While many manufacturers might just be venturing into the electrified world with their first hybrid models in 2020, Toyota was a manufacturer there more than 20 years ago.
Debuting its Prius in 1997, this was the first mass-produced hybrid car and has helped to ensure that this Japanese manufacturer is a leader when it comes to electrified models.
Today, the firm has made 15 million hybrid models and 2.8 million of those have come to Europe, and many Toyotas available today are only offered as a hybrid.
So what models are available if you’re looking for a Toyota hybrid? Let’s take a look…
Yaris – from £19,910
The newest of all the models on this list, Toyota’s new Yaris has only just gone on sale and has made the switch to being a hybrid-only, with its efficient powertrain returning up to 65.6mpg, with CO2 emissions of just 98g/km.
The latest Yaris is also better to look at than ever, has a much improved interior next to its predecessor. It’s rather good to drive as well.

A choice of two hybrid models are available, and all are great on fuel, while the Corolla also looks cool and is a very comfortable and easy car to live with.

The smallest of Toyota’s SUV – until the Yaris Cross arrives in 2021 – the C-HR is a funky-looking crossover that’s a great alternative to more conventional models like the Nissan Qashqai.
It’s another Toyota that’s really good to drive, and the option of two different hybrid powertrains makes it an efficient option in the crossover class.

Its styling won’t suit everyone, but what you can’t dispute is its generous standard kit, impressive safety equipment and innovation. It’s also currently the only Toyota available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
