The Corolla and hybrid technology almost seem made for each other, as Richard Berry discovers...

Finally, Australians are starting to dip more than that solitary toe into the hybrid pool, seriously looking at how they can incorporate less conventionally powered vehicles into their daily drives. The Toyota Corolla Hybrid ZR not only features an alternate energy source, it does so in a small car. Not the usual pick for families. Yet it can work especially for families living in the inner city or those looking for a second family car. The Corolla hybrid also started an environmentally conscious conversation in our home that had our kids questioning whether recycling was the only thing they could do to make a difference.

It's taken 25 years for the Toyota RAV4 GXL Hybrid to arrive. Is it worth the wait?

Toyota's Prius changed the game before we even knew what the game was. Now in its 20s and with a bunch of competitors from its own nameplate, let alone Korean challengers, the hybrid's relevance is in question.

The Corolla has moved on from its humble shopping trolley past. With snappy looks and a high-tech chassis, it's also available with high-tech hybrid drive.
