Used Toyota Prius for sale near Colchester

The Toyota Prius was the first mass produced hybrid vehicle, and as such, has become the most recognisable hybrid vehicle there is, and something of a virtue-signalling fashion accessory as a result. It was introduced into the UK market in 2000, and was replaced by the Mk2 in 2004. What was at the time thought to be the last version of the Prius to be offered in the UK was the Mk4, which was on sale between 2015 and 2022. Toyota had built a Mk5 model, but decided not to bring it to the UK since its line-up was already mostly hybrid-powered. However, Toyota UK had a change of heart and decided it would sell the Mk5 Prius from 2024 onwards, albeit only as a plug-in hybrid model.
