Goodbye Toyota/ Lexus?
Discussion
After a succession of their products from 2003 to 2013 (Auris Hybrid - IS300H - ES300H), and circa 150K faultless miles in their hybrids, I just cannot see that they will have anything close to market by the time the lease for the ES is up next March.
As a Business user, I would be crackers to buy anything other than a full EV with a 250 mile range. The difference in take home pay would be circa £15K over 3 years.
The Toyota HSD system is very clever technology, but why they have not responded quicker to the changing market only they will know.
I really like the brand, dealers etc but they seem to no longer have the products for me.
If I can get one, I will be going for a Hyundai EV product (5 or Genesis EV).

A £15k BIK saving over 3 years is huge, but even without this, savings on fuel costs will also be significant. To me, if an EV can give you a circa 250 mile range, for a daily driver, I cannot really see any downsides to an EV as I can charge off road at home.
The UX 300e all feels a little last gen to me although I have driven the hybrid version a few times and it is a nice car. The EV version even has a larger boot.
