Welcome to the Toyota Hybrid Nation

Roisin from Waterford averaged 63% EV drive time in her Toyota Corolla Hybrid Electric on her last trip. While Ciara hit 73% in her Yaris Cross Hybris Electric on the school run. All without ever having been plugged in.

So what about your electric drive time? If you’re a Toyota Hybrid Electric driver you could win some great prizes in our new competition – The Toyota Hybrid Nation!

We believe that hybrid electric is the ideal way to switch from a petrol or diesel car to a more sustainable way of motoring. Hybrid Electric cars emit less CO2 and less NOx than petrol and diesel cars, making our roads safer for everyone, and reducing emissions for the planet. They also use less petrol, meaning lower fuel costs.

So join the Hybrid Nation. Show the world how easy it is to drive in electric mode and win prizes!
