Toyota Sai Revealed

The Toyota Sai Hybrid - a Toyota-ised Lexus HS 250h When we reported on the Sai’s launch schedule we did apologise that we didn’t have more information . All we knew was that it would be a Toyota hybrid based on the Lexus HS 250h and launch on the 20th. And remarkably, that just about covers it even though Toyota has unveiled the Sai.

CAP call on Renault to include battery in Zoe price – when it would cost £25k

CAP has called on Renault to include the battery cost in the list price of the Renault Zoe EV, otherwise it won’t be able to set residual values. We reported recently on the price of the Renault Zoe EV – which starts at £18k – and were surprised to find that Renault weren’t including battery costs in the purchase price but charging and extra £70-93 a month for leasing them. That leads to a completely misleading headline price for the Zoe and, as used car price experts CAP say, is akin to Ford removing the engine costs from their cars to reduce list price.
