Roadshow: U.S. driving public clamors for hybrid minivan for families
Quote:
|
Toyota has had a hybrid minivan since 2001 and has plans to introduce a Sienna hybrid perhaps next year, seating eight. It supposedly will get about 40 miles per gallon, though the mileage will probably be lowered when new estimates are out next year. You may want to look at the Highlander SUV hybrid, which now offers three rows of seats. Chrysler said it would have a hybrid minivan someday, but it's never marketed a hybrid and one is likely many years away.

Why not import the Hybrid Estima/Previa, better mileage, 7 passengers?

They don't want to hurt Sienna sales.
Also, I'm sure they'll sharing the line with the HH once production gets moving.

With Prius sales doing very well, we can expect more hybrids to become available.
And that's one reason I bought a Prius.
