Toyota Yaris Hybrid: official UK price announced

It’s official. With a starting price of less than £15,000, the new Toyota Yaris Hybrid will offer market-leading CO2 emissions of 79g/km, and fuel economy of 80.7mpg.

The CO2 figure of just 79g/km delivers real running cost benefits for drivers. It means Yaris Hybrid qualifies for free road tax (VED) in the UK, and is exempt from the London congestion charge. For company car drivers, the record low CO2 emissions fall well within the lowest Benefit In Kind (BIK) taxation band of 10%.

The new Yaris Hybrid shows Toyota doing what it does best, providing market-leading technology at an affordable price.

Yaris Hybrid will be available in the UK for less than £15,000 on-the-road, making it the most reasonably priced hybrid on sale in the UK.

The 99bhp Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain (pictured below) offers a unique combination of economy and power in a small hatchback. And all this without requiring the customer to compromise on comfort features such as air-conditioning and automatic transmission, which are fitted to the car as standard – more details announced here.

Part of the genius of the full hybrid system is minimising the time on any given journey when the petrol engine is running. These “zero-emission” periods can be as much as one third of a typical urban journey. Yaris Hybrid is the most CO2 efficient combustion engine vehicle in the mainstream market.

As we announced earlier this month, Yaris Hybrid will debut at the 2012 Geneva motor show, alongside GT 86 and the FT-Bh and Toyota diji concepts.

It is available for pre-order from Toyota Centres now, with customer deliveries from 1 July.

    1. Hi Nathan,
      We can confirm that the Toyota Yaris Hybrid will be available in the UK with a starting price under £15,000. Thanks for your question.

  1. I TRULY LOVE THE TOYOTA YARIS WITH ITS 1.5 VVTI HYBRID ENGINE THE YARIS NEEDS EXTRA POWER IN ORDER TO GIVE IT THAT EXTRA BOOST IT NEEDS TWIN TURBO TO GIVE IT 278BHP 6 SPEED GEAR BOX SPORTING SEATS PLENTY OF LEG ROOM BIGGER BOOTH BIGGER WHEEL BASE BROADER WHEEL ARCHES 18INCH ALLOY’S CONTROL SYSTEM ON STEERING WHEEL 5 INCH COLOUR SAT NAV KIDS ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM

  2. Shelling out £15k on anything could never be regarded as ‘cheap’, but it is certainly a competitive package. I am also pleased that CVT transmission is included and not that awful MMT. The key question for me is fuel consumption – how close will the car get to that 80mpg figure in real life driving? We shall see.

  3. I know that Toyotas are reliable and now with a 5 year warranty should give trouble free motoring for longer, BUT
    the price of this little car is high and I wonder if it makes financial sense to most people. Also the interior of the new Yaris feels cheaply finished with a lot of hard textured plastic. It is nowhere near as nice as a VW Polo to sit in for example, which is a shame as the Yaris will almost certainly be the more reliable of the two.

  4. What does ‘under £15,000’ mean? £14,999?

    This car should be priced around £13k to be competitive. It’s still too expensive – I just hope that dealers will be open to negotiation.

  5. Hi John

    Full details of the Yaris Hybrid specification and price have been released, you can see it here at http://ow.ly/abdhN. The T-Spirit model will have cruise control as standard, I hope that helps answer your question.

    Apologies about the delay in coming back to on this matter.

  6. Hi Michael

    I ran a 2002 Mk1 Prius for 9 years and over 160,000 miles, and apart from excellent fuel economy, the Hybrid system meant other running costs were minimal: the original brake pads lasted 100,000 miles (only replaced then because the discs rusted!), and spark plugs had only been replaced twice (then only because the book said every 60,000 miles – the ones they took out looked like new). No belts to wear out or break. Servicing was really cheap by today’s standards. Plus the serene driving experience was magic!

    I’m tempted to buy a Yaris Hybrid because the current Prius is just too big for my needs (and I hate the closed-in centre console that makes it impossible to get in from the passenger side when some-one’s parked too close to the driver’s door – a constant problem in London – that put me off the Auris Hybrid too).

    Regards

    PeteB

  7. I’d be interested to know if the Hybrid Yaris will have heated door mirrors, and whether they fold in electrically (preferably automatically folding/unfolding when the central locking is operated).

    Thanks, regards, PeteB
