Toyota finally killed the V6…
They gave us turbo 4-cylinders and a hybrid…
They promised better MPG…
👉 So did we actually get it? Or is this another marketing trap?
Let’s break it down raw & uncensored.

🤬 RAGE MOMENT: WHY IS HYBRID MPG SO LOW?!
Let’s be honest…
You see “HYBRID” and think:
- 35 MPG?
- 40 MPG?
- Prius-level efficiency?
❌ WRONG.
The Tacoma Hybrid only gets:
👉 23 MPG combined.
So what’s the point?
✅ More POWER
✅ More TORQUE (465 lb-ft!!)
❌ But MPG barely better than gas
This is a POWER HYBRID, not an ECONOMY Hybrid.
OLD TACOMA vs NEW TACOMA MPG (REALITY CHECK)
| Model | Engine | Combined MPG |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 Tacoma V6 | 3.5L V6 | 21 MPG |
| 2024 Tacoma Turbo | 2.4L Turbo | 23 MPG |
| 2024 Tacoma Hybrid | Hybrid | 23 MPG |
😐 3 years later… and only +2 MPG gain??
Yeah… people are MAD for a reason.
REAL-WORLD OWNER TALK (NOT TOYOTA ADS)
| Owner Type | What They’re Saying |
|---|---|
| Daily Commuter | “City MPG still trash in traffic.” |
| Highway Driver | “26 MPG is decent… not mind blowing.” |
| Hybrid Owner | “Power is insane, MPG meh.” |
| Off-Roader | “Didn’t buy this truck to save fuel anyway.” |
WHO SHOULD ACTUALLY BUY THIS TRUCK?
✅ Buy Tacoma 2024 if:
- You want modern tech
- You want huge torque
- You tow, trail, overland
- MPG is not your main concern
❌ Skip it if:
- You want 30+ MPG
- You just drive city daily
- You expected hybrid = gas saver
FINAL VERDICT – 2024 TACOMA MPG IN ONE LINE
“Better than before… but still not impressive for 2024.”
- Turbo Gas: ✅ Acceptable
- Hybrid: ✅ Powerful, ❌ fuel saver
- City Drivers: 😤 Disappointed
