As a leader among joint venture automakers, GAC Toyota has not indulged in past glory, but has demonstrated its unique strategy and courage in the wave of electric vehicles. Against the backdrop of global automakers turning to electrification, GAC Toyota has achieved a historic leap in hybridization of its models, with oil-electric hybrid technology as its core, with cumulative sales exceeding 1 million. At the same time, facing the tide of intelligence, GAC Toyota did not choose to retreat, but fully embraced smart car machines and automatic driving assistance systems, showing that joint venture automakers can also keep pace with the times.
Recently, there have been rumors in the market that Toyota may adopt BYD's hybrid technology, but GAC Toyota quickly refuted the rumors, showing its position and confidence. This courage comes from Toyota's unique insights into pure electric vehicles and its firm belief in hybrid technology. GAC Toyota's cooperation with BYD is limited to the battery supply of pure electric vehicles and entry-level hybrid vehicles, while GAC Toyota's development path is obviously broader.


From the launch of Toyota Camry Hybrid to the price parity of gasoline and electric vehicles, GAC Toyota has been popularizing hybrid technology. Today, the fifth-generation hybrid technology in the new Landa and Camry heralds the electrification of the automotive driving experience. In the future when fuel vehicles gradually transform into electric vehicles, GAC Toyota is ready. All its models are hybridized, and it is the first to provide worry-free lifetime power battery protection, demonstrating its deep understanding of consumers and keen insight into the market.
As a leading new energy enterprise, BYD's plug-in hybrid vehicle development strategy has become an industry benchmark. However, GAC Toyota has a long-term vision and regards plug-in hybrid vehicles as another important development direction besides oil-electric hybrid vehicles. Prius Prime was once the sales champion of new energy vehicles in North America. Now GAC Toyota plans to introduce Toyota's native plug-in hybrid technology. High-end models such as Camry, Highlander and Sienna are expected to become the leaders of plug-in hybridization.
GAC Group's electric vehicle strength should not be underestimated, and GAC Toyota is also relying on this advantage to build pure electric vehicles such as the Bozhi 3X. In the field of plug-in hybrids, GAC Group has also demonstrated its strong technical strength, providing GAC Toyota with a solid foundation that does not rely on external cooperation.
The cooperation between Toyota and BYD is a stage of mutual complementation and win-win, while GAC Toyota has chosen a more independent development path. Refusing to cooperate with BYD does not mean closing the door to itself. On the contrary, GAC Toyota has demonstrated its confidence in its own technology and its deep insight into the future market. GAC Toyota is accelerating towards the future development of hybrid vehicles based on oil-electric hybrid vehicles and backed by Toyota's world-leading plug-in hybrid technology.
Facing the future, GAC Toyota has set a grand goal: to build three high-end models, including Camry, Highlander and Sienna, into benchmarks for plug-in hybrid vehicles. This goal is not only a challenge for itself, but also a guide for the entire industry, indicating that GAC Toyota will continue to exert its leadership and influence in the field of hybrid vehicles.
