Toyota has enjoyed double success in the Auto Trader New Car Awards with honours for both the C-HR crossover and Hilux pick-up.
Erin Baker, Auto Trader Editorial Director, said: “The Toyota C-HR ranked top for its reliability among city drivers, and owners highlighted one of the most important considerations when shopping for a city car – how easy it is to park. It also has excellent safety features and buyers have been impressed with the smoothness of the ride, how it drives and its quirky design both inside and out.”
C-HR features Toyota Safety Sense as standard, equipping it with active safety systems that can warn of and help prevent many common collision risks in around-town driving. The high driving position gives a commanding all-round view, while manoeuvring in tight spaces can be made easier with a Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Simple Intelligent Park Assist (available as standard or option, according to model grade).
The self-charging hybrid version of C-HR – by far the most popular with UK motorists – is ideally suited to urban motoring, automatically switching to its electric power with zero emissions and fuel consumption and near-silent operation whenever driving conditions permit, notably in slow-moving traffic.
Commenting on the Hilux’s success, Erin Baker added: “Hilux scored highest for power and durability – crucial for pick-up drivers. Owners also praised its renowned reliability, how safe it feels when driven, how it looks and its performance off-road.”
The award confirms Hilux’s status as a machine that’s not just tough, but also equipped to meet the demands of modern motorists in terms of quality, equipment features and refined on-road performance, making it an ideal all-rounder.
The Auto Trader New Car Awards were based on findings from a survey of more than 63,000 UK car owners. Motorists were quizzed about their vehicles across a wide range of issues, from reliability and performance to appearance and running costs. They were also asked about their overall satisfaction with their car and whether they would recommend it to others.
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.
