Toyota Prius
Toyota’s most famous hybrid model, the Prius, has always had unusual styling, and this current version is no diff erent. Its sharp looks distract from the fact that it is one of the most aerodynamic cars on the market, which benefi ts refi nement and fuel consumption. Inside, it is just a quirky as it is on the outside, but it feels solid and robust throughout. The Prius range also features a plug-in hybrid version that can travel further, offi cially up to 48 kilometres,

on battery power alone, after which the 1.8-litre petrol engine powers up seamlessly. This car looks even wilder than the regular hybrid, but once you see past the looks, what lies beneath is a very impressive car to drive. It is also possible to spec a solar roof panel that can help recharge the battery on sunny days. If you can charge it at home and you’re not covering huge distances each day, then visits to the petrol station will become a rare thing.
Toyota Prius+
OUR PICK OF THE RANGE Prius+ (the entry-level version)
The Toyota Prius+ is the people carrier for the people who want a hybrid. Using the petrol-electric running gear of the regular Prius, the larger model is longer and wider, allowing it to carry seven on board in a reasonable amount of comfort, although the third row of seats are very small. Also, the Prius+ is based on the older Prius model, not the current generation of car, and so it doesn’t feel quite as special to sit in or drive as the fi ve-seat Prius and Prius Plug-in Hybrid variants you will see in showrooms. Nevertheless, if space and hybrid power is what you crave most of all, this is a vehicle well worth consideration.

Toyota Proace Verso
The Toyota Proace is a van-derived people mover that comes in a number of diff erent guises, to suit your requirements whether you’re a professional chauff eur or need to transport a lot of people and their things. There are two body lengths to choose from, but it’s the longer version that makes more sense to us, as it can seat up to nine and still have some room for luggage. The posh Verso VIP is aptly named as it gets a meeting room style four-seat arrangement with a table in the middle, making it ideal for business executives on the go. On the road, the Proace handles well and is more refi ned than its van-derived nature might suggest it will be.
