Two NEW hybrid models are added to the toyota Yaris range of Supermini cars, including the cheapest yet.

  • Yaris Hybrid range grows with new Active and Sport versions
  • Yaris Hybrid Active enjoys the lowest on-the-road price a for a new Toyota hybrid, on offer at launch at £14,995.
  • New Yaris Hybrid Sport available through Access Toyota with zero per cent representative
  • Both models on sale now
Owning a new Toyota Hybrid becomes easier than ever before with two new models joining the Yaris Hybrid line-up. 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 COemissions 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.
Pricing and launch offers
The new Yaris Hybrid Active is launched with an on-the-road price tag of £14,995, including a special £300 introductory customer saving. Yaris Hybrid Sport is priced at £16,695.

Both models are made highly affordable with attractive AccessToyota PCP deals. The new Active model is available through an AccessToyota PCP arrangement at 4.9 per cent APR representative1. The Yaris Hybrid Sport can be obtained with £900 finance deposit allowance and nought per cent  APR representative2.
