Who it suits

Drivers who want a frugal, familiar hybrid and do not want to plug in. It makes 103 kW, claims 4.0 L/100 km, and the hybrid battery has an 8 year / 195 000 km warranty.

Who should look elsewhere

Buyers who want to cut running costs sharply or drive on electricity, since you pay petrol prices for every kilometre. Our figures assume the sedan, so confirm the body style before you buy. Claimed fuel use is usually better than what you will see in real driving.
