Owning a new Toyota Hybrid becomes easier with two newcomers joining the Auris range.
The addition of Active and Sport versions means there’s now a hybrid in all four grades in Toyota’s top-selling supermini range.
Active becomes the new entry point to Toyota’s clean, efficient and super-smooth hybrid technology. The five-door hatch comes equipped with dual-zone climate control, trip computer, power front windows and a split-folding rear seats.
What also comes as standard is the quiet and refined Toyota hybrid experience together with 75g/km CO2 emissions and official combined cycle fuel economy of 85.6mpg.
The low emissions mean no annual road tax (VED) to pay and, for London drivers, exemption from the congestion charge.
The Sport cuts a sharper dash with rear privacy glass, 16-inch alloy wheels, rear spoiler and a rear pillar treatment that creates a floating roof effect.
Other key features include climate control, power windows all round and the Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system with DAB radio, Bluetooth, touchscreen control and rear view camera. An optional Skyview panoramic roof can also be specified (£550).
Using the larger alloy wheel brings a modest change in the benchmark figures to 82g/km and 78.5mpg but Yaris Hybrid Sport retains the benefit of zero road tax.
The new Yaris Hybrid Active is £14,995, including a special £300 introductory customer saving and Yaris Hybrid Sport is £16,695.
