MANILA, Philippines — Toyota Motor Philippines Corp. (TMP) has started the sale of the Land Cruiser hybrid variant in the country, expanding its offering in the growing electrified vehicle segment.

In a statement, TMP said the Land Cruiser hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is now available in the market as part of the firm’s continuous expansion of its vehicle lineup to cater to customers’ changing needs and help reduce carbon emissions.

This follows the preview of the Land Cruiser HEV during the 10th Philippine International Motor Show held earlier this month.

The Land Cruiser sports utility vehicle has a strong following in the Philippine market because of its reliability and performance.

Even Land Cruiser variants from different generations can still be seen on Philippine roads today.

The hybrid variant features a new engine that will now run on gasoline instead of diesel.

It also comes with electric power steering, which provides a lighter driving experience.

“The Land Cruiser HEV is part of Toyota’s efforts in offering different powertrains that address our customers’ needs and lifestyles,” Elijah Marcial, first vice president for vehicle sales operations at TMP, said.

Rising fuel prices are pushing consumers to go for electrified vehicles as driving traditional cars becomes more expensive.

“We hope the addition of the Land Cruiser HEV to Toyota’s wide lineup of cars gives our customers the power of choice when it comes to their mobility needs,”  Marcial said.
