Standard Toyota Safety Sense with pre-collision, lane trace, adaptive cruise, auto high beam and road sign assist plus eight airbags including front centre.
The self-charging hybrid returns low fuel use on the WLTP cycle, typically in the mid-4s to low-5s litres per 100 km for front-drive versions and a little higher with AWD. Petrol-only versions use more. Real-world figures often stay close when driven gently, with plenty of electric running in town.
Servicing follows a yearly or mileage-based schedule that alternates lighter oil-and-filter work with fuller inspections. The chain-driven engine needs no belt changes. Hybrid components require little extra attention beyond normal checks. Warranty can extend with dealer servicing.
Safety kit is strong from the base model. Toyota Safety Sense covers automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane keeping, full-range adaptive cruise and more. Eight airbags including a centre airbag between front seats are standard. Crash tests gave five stars at launch and four under later protocols.
Day-to-day ownership stays simple thanks to the hybrid’s efficiency, compact size for city parking and flexible cabin. Keep up with the service schedule at a Toyota centre to maintain the extended warranty option and preserve residual value.
