Finished in eye-catching Scarlet Flare, this 71-plate self-charging hybrid estate proves that practical cars don?t have to look like they?ve given up on life. It?s bright, confident and ready to haul people, luggage, shopping, hobbies and the occasional impulse buy?without breaking a sweat. Under the bonnet sits a clever 1.8 self-charging hybrid system that quietly goes about its business. No plugging in, no cables, no range anxiety and definitely no awkward chats with neighbours about extension leads. It charges itself as you drive, seamlessly switching between petrol and electric power to keep things smooth, efficient and pleasingly stress-free. Sensible? Yes. Dull? Not even slightly. Inside, the Design specification strikes a brilliant balance between comfort and technology. The headline feature here is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, meaning your phone integrates beautifully with the car. Navigation, music, podcasts and calls are all right where you want them, without juggling devices or shouting at your dashboard. Your playlists will feel right at home. The extended boot space makes this an absolute hero for real life. Whether it?s family duties, long trips, dogs, bikes or that flat-pack furniture you definitely measured correctly, there?s room for it all?and then some. This example is Toyota Approved, comes with a full Toyota service history, and benefits from a service-activated warranty running until October 2031. That?s years of peace of mind quietly following you around, which is always nice. Being sold by Vertu, you can expect a professional, transparent and refreshingly straightforward buying experience, with none of the usual faff. If you?re after a hybrid that?s efficient, practical and still manages to raise a smile every time you see it, this Scarlet Flare estate delivers. It?s proof that being sensible doesn?t mean being boring?and that space, style and smart tech can all get along very nicely indeed.
