The new fully hybrid Prius is the third Toyota model to be granted a 5-star rating this year, after the iQ and new Toyota Avensis. It incorporates the same safety components of the previous generation Prius that in 2004 achieved the greatest 5-star rating for occupant safety protection.
The new Prius is the first fully hybrid car tested by Euro NCAP, and it easily passed with flying colours achieving 82% overall for child occupancy and 88% for adult occupancy in the test results – some of the highest scores ever. Active, passive and pedestrian safety features have all been upgraded throughout.
The major safety equipment includes seven airbags and active headrests, whiplash injury lessening seat design, knee protection panel and seatbelt reminder system for the driver, front and rear passengers. Whilst driving safety systems include electronically controlled braking (ECB), vehicle stability control (VSC+), brake assist (BA) and full traction control (TRAC).
With the introduction of a 2.2 D-CAT 150 clean diesel engine, and an intelligent six-speed automatic transmission, Toyota’s seven-seater Verso achieves extra vivacious temptation.
The powertrain, also found in the Avensis, exhibits all the characteristics of Toyota Optimal Drive technologies, delivering pleasing performance with a smooth drive, economic fuel consumption and reduced emissions. Maximum power of 148bhp is provided at 3,600rpm and greatest torque of 340Nm is obtainable from just 2,000rpm giving impressive acceleration from 0-62mph in a fraction over 10 seconds Official combined cycle fuel economy is 41.5mpg and CO2 emissions are 178g/km. The use of Toyota’s D-CAT system with its maintenance-free particulate filter and four-way catalyst has resulted in simultaneous reductions in NOx and particulate emissions.
The six-speed automatic transmission adapts its shift pattern automatically in line with individual driving style and road conditions, with smooth and quiet shifts. The 2.2 D-CAT 150 automatic is available in Verso TR and T Spirit grades, both of which are fitted with 17-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels as standard.
The new Toyota Yaris packs a long list of good things into a small, convenient package. With its mix of fantastic good looks, high level of quality and superb practicality, it’s a smart choice.

As some of Toyota’s regular visitors will know, the new hybrid Prius has been busy touring the UK over the last few weeks. The third-generation Prius is faster, more economical and has more technology than its predecessors. Toyota has changed the 1.5 litre engines from the two previous models with a larger 1.8 litre power pack. This allows driving at lower-revs so ultimately uses less fuel on motorway runs and in cold-start situations. Bodywork has been re-engineered to improve the drag co-efficient to 0.25 and torque has been increased, leading to an impressive 0-60mph time of just 9.8 seconds, a second quicker than the previous models.
The new model has three driver-selectable driving modes. ‘EV-Drive’ lets you run on the battery alone for up to a mile if conditions allow. ‘Power Mode’ increases the sensitivity of the throttle for a sportier ride and ‘Eco Mode’ which prudently alternates between petrol and electric drives to return the best MPG.
Toyota is previewing the car to journalists and customers at the Longcross test track and proving ground in Surrey. Watch out for the full showcase of the Prius at this years Geneva motor show.
This city friendly compact alternative to family hatchbacks and Superminis shows real street credibility with practicality and a sure heir of luxury- The new Toyota Urban Cruiser looks interesting and portrays a statement of confidence. With a choice of 1.3 petrol or a 1.4 diesel delivering 51.4mpg and 57.6mpg combined fuel cycle its inexpensive to run but loaded with all mod cons. The road tax won’t break the bank and you can be doing your bit for the environment with an extremely low carbon footprint.
Some great news for Toyota customers was evident in Chancellor Alistair Darling second Budget on 22 April 2009. The government has announced the “scrappage scheme” enabling owners of older cars and light commercials to apply for a discount of up to £2,000 towards the purchase of a new vehicle as an incentive for scrapping the old one. It does seem a draw on the old adage but there really hasn’t been a better time to buy a new Toyota. The Scrappage scheme is applicable to owners for at least the last 12 months of cars and light commercial vans (max 3.5 tonnes) registered before 31st August 1999. Call Pentagon to see if you are eligible.
