“Toyota Century Hybrid” refers to two different vehicles: the 2018 Century sedan, a non-plug-in V8 hybrid, and the Century SUV introduced in 2023, a plug-in V6 hybrid. Their engines, battery chemistries, fuel-economy figures and charging capability differ. Toyota’s published figures are Japanese-market test results; they are not promises of real-world consumption.
Which Toyota Century Hybrid do you mean?
The body style and generation matter. Toyota’s third-generation Century sedan, announced in 2018, uses a conventional hybrid system: it cannot be plugged in. The Century SUV, announced in 2023, is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), with an external charging capability and a stated electric-driving range.
| Model | Hybrid type | Engine and traction battery | Charging and published figures |
|---|---|---|---|
| Century sedan (2018) | Non-plug-in hybrid (HEV) | 5.0-liter V8; nickel-metal hydride battery | No plug-in range stated. Toyota reported 13.6 km/L under Japan’s JC08 test cycle. Toyota’s 2018 launch announcement |
| Century SUV (introduced 2023) | Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) | 3.5-liter V6; lithium-ion battery | 69 km WLTC plug-in range; 14.2 km/L combined WLTC. Toyota Japan’s June 2025 specification sheet |
The figures in the last column are not directly comparable: Toyota reported the sedan’s fuel economy on JC08 and the SUV’s on WLTC, different test cycles. The sedan and SUV are also different vehicles.
What engine does the Toyota Century Hybrid have?
Century sedan: 5.0-liter V8 HEV
Toyota’s 2018 Japanese launch announcement specifies the sedan’s 2UR-FSE 4,968 cc V8. The engine is rated at 280 kW (381 PS) at 6,200 rpm and 510 N·m at 4,000 rpm. Its electric motor is rated at 165 kW (224 PS) and 300 N·m; Toyota lists combined system output of 317 kW (431 PS). The traction battery is nickel-metal hydride. These are manufacturer specifications for the sedan announced in 2018, not for the SUV.

Century SUV PHEV
Toyota Japan’s June 2025 specification sheet reports the following WLTC figures for the Century SUV PHEV:
| Measure | Toyota-published figure |

| City | 10.6 km/L |
| Suburban | 16.2 km/L |
| Highway | 16.2 km/L |

Toyota defines WLTC as a combined test cycle based on city, suburban and highway driving. These certified results are not guaranteed real-world outcomes. The official sources cited here do not establish a named independent real-world consumption study or an owner-use average, so neither model has a supported real-world average to quote here.

Is the Toyota Century a plug-in hybrid?
The 2018 Century sedan is not; it is a non-plug-in HEV. The Century SUV is a PHEV. Toyota says the SUV does not have to be plugged in to keep driving: when traction-battery charge falls, the vehicle is controlled to operate as a hybrid using its gasoline engine and electric motor.
EV and HV operation generally switch automatically. The driver can select HV mode to preserve EV charge, and Toyota recommends HV mode on highways or uphill roads to reduce electricity use. The owner’s manual notes that EV range varies with battery charge, vehicle speed, air-conditioning use and other driving conditions.

How long is the Century battery warranty?
Toyota Japan’s general hybrid FAQ says traction-battery coverage lasts five years from new-vehicle registration, capped at 100,000 km. The FAQ is general guidance for Toyota hybrid traction batteries; it does not establish every Century-specific term, exclusions, coverage in other markets or the treatment of a particular vehicle’s registration history. Confirm the applicable warranty booklet or ask a Toyota dealer about the specific vehicle. Toyota Japan hybrid-battery FAQ
That traction-battery guidance should not be confused with the Century PHEV’s charging cable. Toyota separately says the standard 7-meter cable is covered as a special-warranty item for five years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first. This statement is about the cable, not the traction battery. Toyota Japan FAQ on the charging cable
