Toyota and Honda continue the battle in the stakes for the new emerging hybrid market.
The battle for the larger hybrid market continues to range with the Honda Insight challenging already popular Toyota Prius.
Meanwhile the two companies begin to fight on different territory. Honda have been working on a hybrid version of the Honda Jazz which has prompted Toyota into action.
Engineer Akihito Otsuka told the Nikkei newspaper about the new design which will be based on the popular Yaris. Otuska commented about the new design which undercut the new Honda Insight.
The new vehicle will not take the name of the Yaris which it is based and it will be marketed as a vehicle in its own right. Likely being launched around 2011 it takes technology developed in the immensely popular Yaris as Toyota aim to make the most of their years of experience in the field.
They expect this model to be sold all over the world so expect to see it on own streets.

There are many practical reasons to leasing a car rather than buying one. Car leasing offers lower monthly payments, lower initial deposit, road tax and breakdown recovery. You also have the opportunity to drive a new car every two or three years and all vehicles include the standard manufacturer’s warranty.
Our leasing deals are powered by Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.
