Toyota Camry Hybrid

B1,619,000-1,799,000 from Toyota dealers nationwide. www.toyota.co.th
Toyota merges two successes: Prius’s hybrid engine and Camry’s saloon design—and the result is the Camry Hybrid, the first hybrid car manufactured in Thailand, featuring a 2.4-liter four-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine and a nickel-metal hydride battery with 34 modules and 204 cells. Seven colors available but you need to pay B10,000 extra to get the popular white pearl option.

Style-conscious drivers may love the new Honda CR-Z that features a 1.5-liter I-VTEC four-cylinder engine that gives 122 horsepower. Inside the cute, sporty, two-door model is a CVT 7-speed transmission gear that can shift between three driving modes: normal, sport and eco. The car is imported and available in white only, for now.

Toyota Alphard Hybrid

From about B1,800,000 from Eton Import, 02-721-1222.www.eton-import.com
The 2.4-litre MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) features an exclusive technology that detects brake pedal pressure and speed to calculate the optimum hydraulic pressure, which results in less fuel consumption and 75% less emissions than normal MPVs. Unfortunately, with the high maintenance cost (the battery can cost nearly B300,000), new ones are no longer available. But you can still find secondhand ones in good condition.
