2021 TOYOTA VENZA HYBRID fuel consumption

Hybrid Synergy Drive System
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the
vehicle. When the brakes are applied, the braking force generates electricity, which
is then sent to the traction battery to conserve energy. In addition, the engine shuts
off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy and reduced
vehicle emissions.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Multi-Information Display (MID) and the audio system
screen (navigation system or multi-media system.)
- Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
- Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.
- Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
- When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
- Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.
