@Toyota: Motorists Invited to Clean Up on New Car Costs with Toyota and Lexus Scrappage Schemes

Trading up to a brand new car is a big financial step, but Toyota and Lexus are making it easier for owners of older vehicles to snap up a showroom-fresh model, offering generous discounts through their vehicle scrappage schemes.

Savings of up to £4,000 are available this summer, covering most models from both brands. For Toyota, the choice extends from the Aygo city car through to the all-terrain Land Cruiser SUV and Hilux pick-up.

The Lexus line-up includes the popular CT hatchback, ES saloon and the UX, NX and RX top-selling SUVs.

Customers have been enthusiastic in taking the opportunities offered by successive scrappage schemes, which have yielded almost 18,000 new Toyota and Lexus vehicles sales so far. This sees older, more polluting cars replaced with cleaner more efficient models, in particular Toyota and Lexus’s market-leading self-charging hybrids. The new cars also feature more advanced safety systems and typically contain more parts that can be recycled or re-used.

The scrappage savings cannot be combined with any other special offer, but customers can access the same APR rates on Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreements. These currently include zero per cent APR for certain Aygo, Yaris, Corolla, C-HR, RAV4 and GR Supra models.

For Lexus, even before the scrappage saving, the self-charging hybrid CT range is available from just £26,275, with 2.9 per cent APR.

These are the qualifying Toyota model ranges in the scrappage scheme, with the saving offered on the recommended retail on-the-road price (including VAT). Some specific model variants and forthcoming new models, including the new Yaris and GR Yaris, are not eligible.

Aygo £2,000
Yaris (petrol) £2,500
Yaris (hybrid) £1,500
