Looking for an ultra-efficient hatchback that combines style with sustainability? The Toyota Prius continues to lead the way in hybrid technology with its striking design and remarkable efficiency. This pioneering Toyota model delivers impressive fuel economy of up to 565.0 mpg, making it perfect for environmentally conscious drivers.
Getting behind the wheel of a new Toyota Prius is more accessible than you might think. With Hippo Leasing's range of new and used Prius lease deals, including zero-deposit options, you can drive this efficient Toyota hybrid for affordable fixed monthly payments.
Why lease the Toyota Prius?
The Prius showcases Toyota's latest hybrid technology with impressive performance credentials. The advanced 2.0-litre hybrid powertrain delivers a combined 194 hp in front-wheel drive form or 196 hp with all-wheel drive, enabling swift acceleration of 0-60 mph in just 6.8 seconds. Yet it maintains exceptional efficiency with CO₂ emissions as low as 12 g/km.
Step inside and you'll find a modern, tech-filled cabin featuring either an 8.0-inch or 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The comprehensive Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 system includes advanced features like Pre-Collision System and Lane Tracing Assist, while options like the panoramic view monitor and digital key add extra convenience.
Why choose car leasing?
Car leasing lets you drive a new Toyota Prius for fixed monthly payments, typically lower than other finance options since you're only paying for the depreciation during your lease term. You can choose lease lengths between 2-4 years, and at the end, simply hand the car back and move into another new model. There's no worry about depreciation or selling the car on.
Business users can take advantage of additional tax benefits when leasing a Toyota Prius through business contract hire (BCH). VAT-registered businesses can reclaim up to 50% of the VAT on payments for mixed-use vehicles, or 100% for exclusive business use. Used Prius models are also available to lease through Hippo, offering even more affordable monthly payments.
Who does a Toyota Prius lease suit?
The Prius is perfect for drivers seeking maximum efficiency without compromising on style or performance. Its exceptional fuel economy and low emissions make it ideal for both urban commuting and longer journeys. The spacious interior and comprehensive safety features suit families, while ultra-low running costs and premium technology appeal to business users.
If you like Toyota's hybrid range but need something larger, consider the RAV4 with its SUV practicality. For something more compact, the Yaris offers similar hybrid efficiency in a smaller package.
Looking at alternatives from other manufacturers? The Ioniq offers comparable efficiency with modern styling, while the Civic provides engaging handling with hybrid power. The Golf brings German refinement to the competitive field.
