Toyota Yaris hybrid review

Toyota Yaris Hybrid

Price: £17,500 (est); Top speed: 110mph (est); 0-62 mph: 12.0sec; Economy: 75mpg (combined); EV range: 1.3 miles; Engine type, cc: 1496cc, 4cyl, 16v; Motor: Battery electric; Power: 73bhp + 26bhp; Torque: na; Gearbox: stepless CVT

Should I buy one?

If saving fuel and producing a minimum of CO2 are vital to your motoring, this will be a good car to own, though it will take genuine real-world testing to affirm that it’s usefully better than the Yaris diesel, which emits only 104g/km of CO2 and costs a cool £3000 less. The rear coup, we can’t help thinking, will come when Toyota unites a modern, small capacity direct injection turbodiesel with its Prius mechanicals. That’ll be a real economy car.
