Independent, in-depth research by Which? confirms that the latest Toyota hybrid electric cars give motorists more miles per gallon and lower annual furl bills while producing less polluting emissions in real-world driving than petrol and diesel rivals.
“Two decades on after the first Prius was sold, it seems hybrids are starting to become the truly fuel-efficient option,” Which? declares.
The report crunched data from stringent testing of 123 different UK market cars since the start of 2017 to determine the most economical and those with highest emissions levels. It also measured its findings against the official test mpg and CO2 figures that all manufacturers are required to quote.
The results demonstrate the significant advances Toyota has made with its hybrid technology, compared to the performance of cars with conventional petrol and diesel engines, whether driving around town or on the open road.
Toyota has constantly improved the performance of its hybrid electric technology and made it available to an ever-wider range of customers by introducing it across its model range, from the Yaris supermini to the RAV4 SUV. At the same time, Toyota has ended the use of diesel engines in its passenger vehicles in Europe.
Hybrid is also the core technology principle Toyota is using to develop a range of different powertrains to suit different driving applications and customer needs, including fuel cell electric, plug-in hybrid electric and battery electric vehicles. This will ultimately have the potential to deliver mobility that has zero impact on the environment.
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.
