Toyota Yaris Handed Used Car Award
The hybrid Toyota Yaris has been named as the best alternatively fuelled vehicle on the pre-owned car market at the annual Car Dealer Used Car Awards.
The category includes all cars that are not powered exclusively by either a petrol or diesel engine, providing fierce competition from across the marketplace – with full EV cars, plug-in hybrid and self-charging hybrids all eligible for the top prize.
The fourth generation of the Yaris, which hit showrooms back in 2021, came out on top thanks in no small part to its impressive efficiency.
High fuel economy and low CO2 figures combine to make the model one of the cost-effective options on the used car market.
“This year’s winner has a hybrid powertrain that offers jaw-dropping efficiency and can slash owners’ running costs,” Mike Brewer – presenter of Wheeler Dealers and a member of the judging panel – said.
“The Yaris is a great little car and is a hugely deserving winner of this award.”
All Yaris models sold through Toyota’s Approved Used service undergo a comprehensive 145-point technical check that includes the status of the hybrid system and mechanical parts, and the engine and battery condition.
