Toyota Sai Luxury Hybird Sedan

Toyota introduces in Japan the new Sai luxury hybrid sedan that will be on sale on Japan on 7 December. Toyota’s Sai features a gasoline-electric Toyota Hybrid System (THS) II with a 2.4-liter Atkinson cycle combustion engine for outstanding fuel efficiency and use of Ecological Plastic (made from plant-derived materials) for approximately 60% of the interior surface area.

The engine of Sai offers 147 horsepower and up to 187hp when there is electric boost from the 245-volt battery pack. It does 0-60lm in 8.4 seconds. The Sai will come in multiple colors.

The Sai is based on a concept derived from the Japanese word sai-which means “talent” when written as “才” and “coloration” when written as “彩”-as a hybrid-only sedan “combining advanced talent and multi-color sophistication”.
