auris hybrid

hi



need some advise I am thinking of buying 2012 toyota auris hybrid to replace my 9 year old 1.5dci nissan qashqai as i only do city driving and hardly ever go on motorway.Some of my friends have said that hybrid batteries only last 10 years and after that you need to replace them. I have checked prices with toyota and they have said batteries start from £1141.Can someone please advise this is true or not as i dont service my car with manufacturer instead buy the parts myself and give it to a mechanic who I have been using for years.

Not true. Toyota will warrant the battery for 15 years.

thanks for reply daveyjp but will i have to service the car with toyota everytime to to cover the warranty for 15 years or can i continue using my mechanic and the warranty will still be for 15 years

As far as I know, only Toyota dealers can carry out a Hybrid Health Check and this can extend the battery warranty to 11 years.

I drive an Auris Hybrid and as long as you get the hybrid checks done it will be fine.
