Last year Toyota’s hybrid models counted for 28.5% of its sales in Europe, and posted an annual increase of 15%. This was certainly one of the main reasons for Toyota’s improvement. The Yaris – its best-selling model – did not only post an overall sales increase of 8.4% over 2014 results but its average emissions dropped by 5.8g/km, from 101.2g/km in 2014 to 95.4g/km. The hybrid Yaris counted for 37% of its sales in Europe and its average CO2 emissions fell from 79.6g/km in 2014 to 77g/km in 2016. However diesel and petrol engines posted even better improvements. It was also the case for the Auris, the second best-selling Toyota in Europe. While its diesel and petrol powered versions posted sales declines, the hybrid ones managed to increase their registrations by 11% posting an average CO2 emissions of only 87g/km.
