Used Toyota Aqua for sale

All Aqua models come with anti-lock brakes, multiple airbags and electronic stability control. Later models feature advanced systems like pre-collision braking, lane departure alert and additional airbags. Safety ratings have consistently been strong for its class.

All Aqua models pair a 1.5-litre petrol engine with Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive and an automatic CVT. First-generation cars (2011-2020) use the 1NZ-FXE with a NiMH battery, while the second-generation Aqua (2021-present, Japan-only) introduced a newer 1.5 Dynamic Force engine and lithium-ion batteries in some trims.

Most used Aquas will have climate control, USB connectivity and keyless start. Higher trims offer touchscreen infotainment, reversing camera and upgraded audio. Note that JDM-imported models may have Japanese language on the head unit, something to keep in mind if you want all features to work as expected in the UK.

Fuel economy is a highlight. Expect 55-70mpg in mixed UK driving, with city trips returning even more. Official Japanese test cycle figures were higher, but even in real-world use, the Aqua is one of the most efficient non-plug-in hybrids available.

Hybrid batteries are reliable, but always check for warning lights or odd shifting behaviour. Listen for excessive road noise or rattles, especially at speed. Confirm all electronics work, particularly if the car was imported. For an expert review, book The AA Vehicle Inspection for peace of mind.

Yes, the Aqua earns a strong reputation for reliability, much like other Toyota hybrids. With regular maintenance, many owners report high mileages with minimal issues. Hybrid components are especially tough, supporting the Aqua’s popularity as a trusted commuter car.
