Japanese newspapers are suggesting that the company are considering applying their expertise in hybrid technology to the Toyota Yaris.
The battle ground is fierce in the hybrid world with superpowers Toyota and Honda fighting it out. One undercutting the other releasing new models to fill the newly created demand.

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.
