I had a 2014. I put it in B and drove carefully. Got 60 mpg according to the display. It's important how you drive it. When I bought it (4 years old) the display read 31 mpg so I guess the previous owner was flooring it all the time. Otherwise very reliable and comfortable car. Never gave the slightest trouble.
The Hybrid Toyotas do seem to be extremely reliable, don't they? I was already getting good fuel economy, even on my limited test route, when I drove it on Thursday.
'B' mode is not for economy it is to give you engine braking when the Traction EV battery if fully charged eg when driving down a long steep hill. Try normal D mode you will gett better mpg
My sister in law has one of these, but an estate, sorry Touring Sport. Finished in what I imagine Toyota have given an exotic name but is best described as an entirely appropriate brown. We borrowed it for a weekend a couple of years ago and I thought the economy was terrible but it turns out it has a very small fuel tank. Despite being a distinctly unsporty Touring Sport it did manage to get my stepdaughter to the zip line place mere minutes before it closed therefore completing its mission successfully. Thanks for the memories sir.
The Toyota Hybrids have regen braking when driving in standard D mode, the 'B' mode provides ENGINE braking this is only needed when driving down long steep hills when the Traction battery is fully charged by regen and therefore you are not getting anymore regen braking so if you did not use 'B' mode you would be using the physical brakes more, engine braking saves the brakes...
I tend to like quite severe regenerative braking in the electrified cars I drive, and neither of the modes really have this, but then again, they are just standard hybrids, and so you don't really expect that.
Just the car you need to get to work and back, etc. without issues. Minicab drivers around my area tend to drive around in the Tourer versions of these and the newer Corolla so they must be good. Are we allowed to call those ones "estate cars" anymore?
Yes, we can call them estate cars, even if other manufacturers refuse to use that name these days. I can imagine lots of these, and the later Corolla, are in virtually every town centre in the country!
@@lloydvehicleconsultingthat's one of the reason why it took mine (Corolla TS 196) 10 months to arrive. I see a few on the road, but they are mostly used as cab / Uber drives in cities. The interior space isn't great though, especially at the back, and for tall people (low roof).
We have had a 2010 Prius 1.8 and 2 X 2013 Yaris 1.5 Hybrids, the economy was the same on both cars probably due to better Prius aerodynamics, on motorway journeys the Prius returned us nearly 70mpg
Several similarities with my Honda….being 2019, but not a hybrid or turbo. Currently averaging 56.8mpg E10 petrol. This period of time is not quite new or current for tech…..as in the video. My one has full android auto, but iPhone only gets Bluetooth linking. Also be aware around that time U.K. started using a revised version of DAB, called DAB+, for a few stations. That list has since grown and radio stations using the “+” format will not work on earlier DAB (non +) radios…..on any modern car this is an integrated multipurpose system…..and if you want to upgrade it (if it’s possible) it’s going to cost mega money.
Yes, this is amongst the last of the E180 Auris models, we don't have the latest generation of Toyota's infotainment system yet. The whole DAB/DAB+ thing is really quite confusing. We found out that one of my mother's radios was not DAB+ compatible, despite being a normal DAB one. We just had to switch her back to FM...
@@lloydvehicleconsultingswitching back to fm…. In some parts of U.K. there aren’t many fm or useable am stations Where I am we get bbc radio 1-4 + local bbc wilts on fm along with a couple of commercial stations, and that’s it….on a portable radio. AM isn’t useable. So digital DAB/DAB+ is essential for extra choice, along with mobile internet.
EV mode is only for showing off around car parks when you drive slowly on just battery power, once you get to 25mph OR accelerate briskly the engine will cut in and you are out of EV mode
Did I hear that the price is 14 thousand pounds? Blimey. It does not charm for me at all. The aesthetics alone do not appeal. Also, all the electronics alone would make me nervous.
It's a very low mileage top specification car in very good condition, and these are very much holding their value at the moment. Mind you, I am not sure it's quite for me...

The Toyota Hybid engines are so efficient because they use the Atkinson Cycle design
They are indeed.
Lovely interior and very inoffensive exterior . Definitely a sensible second car. Very quiet also.
Oh yes, sir, a quiet and inoffensive car is a good way to sum it up, I think.

Thank you for sharing your surprisingly dramatic story about the Auris Touring Sports and the need to get to the zip line on time, sir!

Yes, the Prius does have better aerodynamics.
Pretty nice car and will be quite economical.
Yes, if you don't drive aggressively, then it should be quite economical.
That was a rather impatient van driver at 1:35
We like to obey speed limits and drive sensibly on this channel most of the time, sir...
Van driver was a Wazzock
It was a really bad place to overtake.
Virtual hooligan sir 17 minutes in 😱👀♥️
There was a hooligan in a white van who passed me on a blind bend with double white lines in the middle of the road a long time before that, sir.

It's all a bit confusing, isn't it?
I am looking for Toyota yaris or Yaris 2010 to 2013 model under 5000 budget
You need to watch the Toyota Yaris review that I uploaded earlier this week in that case...
Hello Sir , I think you should own at least one Toyota in life , don't you Sir ?
There's another one I filmed that day which I actually preferred to this, sir...
EV mode is only for showing off around car parks when you drive slowly on just battery power, once you get to 25mph OR accelerate briskly the engine will cut in and you are out of EV mode
It did cut back into normal mode at 25 mph when I tried the EV mode.
Did I hear that the price is 14 thousand pounds? Blimey.

1st comment. Is there a prize ? 😀
A free lifetime's supply of oxygen, sir, as usual...
Taxiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
Indeed, sir...
Way too much for me , that dash display !
I will see if I can get my hands on a current generation Corolla and see if the screens are any better in one of those.
