    Hi folks,

    In an effort to expand the supported vehicle with Dr. Prius App, I am trying to find all the non-Toyota made hybrid that borrowing/licensing the same hybrid synergy drive from Toyota.

    Here is a list of vehicle that I know of, please let me know if you happen to have more information, appreciate it.

    Nissan Altima hybrid (same as Camry hybrid)
    2011 Infiniti M35h
    Ford Escape hybrid
    Ford Fusion hybrid
    GM ?

    Best,
    Jack

    I think the Subaru hybrids used Toyota transaxles.

    Would the new Crosstrek PHEV count? It's using the Prime's battery and I assume inverter and electric motors (but Subaru engine and transaxle)

    At one time Ford licensed some of the technology?
    For oddballs do not forget the RAV4-EV that is really a poor man's Tesla. :D

    The current model, yes. The 2013-ish one they used to sell was something else. No power split device.
