Toyota Ireland is calling on fleet operators, business owners, and sole traders to take meaningful steps toward reducing their carbon footprint – and their running costs. From July 1st, a new reduced VRT rate of just 8% will allow customers to save €2,000 on the Corolla Hybrid Van, lowering the starting price to €27,378*.
Powered by Toyota’s renowned hybrid technology and emitting just 104g/km of CO2, the Corolla Hybrid Van delivers outstanding efficiency without compromising on space or practicality. Ideal for entrepreneurs, sole traders, and mobile professionals, it offers strong tax benefits, including Benefit-In-Kind relief, and long-term operational savings, making it a compelling choice for forward-thinking businesses.
The Corolla Hybrid Van is ideal for business professionals looking for a modern, eco-conscious alternative to diesel, while also delivering a fuel-efficient drive. Whether you’re a self-employed tradesperson, SME fleet manager or a sales rep on the road, this vehicle offers a stress-free switch to hybrid driving, without the need to plug in. Toyota’s fifth-generation self-charging hybrid technology automatically switches between petrol and electric power, giving you seamless performance with fewer fuel stops and up to 50 full tanks of petrol saved over three years – a potential saving of €2,419**.
With automatic transmission as standard, the Corolla Hybrid Van also ensures a smoother and more comfortable driving experience, particularly in city and stop-start traffic conditions. Inside, the van offers the same high-quality interior and advanced features as its passenger counterparts – including an 8” multimedia display with wireless smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™), dual-zone automatic air conditioning, and heated, height-adjustable front seats with lumbar support for the driver.
BUILT FOR BIGGER LOADS
Uniquely engineered for commercial use, the Corolla Hybrid Van is the longest in its class, with a 4,650mm length, outpacing competitors by up to 288mm in usable rear space – perfect for piping, ladders, equipment and signage. With the sleek Corolla estate exterior, the Corolla Hybrid Van includes two front seats and a generous, rubber-lined loading area behind a full-height steel bulkhead. This design maximises usable space while maintaining a quiet, stable and secure cabin experience. Safety remains paramount, with Toyota Safety Sense systems included as standard, offering added reassurance for those who spend long hours on the road.
As with all Toyota vehicles, the Corolla Hybrid Van is backed by the Toyota Relax Warranty programme. Every time the vehicle is serviced within the Toyota network, a new 12-month warranty is activated – up to 10 years or 185,000 kms – giving peace of mind to busy professionals who depend on their vehicles every day.
Zoe Bradley, Head of Marketing Communications and Corporate Affairs in Toyota Ireland said: “The Corolla Hybrid Van makes it easier than ever to combine sustainability with practicality, proving that going green doesn’t mean compromising on performance, comfort, or capability. From the first of July, Category B vehicles, with CO2 under 120g/km will benefit from a reduced VRT rate of 8%, down from 13.3%. That’s a saving of €2,000 on our Corolla Hybrid Van – but be quick. There’s a limited amount of stock left so get in touch with your local Toyota dealership for a test drive.”
