Toyota and Lexus have together received the Green Fleet Manufacturer of the Year title in the Business Car Awards for a second consecutive year. The award category, introduced in 2019, rewards car makers for their work in providing environmentally focused products and services for fleet and business customers.
Toyota can trace the ‘Cruiser’ nameplate to June 1954, when technical director Hanji Umehara revealed that the new name for the off-road vehicle that had become known as the Toyota Jeep would now be the Toyota Land Cruiser. An evocative description as much as a name, Land Cruiser was also felt to resonate well within the export market, which the model was about to pioneer on Toyota’s behalf.
The clocks have gone back signalling the end of British Summer Time, we’re well and truly in autumn, which brings a range of potential driving hazards to contend with. Darker afternoons and adverse weather correlate with an increase in the incidence of car accidents.
An RAC study showed that a fortnight after the clocks go back, there is an annual average increase in car collisions of 5.1% (278 incidents).
Toyota have put together a series of tips to help you drive safely this autumn.
Toyota’s hybrid electric technology reaches an unprecedented level of performance in the new RAV4 Plug-in, due to launch in the UK in 2021. Not only is this model the most powerful version of the world’s best-selling SUV yet, it's also more efficient than any rival in its class.
Equipped with a new plug-in hybrid system that sets electric power as the vehicle’s default running mode, it takes its place as the new flagship of Toyota’s hybrid vehicle range.
The GR Super Sport returned to its spiritual home of Le Mans to drive in public for the first time, as part of its ongoing development process. The hypercar made an appearance shortly before the start of the 88th Le Mans 24 Hours at the Circuit de la Sarthe.
Fittingly for a vehicle based on the two-time Le Mans-winning TS050 Hybrid race car, a modified GR Super Sport development model, customised as a convertible and in GR camouflage livery, completed a demonstration lap, before participating in the ceremony to return the Le Mans trophy for this year’s race.
After clear skies and warm weather in the days leading up to the sixth round of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) it took a surprise turn just over an hour before the race was due to begin when torrential rain hit the rack. Despite the weather though, Toyota Gazoo Racing returned to its winning ways with a one-two finish, giving them a 12-point lead with just two races left in the championship.
Join us on Friday 21st August at 1pm for the virtual launch of the all new Toyota Yaris Hybrid.
Don’t miss the chance to celebrate the launch with us, simply like the Listers Toyota social channels to be notified when the event is about the start.
The all new Toyota Yaris is ready for anything. Condensed and agile, with intelligent packaging to maximise interior space, a lowered centre of gravity and a wider more muscular stance.
Delivering exceptional performance, compact yet purposeful design and optimum comfort, the all-new Toyota Yaris line-up is now available in the UK.
You can choose from a range of different model grades – Icon, Design, Dynamic, Excel and a special Launch Edition.
Features as standard in all models:
Back in March, a 6-month exemption from MOT testing was granted to drivers as a result of the Coronavirus outbreak. The purpose of this change was to help minimise the spread of the virus.
Now that restrictions continue to be eased, drivers of any vehicle that is due an MOT test from the 1 August is now required to obtain a test certificate.
With this in mind, those who had an MOT due date before 1 August will continue to receive a 6-month exemption. It is still really important that all vehicles are kept in a roadworthy condition and are properly maintained.
More than 15 million electric cars on the road are driven by Toyota owners. And every day, more people drive longer distances electrically with Toyota.
You can lead the charge too by choosing from nine Toyota hybrid models, all driving electric up to 50% of the time*.

Although the 2020 Le Mans schedule has been pushed back to September, Toyota Gazoo Racing are still eager to participate in the competition because of their commitment to making ever better cars. Here we take a look back at their 35 year journey.
Their first Le Mans race in 1985 was considered relatively successful, as their No36 car – the TOM’s 85C - crossed the line in 12th position. However it was the next couple of years that proved a challenge.
The All New Toyota Yaris, due for launch during the second half of 2020, has been designed to meet the increasing challenges of everyday urban life. The Yaris returns with a reinvigorated design, new powertrain options and the latest technologies to be able to deal with ever-more congested urban environments.
