Toyota Aqua Hybrid India
Recently, Toyota’s upcoming hybrid hatchback, the Toyota Aqua Hybrid, was spotted testing on Indian roads. Its impressive mileage figures revealed during the test caught everyone’s attention.
Toyota Aqua Hybrid Mileage
The trend towards fuel-efficient vehicles is on the rise, and Toyota seems set to lead the way. The Toyota Aqua Hybrid, which has been spotted on road tests in India, is likely to redefine expectations when it comes to fuel economy.
The model is already very popular in Japan and some international markets under the name Prius C, and now it seems that the company is preparing it for the Indian market.
The Toyota Aqua Hybrid is based on Toyota’s TNGA-B platform, the same architecture used for cars like the Yaris and Sienta. It is a compact hatchback designed to offer city-friendly dimensions without compromising on performance.
The car was first launched in Japan in 2021, and now its arrival in India seems imminent, especially after being spotted on test drives several times. Under the hood, the Toyota Aqua Hybrid is expected to feature a 1.5-litre petrol hybrid engine mated to two electric motors.
Toyota Aqua Hybrid Engine, Power and Mileage
The front electric motor produces 80 bhp and 141 Nm of torque, while the rear motor available in the E-Four variant produces 64 bhp and 52 Nm of torque. Combined, the system delivers a total power output of 116 bhp. This ensures both efficiency and performance.
Truly standout mileage – According to Toyota’s official global website, the Aqua Hybrid can deliver up to 35.8 km per litre. This is a figure that can shake the sales of competitors like the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Hybrid and other similar models.
World’s first bipolar nickel-hydrogen battery
Adding to its uniqueness, the Aqua Hybrid is the world’s first production car to feature a bipolar nickel-hydrogen battery. This advanced battery can not only power the car but can also be used to power home electronics with the help of a 100V/1500W power outlet.
This makes it a versatile option for buyers looking for technology-based mobility solutions. As of now, Toyota has not officially announced a launch date or detailed specifications for the Indian market. However, the fact that the vehicle has been tested on Indian roads clearly indicates that the company is gearing up to introduce this high-mileage hybrid car to Indian customers very soon.
