Toyota Yaris Hybrid T3 front action

The Yaris Hybrid supermini is the smallest hybrid Toyota makes and second only to the Prius Plug-In in the green stakes, with CO2 emissions as low as 79g/km – although our top-spec car manages 85g/km.

The great figures are achieved by hooking up the 1.5-litre petrol engine to a compact electric motor. Together, they produce 98bhp and can launch the Yaris Hybrid from 0-62mph in 11.8 seconds.
