The Toyota Prius is a green car, utilising hybrid technology for an energy efficient and low pollution ride. At the forefront of future proof technology, the Prius comes packaged with all the modern apps and enhancements you’d expect from a brand new Toyota. Intelligent Parking Assist, or IPA, helps you reverse park or parallel park with a handy guidance system. The video above describes the process.
As you approach the parking space press the IPA button, located just under the power button on the instrument panel, and select parallel parking. The screen will give you some brief instructions.
Position your Toyota Prius as if you were about to manually parallel park, remembering to stay within three feet of the vehicle on the right side. Slowly drive past the space until you hear a beep and follow the onscreen instructions. Adjust the touch screen panel to flag up the corner of the closest obstacle and click okay. Release the steering wheel but maintain pressure on the brake – you still need to stop the car. The IPA will steer the car into position and then you’re parked.
To select reverse parking click the IPA button twice. As you approach the space you need to reverse into, follow the instructions on screen. When you hear a beep pull the steering wheel away from the parking space and come to a stop. Centre the wheel and then shift into reverse. Check the touch screen to verify the location and then when you’re ready click on okay. Release the steering wheel while maintaining pressure on the brake. As stated before – you need to stop the car and be wary of any obstacles.

Running costs. We don’t just mean petrol either, although that’s the biggest worry of most drivers at the moment.

A very efficient and reliable 89bhp 1.4-litre diesel engine made a third option, with a hybrid engine launching at a later date.
Although it hides it well, the new Toyota Yaris is 100mm longer than the previous Yaris model, meaning there’s more space inside. The boot is deeper because of this and the wheelbase is longer. While it sounds like a small amount, it makes a difference when you’re inside. The headlights are angled to create an attractive aesthetic and when paired with the double grille and chrome trim, you’ll have a car that looks as good on the road as it does from the front seat.
