All Toyota hybrids are sold with a three-year/100,000km warranty, a six-services/90,000km service plan and an eight-year/195,000km warranty on the battery. It’s a smooth-driving car whose high-profile tyres make for a cushy ride. It’s solidly built and has a sturdy, rattle-free feel. For an SUV, it feels perky through the cut-and-thrust of corners too./100km was still impressively frugal for a midsized SUV. Interestingly, the fuel consumption stayed the same whether cruising on freeways or stop-start urban driving, compared with non-hybrid cars, which tend to be thirstier around town than on open roads.
Along with a lot of space, rear-seat passengers are well taken care of with a centre armrest incorporating a pair of cupholders, rear air vents, and two USB ports for charging mobile devices.
