Why You Should Buy an EV from New Town Toyota

As electric vehicles (EVs) become more mainstream in Australia, choosing the right dealership is just as important as choosing the right car. At New Town Toyota, we’ve proudly been serving Perth drivers for over 30 years—and we’re leading the charge into the electric future with the same commitment to service, trust, and long-term value that has defined our name.

Here’s why buying an EV from New Town Toyota just makes sense:

A Local Dealership You Can Trust

When you're making the shift to an EV, trust matters. As a family-owned Toyota dealership in East Victoria Park, New Town Toyota has been looking after Perth drivers for generations. We pride ourselves on honest advice, upfront pricing, and long-term support—not just a one-time sale.

From your first test drive to your first service, we’re with you for the road ahead.

EV Expertise You Can Count On

Whether you're considering a fully electric Toyota like the bZ4X or a hybrid for city driving, our team is here to guide you. We take the time to understand your lifestyle, your driving habits, and what matters most—whether that’s fuel efficiency, lower running costs, or cutting-edge technology.

Our team knows the local charging network, government EV incentives in WA, and practical solutions for renters, apartment dwellers, and long-distance drivers.

Toyota: Australia’s Most Trusted Car Brand

When you choose Toyota, you’re backed by the brand voted most trusted in Australia year after year. It’s not just the reliability of the car—it’s the nationwide support, safety technology, and strong resale value that give you real peace of mind.

Combine that with our local dealership service, and you’re in expert hands from day one.

Flexible Finance, Transparent Value

EVs are an investment in your future—and we’re here to make the switch affordable and stress-free. Through Toyota Access, you can secure a Guaranteed Future Value* for your electric vehicle, giving you options at the end of your loan term. It’s flexible, secure, and tailored to you.

We also offer novated leasing, business EV packages, and can help compare long-term running costs between hybrid, petrol, and electric models.

And with more charging stations popping up across WA, it’s never been easier to go electric.
