Packed with smart fuel-saving technologies, it's amazing how far a Toyota can take you.
Here we take a look at eight incredible journeys that you can take on just one tank of fuel. And further afield, we've even done a monster journey to the Arctic Circle by the Prius - OK, we'll admit, we did refuel for that one!
Paris to Capbreton
AYGO: 469 miles
France - it may be twice as big as the UK, but it's easy to carve a chunk out of this country's renowned motorway network on just one tank of fuel.
Berlin to Venice
Prius: 700 miles
You may need to leave your car behind when you finally make it to Venice, but it's worth it for the drive alone. That gondola has your name on it...
Cannes to Rome
Verso-S: 489 miles
A quick dash along the Mediterranean coast, followed by a memorable tour ending in the Italian capital. This is a drive to really savour.
Amsterdam to Aalborg
RAV4: 560 miles
Leave the beaten track behind with this trip from thriving Amsterdam to the waterside city of Aalborg in northern Denmark.
Milan to Barcelona
Yaris: 613 miles
Two super-cool cities that just ooze style, separated by just over 600 miles of leisurely driving in the equally stylish Yaris.
Munich to Malmo
Verso: 631 miles
Layer after layer of history make the Bavarian capital an unmissable sight. But for the ultimate contrast, make for the windswept Swedish coast, accessible via the Øresund bridge.
Calais to Prague
Auris Hybrid: 723 miles
From the land of modern hypermarkets and ferry terminals to the heart of medieval Europe? It's easy in the ultra-efficient Auris Hybrid.
Grimsby to Galway
iQ: 440 miles
Fill up on the north-east coast, then just keep driving west into Ireland. Warning – you will need a ferry over the Irish Sea.
Oslo to Tromso
Prius: 1,000 miles
The big drive to the Arctic Circle is tough enough in summertime. But for just that extra bit of a challenge, we decided to hit the road in December. Here's how we got on...
Paris to Capbreton
AYGO: 469 miles
THE JOURNEY: We all know Paris – cafes, Michelin-starred restaurants and boulevards just made for strolling. But much less well known is Capbreton on the Atlantic coast. And it's just a day's drive away by AYGO.
THE CAR: The French capital is a driver's nightmare, but the agile, nippy AYGO could have been made for this busy environment. Hit the motorway and you'll be delighted by its extraordinary fuel economy too.

Berlin to Venice
Prius: 700 miles
THE JOURNEY: Experience a cultural overload in ultra-modern Berlin, then make the dash to ancient, unique Venice for a weekend of relaxation and endless leisurely strolls.
THE CAR: Now in its third generation, hybrid technology truly comes of age with the Toyota Prius. 72.4mpg* means you'll squeeze the most out of every drop of fuel, and emissions are low, too. *15-inch wheels.

Cannes to Rome
Verso-S: 489 miles
THE JOURNEY: The fact that Cannes is twinned with the swanky neighbourhood of Kensington and Chelsea in London says it all, so remember to take that credit card with you.
THE CAR: Combining space, nimble handling and great fuel economy, the new Verso-S is the perfect antidote to all that overblown – and often over-priced – Mediterranean glitz.

Amsterdam to Allberg
RAV4: 560 miles
THE JOURNEY: After a leisurely ride along Amsterdam's byways, throw the bike in the back of your RAV4 and make for the even more laid-back city of Aalborg in northern Denmark.
THE CAR: Thought cars like this performed badly on fuel economy? Think again: with up to 47.1mpg (combined) the RAV4 will get you there in style AND save you money along the way.

Milan to Barcelona
Yaris: 613 miles
THE JOURNEY: Leaving elegant Milan may be tough, but coastal stop-offs in Nice, Cannes, Montpellier and finally Barcelona will make it that little bit easier.
THE CAR: A true all-rounder, the Yaris is nimble in the city and sure-footed out on the open road. What's more, with up to 67.3mpg fuel economy, it can save you a whole lot of money.

Munich to Malmo
Verso: 631 miles
THE JOURNEY: This may be a 631-mile epic, but we're pretty sure it's the five miles of this incredible bridge that you'll remember best, as you soar between Denmark and Sweden.
THE CAR: With seven seats and masses of versatility, the Verso is your perfect partner for a trip like this, combining fuel economy, enjoyable performance and endless practicality.

Calais to Prague
Auris Hybrid: 723 miles
THE JOURNEY: Low-priced airfares mean that Prague is now one of the UK's favourite weekend getaways. Now, thanks to Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive, you can get there by car using just one tank of fuel.
THE CAR: The figures speak for themselves with this game-changing hybrid hatchback: 74.3mpg* makes it a real fuel-miser, while emissions are as low as 89g/km. Long drives with few fuel stops beckon. *15-inch wheel model.

Grimsby to Galway
iQ: 440 miles
THE JOURNEY: From the extreme east of England to the extreme west of Ireland, this is an odyssey you won't forget. High-points along the way include buzzing Manchester and beautiful Dublin.
THE CAR: 440 miles from a highly compact 32-litre tank? It's another stunning achievement from Toyota's acclaimed city car. And at just three metres long, parking's a cinch on that ferry.

Low temperature durability
Snowfalls, snowstorms and blizzards in our testing centres make sure that our cars can resist cold temperatures.
High temperature durability
We recreate the highest temperatures to test our vehicles cooling system functions and the engine's performance on steep grades, in heavy traffic and at high speeds.
Rough test durability
Our cars are tested on the steepest of slopes and the roughest of roads to ensure that you experience a comfortable and safe journey on different road surfaces.
Flooded road driving
By recreating different types of floods and varying water depth and car speed we can test the amount of water and mud that finds its way into the vehicle to ensure performance it not affected.
Collisions
To minimise impact from collisions and danger to drivers and passengers we perform over 1,500 crash tests every year with Toyota vehicles and analyse collisions to the 1,000th of a second.
