2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid Overview

You can’t go wrong with the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid if you’re looking for an adventure-ready truck that’s also economical. The hybrid version of this popular Toyota pickup has everything you could want in a capable truck. From its modern technology and upgraded features to its rugged design and exhilarating power, the Tacoma Hybrid won’t let you down. Whether tackling the trails or cruising city streets, you’ll always enjoy the ride without breaking the bank. Keep reading as our Longo Toyota team in El Monte, California, shares this list of the 2024 Tacoma Hybrid’s top features.

Trim Options

There are eight trim options for the 2024 Toyota Tacoma, but the hybrid powertrain is only available on five trims. The TRD Pro and Trailhunter trims come standard with the hybrid system, while it’s optional for the TRD Sport, TRD Off Road, and Limited trims. The SR, SR5, and TRD PreRunner don’t have a hybrid option. The Toyota Tacoma Hybrid price is currently estimated to start at an MSRP of $35,000 based on similar vehicles in its segment, but Toyota has yet to announce the official starting price for this vehicle.

Interior Features

Inside the Toyota Tacoma Hybrid, you’ll get comfortable seating for two people in the extended cab. There’s plenty of storage space behind the driver and passenger seats for off-roading gear, tools, or whatever you need to take with you. A rugged look makes this truck feel tough from the inside out, with several seating material colors and options available to help you customize the cabin. 

A large center console between the seats provides a place to keep your stuff organized and out of the way. Use the various compartments to store your personal items, while drink holders ensure your truck stays spill-free. Knobs and controls are within your reach on the center console and the dash. You’ll be able to turn up the volume on the available 10-speaker JBL sound system or crank up the air conditioning or heat to stay at just the right temperature with little effort.

The sporty TRD Pro has some upgraded interior features you’re sure to want. Covered in a hot red material with black trim, the IsoDynamic Performance Seats in the TRD Pro feel incredible underneath you, especially when you take this truck off the beaten path. These seats have upper and lower gauges that help absorb every bump and dip on the trail. This model also has special badging that makes it stand out.

Exterior Design

If it’s off-road capability you’re after, you’ll find it in the exterior design features of the Tacoma Hybrid. Better suspension means you won’t feel road imperfections no matter where you drive. The FOX QS3 adjustable shocks in the TRD Pro give you the best overall performance of any Tacoma out there. Also helping the TRD Pro stand out are its unique 18-inch alloy wheels sporting 33-inch Goodyear tires that provide all the grip you need regardless of the terrain. TRD Pro trims have underbody protection and a disconnecting front anti-roll bar to make off-roading even more fun.

Your Tacoma Hybrid can have a 5-foot short bed or a longer 6-foot bed, depending on your hauling needs. Rumor has it that the Tacoma’s truck bed can now support more volume, and the payload capacity will increase to 1,709 pounds. So this truck is ready to work and play. Skid plates and tow hooks on the bumper can help you avoid a potentially tricky situation, and the available power inverter for the truck bed allows you to electrify your drive, producing up to 2,400 watts of power.

Efficiency and Power

Although Toyota has yet to release the exact Toyota Tacoma Hybrid fuel-efficiency ratings, experts have made some predictions based on data from vehicles with similar hybrid powertrains. The Tundra, for example, has a V-6 hybrid powertrain, as does the Lexus RX 500h, but we don’t expect these vehicles to have the same fuel efficiency as the Tacoma because of differences in weight. Some estimates put the Toyota Tacoma’s fuel economy below 30 mpg but above 25 mpg combined. We’ll have to wait and see what the EPA says when the Tacoma is put to the test.

The 2024 Tacoma Hybrid combines gas and battery power to create a powerful driving experience. Its 2.4-liter turbocharged i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain delivers a mind-blowing 326 combined horsepower. You’ll feel the power of the maximum 456 lb-ft of torque as you crawl, climb, or accelerate to overcome any obstacle that stands in your way. This power system works with an eight-speed automatic transmission to ensure every drive is smooth and refined.

Safety and Technology

You don’t have to sacrifice safety or technology features for efficiency and off-road prowess when you choose the Tacoma Hybrid. Every Tacoma comes with the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite of safety technologies that give you peace of mind when you’re behind the wheel. Some of the more recent features in this suite include road sign assist, lane-centering assist, and adaptive cruise control. Blind-spot monitoring is an available safety feature, and several towing options make pulling a trailer a breeze.

A standard 8-inch touch screen or optional 14-inch display screen is front and center in the cockpit of the Tacoma Hybrid, ensuring you stay connected on the go. Toyota’s infotainment system makes it simple to pair your device with your truck to access playlists or make hands-free calls. The system works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to seamlessly connect you to your digital world. Use the USB ports throughout the cabin to keep your devices charged, or go with the wireless charger and avoid searching for a cord.
