Ilford
Used Toyota Aqua
It stands out for its clever hybrid efficiency and renowned Toyota reliability, all packed into a spacious hatchback. Sold in many markets as the Prius C, the Aqua first appeared in 2011 as a compact hybrid hatchback pairing a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor in a five-door package about the size of a Yaris. It features Toyota’s proven Hybrid Synergy Drive, with updates in 2014 and 2017, and a second-generation model launched in Japan in 2021 offering the latest TNGA platform, greater efficiency, and a full suite of safety aids. Known for reliability, frugal fuel economy, and low-stress ownership, it offers modest performance but excels in city driving due to light handling and hybrid efficiency.
