  The new Toyota Yaris hybrid will cost from £19,910 in the UK, the company has announced.
  The fourth generation of the Japanese brand’s supermini is the first model on the TNGA GA-B platform, a downsized version of the same chassis components that have been well received on the Corolla and RAV4. It’s being launched as a hybrid only - and despite earlier rumours that Toyota GB might consider adding a non-hybrid edition as a lower-priced entry point to the range, Auto Express unde

  Toyota has released a few extra details on the new Yaris’s powertrain, as well as some additional information on the car’s equipment levels. The fourth-generation supermini will go on sale in the UK later this summer, offering fresh competition for the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa.

  According to official figures, a car is stolen every nine minutes in Britain. The anti-theft technology fitted to some models might deter the casual thief or joyrider, but can actually give sophisticated criminals a way to steal your car. These types of electronic thefts mean your pride and joy could be stolen from your driveway in seconds while you sleep, leaving you with a lot of inconvenience and facing increased insurance premiums.

• Best car mats on sale 2021

  09-01-2020 18:00
  
  Given the huge cost of replacing worn and frayed original-fit carpets, investing in protective mats makes a lot of sense. When it’s time to sell your car, pristine carpets will help to give it that as-new look, increasing both its value and desirability. 
  There are cut-to-size sets available, although it’s cheaper to opt for universal mats. However, these sometimes leave areas uncovered. Overall, a trim-to-fit set offers the best compromise and could potentially be used in your

  A set of protective floor mats is a fraction of the cost of new carpets and a great investment. By keeping your car neat inside, you’ll increase its value come resale time. Fully tailored sets fit and look better, but are more expensive. Universal sets are the cheapest, but it’s a lottery whether they suit the footwells. In general, trim-to-fit offers the best compromise.

New car smell, vanilla, and mint are still as popular as ever, but ice cream, leather, and even bacon are some of the newer additions being brought in by the many companies wanting a piece of this lucrative market.
  Alongside an enormous range of perfumes, the methods of delivering these sweet smelling - and sometimes whacky - flavours are expanding, too.

  A full used buyer’s guide on the Toyota GT86 covering the GT86 Mk1 (2012-date)Ever since Toyota arrived in the UK in the mid-sixties, it has gained a reputation for building worthy family cars that focus on practicality and reliability rather than driver enjoyment. That’s despite the fact that over the years the brand has been responsible for several generations of MR2, Celica and Supra – cars aimed at the enthusiast.

  A huge number of smartphones can ‘fast charge’ nowadays, but to make best use of that ability, you really need a suitable charger. Using a wireless device (whether it’s an inductive charger or a QI-type) makes it easy to keep your smartphone topped up while driving, so we tried eight wireless phone chargers to find the top performer.
