This year’s Paris motor show, taking place from 2-17 October, will host the world premiere of the Verso-S, an all-new Toyota that will launch in the UK early next year…

Auris HSD might be the new hybrid about town, but Prius is never out of the spotlight for long. As well as starring in its own TV show and setting sales records, the original full-hybrid Toyota has now been proclaimed as ‘era-defining’ by Which?, Europe’s largest consumer organisation.

Hot on the heels of last week’s success at the ETA Green Car Awards, Toyota has picked up two awards for its fuel-efficient engines. The 2010 International Engine of the Year jury has named Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain as the ‘Green Engine of the Year’, while the 1.0-litre VVT-i engine found in Aygo, iQ and Yaris has won ‘Sub-1.0 Litre Engine of the Year’ for the fourth year in a row.

It’s a sign of the innovative iQ’s success that, two years on from launch, it’s been named overall winner at the Green Car Awards 2010. On the way to winning the main prize, Toyota’s smallest car also claimed first place in the city car category, while the Yaris D-4D took top honours in the supermini class.

We’re thrilled to announce that Prius has won the WhatGreenCar Car of the Year Award USA 2010.

This weekend,  AYGO and iQ, the little brothers of the Toyota range, will take centre stage at T4’s Stars of 2009 event.
