Study reviews break-even point for hybrid vehicles


Buying a hybrid is a responsible environmental move but, given their premium over standard cars, they aren’t always a money-saving purchase. A study by CarGurus showed that gas would have to top $7 a gallon to make most hybrids the economical choice.

Hybrids command, on average, a 17-percent markup over their standard-powertrain counterparts, which stunts their economy at the pump. The $7-a-gallon break even point is an average. For some cars, the break-even is point is even higher. For a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid to make you money, gas will need to climb to $15 a gallon.

On the lower side of the scale are the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Ford Escape Hybrid. The Toyota’s break-even point came out to $4 a gallon, while the Ford bucked the trend, breaking even at $2.50 a gallon.

Veja como ficou o facelift do Corolla

Porcentagem de mudança nesse facelift: 1.4%

Lembra o grande Camry, não?

O faról foi redesenhado

As lanternas traseiras ganharam um toque translúcido

O painel tem mais equipamentos mas ficou mais feio.
Se você é homem e comprometido, provavelmente já enfrentou a ira de sua mulher por não ter reparado no cabelo novo dela. O episódio é corriqueiro nos relacionamentos, e de certa forma ilustra, é igualzinho ao da Toyota no Corolla 2012.

À primeira vista, é mais difícil perceber onde estão as novidades do que tirar doce da boca de um neném. É preciso um olhar (muito) mais atento para perceber as mudanças realizadas pela Toyota. Além da nova grade frontal - bem parecida com a do Camry - e do para-choque redesenhado, o sedã médio ganhou lanternas renovadas, que exibem mostradores circulares envolvidos em uma seção translúcida.

As novidades mais significativas estão longe dos olhos. A transmissão manual de seis marchas é o presente para as versões mais baratas, enquanto que a motorização 1.8 16V ganhou a tecnologia toyotista Dual VVT-i, que nada mais é do que o sistema de duplo comando de abertura variável das válvulas, nas fases de admissão e escape.

A gama de versões oferecidas pela Toyota é a mesma. A versão topo-de-linha ainda é a XLi, que vem equipada com ar-condicionado, direção com assistência elétrica, travamento automático das portas a 20 km/h, vidros dianteiros elétricos, computador de bordo, retrovisores com regulagem elétrica, rodas de aço com calotas e airbag duplo.

A versão GLi adiciona vidros elétricos nas portas traseiras, computador de bordo com seis funções, freios ABS, chave com comandos para fechamento dos vidros e abertura do porta-malas e painel com iluminação diferenciada (chamada pela Toyota de OPTITRON).

O Corolla XEi, que é oferecido somente com o motor 2.0 Flex e transmissão automática, agrega airbags laterais, sensor crepuscular (que acende os faróis automaticamente em ambientes com pouca luz), sistema de som com entrada auxiliar, Bluetooth, piloto automático, luzes de seta nos espelhos retrovisores e bancos revestidos em couro.

A opção mais requintada é a Altis, recheada com banco do motorista com ajuste elétrico, revestimento diferenciado com alguns apliques de madeira e tons escurecidos, sensor de chuva, câmera de ré com imagem reproduzida no retrovisor interno e faróis de xenon. A linha Corolla 2012 começará a ser vendida a partir do dia 29 de março.

Veja os preços das versões do Corolla 2012. A pintura metálica adiciona mais R$ 930 ao valor final:
Corolla XLi 1.8 16V (manual): R$ 63.600
Corolla XLi 1.8 16V (automático): R$ 67.600
Corolla GLi 1.8 16V (manual): R$ 67.100
Corolla GLi 1.8 16V (automático): R$ 70.600
Corolla XEi 2.0 16V (automático): R$ 76.800
Corolla Altis 2.0 16V (automático): R$ 86.600

Toyota Matrix

Toyota unveiled the second-generation Matrix at the 2007 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show last week. Based on the Corolla sedan, the sporty five-door 'crossover' has been totally redesigned for the 2009 model year.

Development of the new Matrix focused on svelte exterior styling with enhanced interior utility and improved performance. It was made wider with a lower stance than the current model to express a low center of gravity and what Toyota claims to be a 'coupe-like style'. The mid-level S (pictured) and top-range XRS models integrate a front underbody spoiler with a large mesh fog lamp bezel and rear underbody spoiler, while a rear deck spoiler is standard on the XRS. From the rear, the Matrix has rounded rear windows and continuous character lines that run from the front grille to the A-pillar.

The Matrix interior features an asymmetrical center console, angled toward the driver, and front sport seats. A new three-spoke steering wheel completes the package.

Toyota 1/X concept

Toyota will unveil its minimalistic 1/X (pronounced one-Xth) concept vehicle at the Tokyo Motor Show next week. The concept is meant to redefine from its very roots the idea of what it means to be environmentally considerate. Among its technological attributes, the vehicle - with a design that aims to harmoniously coexist with people and society - weighs only "1/Xth" that of other vehicles in its class.

The concept, which adopts light but highly rigid carbon fiber reinforced plastic throughout the body frame, features narrow pillars for a better field of vision. Inside the skeletal structure the 1/X maintains an interior space on par with that of the Prius, while its target fuel efficiency is double and its weight has been reduced to 420kg (about one third of the Prius' weight).

Its power unit - located beneath the rear seat for a midship, rear-wheel-drive system - combines fossil fuel consumption-reducing FFV (flexible fuel vehicle) technology and a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a displacement of only 500cc. This allows charging from an external power source and a longer electric-motor cruising distance. The result of its lower weight and fuel conserving technology is a drastic decrease of CO2 and less air pollution.


Toyota Crown Hybrid Concept

Toyota is touting technology with its new Crown Hybrid concept. Top of the list is the firm's latest hybrid system, VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management). The large car will of course include other features, which Toyota claims will result in an advanced fusion of driving, environmental and safety performance.

According to the carmaker: 'the time has come to present the next-generation inspirational luxury sedan'. The Crown Hybrid concept is powered by a two-stage THS (Toyota Hybrid System) II motor speed reduction device that helps achieve smooth acceleration, high fuel-efficiency, low CO2 and other exhaust emissions benefits and quietness. Other technological advancements include VDIM with active steering control, to achieve optimal balance among drive power, steering and braking.

Inside, the Crown Hybrid adopts a TFT (thin film transistor) LCD "Finegraphic Meter" to provide the driver with a variety of information in an easier-to-see and easier-to-understand way. A total of 10 airbags are also on board for safety.

Toyota Hi-CT concept

Toyota's Hi-CT concept aims to offer a new 'coolness' for automobiles. A departure from conventional vehicles, the Hi-CT (pronounced Hi-city) is an edgy, urban plug-in electric vehicle inspired by the thinking and lifestyles of youth.

Through its avant-garde exterior design and varied configurations, the concept's goal is to offer a sense of enjoyment from a vehicle. Called a 'hi-ride city truck', it features a removable rear trunk and a deck where surfboards, bicycles and other equipment can be loaded.

Powered by plug-in hybrid technology, the Hi-CT is able to be recharged from an external power source, which gives it a greater driving range when running on its battery-powered motor. The concept also includes a 100V AC accessory socket that enables stored electricity to be used to power a variety of electronic gadgetry. And with the battery located under the floor, the Hi-CT achieves a highly efficient cabin with a higher driver position.

Toyota Mark X Zio

Toyota has just launched the Mark X ZiO, a people carrier with an innovative "three-mode cabin" which can seat four, six or seven people depending on the model. Based on the company's "Vibrant Clarity" design philosophy, the ZiO offers a new type of attractiveness that fuses contrasting design elements.

The exterior offers a new frame combining three rows of seats, a solid structure that merges horizontal and vertical lines and a surface shape that appears to be both soft and hard. The front employs a low overall height and a robust yet graceful hood to express strength, while the side expresses flowing styling through its low height as well as front pillars that extend forward, oblique quarter pillars and a notch shape formed by the hatch door. At the rear the car narrows from the cabin toward the hatch door, conveying a sense of stability through its flowing structure.

The interior seeks to combine a personal feel with a sense of flexibility, achieving a balance between coziness and roominess. The instrument panel and door trim feature gently curved surfaces and lines to create a sense of openness and a feeling of being surrounded by comfort. The center console, door switch panel and instrument cluster feature hairline finishing and a Black Mica color that create a calming and luxurious feel, while 'Crystal Shine' Optitron meters take the form of transparent resin disks with special engravings which, when light is refracted on them, appear to float like crystal clear needles.

Designed to appeal to second-generation baby boomers who attach importance to the spirit of innovation and individuality, the ist is a crossover hatchback developed with dynamic driving and easy operation in mind.

Development of the new ist was based on the Toyota brand design philosophy "Vibrant Clarity". The vehicle's unique crossover silhouette was formed by combining a body widened to 1.7 meters with a compact length that is less than 4 meters, evoking the strength and vitality of an SUV.

The front features a wider track compared with the first-generation ist, creating a sense of stability and power, while the side emphasizes the individuality of the compact body with 16-inch wheels and sculpted body lines. The rear creates a unique sense of presence with overhanging fenders and a powerful, broad look.

Inside, the seemingly floating center console features smooth curves that flow like water over a protruding rock. The concentric Optitron meters (with multi-information display) with speedometer and tachometer needles centered on concentric circles, creates an advanced radar-like feel.
