership. Check for all safety and the fueling program. I have never seen any Toyota 1.8L with CNG in USA, Europe, or Asia yet. It definitely needs ECU reprogramming.

+V.C. Normal mode. It didn't seem to make a difference to me, when going full throttle.

ok,, just bought one the last days. is it ok for the acceleration to only occur sensibly when you're at max power? tried all 3 modes but the car was only moving forward when the engine was screaming. what is the average fuel consumption of the car on the BAB at around 140 kmh? thanks in advance :D

I do about 5.6L/100km on Eco Mode, with the cruise control at ~135 kph on a slightly hilly motorway (A10 Bordeaux / Niort in France). Oh I just realized you buy the car very recently. I hope you like it ! The engine is actually not that noisy, what is confusing is that it's not noisy in the same way and at the same time as a conventionnal car. You'll get used to it don't worry :) - EV is not really a mode because you can have both EV+Eco or EV+Pwr activated. I use it only when I just have to move the car a few yards or in indoor car parks. Don't try to use it to save gas! It won't works. - I use Eco Mode most of the time. It makes the gas pedal less responsive (I find it good in city) and moderate the use of AC. - I never really used Power Mode. Tried it a couple of time and I didn't find it useful. Maybe for driving on the mountain? On some occasions the engine is on when idling (if it's cold or if the battery is really low). You may find the fuel economy quite bad on these moments ; I was worried about that the first times but it's perfectly normal. It's because you don't move but the car use still use engine power to charge the battery (even if you don't see any arrow from the engine to the battery!). - Sorry for bad english ^^ -

When I press the pwr button my car gets MUCH more power. It's actually a bit ridiculous. I get 3.6 l/100km if I drive very gently, not pissing too many people off. I get the car warm then switch off heating to stay in electric mode as much as possible. Only switching it on when climbing hills as the engine is working anyway. Don't use cruise control if you want to save fuel. And it doesn't work if you are in B anyway.

@@bobziho merci for all this infos ur english is good actualy take care

Wenn man schnelle Wechsel zwischen Beschleunigen und Abbremsen vermeidet (und dann auch sparsamer fährt) treten solche schnellen Schwankungen seltener auf.

Absolutely. The combustible engine is quite noisy in my opinion, too. But it seems to run at a comparably good efficiency. Most people won’t drive full throttle on a daily basis, I guess. Yet I have to admit that driving a quieter car is much more relaxing.

While going at higher speeds was more on the noisy side in my opinion, I was able to drive through the city at quite low noise levels. Actually there was a pedestrian complaining about how quiet the car was, once. My recommendation is to try on your own. Of you’re interested into getting such a car, ask the dealership for a test drive. If your unfamiliar with hybrid cars, you’ll might want to ask for a salesperson to go with you on the test drive in order to give further information.

I didn’t want to cause concern, as I was driving with foresight on German Autobahn. Keeping a safe distance to other cars and watching for them possibly changing the lane is important.

It's save - on German Autobahns at least. This depends on the actual car and weather conditions, of course. I wouldn't want to drive that fast in a Seat Ibiza, or some other sub-compact car with small tires and bad suspension - if they ever reach that top speed, that is. In Germany, it works. Imho, it's because people tend to drive more disciplined in general. They usually never overtake other cars on the right, but on the left, for example.

Richard Johnson doesn't cost over 100.000 and it is in an actual production line unlike the car you mentioned.

Sorry that it wasn’t acceptable for you. You’re free to mute or skip. Let me assure you that I worked on my English language skills since the recording of that video and if I’ll do a video in English again, an improvement should be noticeable.

@@Timo-M im sorry

@@Timo-M Your english is good. There will alwaya be these kind of people:)
