For over 25 years, Toyota has been leading the way in hybrid cars, revolutionizing and innovating the market. Our stylish hybrids have high performance and dynamic innovation in thier DNA and are enjoyed by over 15 million drivers worldwide. With over 120 million tonnes of CO₂ saved compared to equivalent petrol engines, Toyota continue to make a positive impact on the environment.
Toyota hybrids are self-charging with no need to plug in. Simply get in, buckle up and generate power as you drive.
Toyota Hybrid cars seamlessly switch between electric energy and a blend of petrol and electric power to optimise performance, meaning you can drive like you always have.
Refuelling your hybrid is easy. Top up with petrol as normal at fuel stations, and the self-charging hybrid battery charges when braking or coasting.
Among RRG’s range of quietly charged Toyota hybrids is the stylish, customisable and spacious Toyota Yaris. All of our vehicles come with Toyota’s comprehensive 12-month warranty scheme.
The hybrid’s dual engines work seamlessly in tandem for maximum efficiency, and provide a quiet smooth drive on the road. The electric motor takes over from the combustion engine at lower speeds, meaning that you'll use less fuel and save money at the pumps. Toyota hybrid batteries also last for the lifetime of the car, and use the excess energy generated by the vehicle to ensure they're always charged.
To find out more about which Toyota hybrid vehicles we offer, check our website. You’ll also find a dedicated hybrid page which explains hybrid technology in more detail, and breaks down the main benefits you'll receive as a driver of a Toyota hybrid car.
All of our Toyota hybrids are available to test drive and purchase from any of our 11 Toyota dealerships in the North West and Yorkshire. Our team will be happy to discuss our Toyota vehicles in more detail, and can also outline our flexible pricing options.

Learn how a hybrid car's petrol engine and electric motor work together in different circumstances to give you the best possible mileage.
How does a hybrid car work when pulling away from a stop?
This is one of the main reasons why hybrid cars are more efficient for city driving than a conventional petrol car. The electric motor powers the car, drawing on the battery for the power. Typically, up to 15mph and in reverse the vehicle only ever uses the electrical motor for drive.
How does a hybrid engine work during normal cruising?
This is where the vehicle is at its most efficient. It is powered by the electric motor and a petrol engine to further support the electric motor, or to convert excess power into electricity that can be stored in the battery for later use.
How do hybrid cars work during heavy acceleration?
Both the petrol engine and electric motors work together to increase power to the wheels. At the same time the petrol engine also powers the generator and the electric motor uses electricity from the battery and generator as needed.
How do hybrid cars work during braking and cruising?
When you brake or you take your foot off the accelerator, Toyota Hybrid cars use a clever system called ‘regenerative braking’. As the car no longer needs to apply power to the wheels it allows the spinning wheels to power the vehicle’s generator, which produces electricity and stores it in the battery for later use.
How do hybrid cars work when reaching a complete stop?
Both the conventional engine and electric motor turn off and the car switches to battery power to run everything it needs to – radio, air conditioning, lights etc.
