Toyota is known as the automaker when it comes to hybrid cars. Already sporting a full lineup of green vehicles, the automaker decided to ramp up its hybrid offerings even more this year, mainly in the guise of one of their most popular models: the RAV4. The new hybrid crossover debuted at the New York Auto Show this April, and it’s definitely one of the most exciting new hybrid vehicles to come out in sometime.

To many, the hybrid car may seem like a 21st century marvel. A new, cleaner way to drive that our gas-centric ancestors just didn’t know about, but in reality, hybrid cars – and all-electric cars - have been around much longer than many people might have thought.
