Toyota Introduces Certified Used
Hybrid Program

Toyota Prius Hybrid
TORRANCE, Calif. - In an effort to
attract new buyers to the hybrid market, Toyota launched the
all-new Toyota Certified Used Hybrid (TCUH) program, an
extension of the Toyota Certified Used Vehicles (TCUV) brand
which provides added inspection and warranty coverage on
certified used Toyota hybrids.
"The program is a great way to
increase awareness of certified used hybrid vehicles," said TCUV
Marketing Manager, Steve Gallagher. "As more hybrids enter the
used vehicle marketplace, Toyota Certified Hybrids offer
high-quality options to customers interested in purchasing these
fuel-efficient vehicles."
As the industry's first dedicated
certified pre-owned program for hybrid vehicles, TCUH was
designed to drive sales of certified used hybrids while
expanding Toyota's customer base for these types of vehicles.

Customers benefit from additional
inspection and warranty coverage on Toyota hybrids within the
program. Each vehicle comes with the three-month/3,000-mile
comprehensive warranty, seven-year/100,000-mile limited
powertrain warranty and roadside assistance plan offered on
traditional TCUV models. The program also brings added awareness
to a pre-existing eight-year/100,000-mile factory hybrid battery
warranty. |
The TCUH quality insurance
inspection also includes 14 additional inspection points beyond
the current TCUV 160-point quality assurance inspection. This
expanded 174-point Toyota Certified Hybrid inspection includes
examination of key hybrid components, such as the hybrid
transaxle, control modules and battery.

The Toyota Certified program combines the
confidence of purchasing a new vehicle with the value of a used vehicle
to provide a "like new" ownership experience. Toyota certified used
vehicles offer consumers a smart alternative to traditional used car
options and give them the peace of mind they seek when purchasing a used
vehicle.
