Hybrid Driving Tips
Have you made the switch to a Toyota Hybrid yet? If so, there’s over 10 million other hybrid drivers on the roads and counting. To help hybrid drivers make the most out of their Toyota hybrid, there’s a few tips to help improve fuel consumption and efficiency – so you can driver further for less!
- Familiarise yourself with the information display so you are aware of how much energy you are using on your regular journeys.
- Pay attention to dials and gauges to really understand charge level.
- Keep your hybrid in electric mode as much as possible when driving, always accelerate gently.
- Improve efficiency with ECO mode.
- Pay attention to roads when driving to avoid unnecessary braking/accelerating to avoid wasting fuel. If you break early and gently you will help the hybrid system harvest more energy so that EV mode lasts longer.
- Maintain steady speeds with cruise control.
- When possible, take your foot off the accelerator when driving downhill to allow the electric motor kick-in.
- Think about how often you use air-con, lights and wipers as they will increase energy consumption.

Financial disclosure
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
