Segment
Small SUV
Toyota's small-SUV companion to the Yaris hatch — same TNGA-B platform, raised ride height, hybrid-only in the UK. 1.5 self-charging hybrid (116 bhp) is the only powertrain at launch; AWD-i (rear electric motor) was an option on higher trims. 2024 facelift bumped the hybrid to a fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System and added a 130 bhp version, alongside a 5-year fixed warranty extension if you service it through Toyota. GR Sport variant adds cosmetics and slightly stiffer suspension. Sells like Yarises sell — quietly, reliably, in volume.
