Corolla Cross Hybrid
Toyota has completed its world-renowned Corolla family with the introduction of its first SUV to the range, the Corolla Cross Hybrid. It described the vehicle as a blend of Toyota’s most advanced hybrid and safety technologies, and the practicality of a spacious, high-riding SUV. It is now available in dealerships nationwide and retails from €38,910.
Hybrid electric motoring
Toyota expects the move to hybrid will continue in 2023 as they continue to be the most popular electrified passenger vehicle in Ireland with a 20 per cent market share as of October 20 (up from 17 per cent last year ). In a nationally representative study of prospective car buyers conducted by iReach earlier this year, one in three people stated they intended to buy a hybrid electric for the next car purchase.
Toyota’s hybrid electric cars account for more than 90 per cent of its entire passenger car sales in Ireland. The company says with growing concerns around rising inflation, the threat of recession and rising energy costs, Toyota expects more motorists will seek its hybrid electrics. Toyota has also introduced its recent “Relax” initiative which provides a 12-month service activated warranty to Toyota passenger car or LCV owners who service their vehicles within the Toyota network (available on vehicles less than 10 years old, or with less than 185,000 kms driven ).
Toyota Ireland’s corporate affairs manager Zoe Bradley says Toyota believes its hybrid electrics provide much needed peace of mind and are the best option for Irish drivers looking to start their journey into electrified driving.
“With lower NOx and CO2 than pure fossil fuel powered vehicles, and the ability to drive in zero emissions mode for more than 50 per cent of the time on average, they are more environmentally friendly.
“They are also friendlier on the wallet than other internal combustion engine powered cars, as they don’t need to be plugged in, and they charge when the brakes are applied. This makes them comparatively cheaper to run. For example, we have calculated that our Yaris hybrids will save drivers on average €410 on annual fuel costs compared to non-hybrid competitors.”
