Federal MPs will be driven around in luxury BMWs and hybrid Toyotas in 2020 in a move set to cost taxpayers $100,000 less every year.

The government’s Comcar fleet of Holden Caprice sedans is being replaced with Toyota Camry Hybrid and BMW 6 series GT sedans, saving $100,000 a year in fuel and maintenance costs, it was announced on Friday.

Finance Minister Mathias Corrmann says the new cars will be more environmentally friendly, with the BMWs more fuel efficient, and the Toyota sedans running on a mix of electricity and E10 petrol.

Comcars are used to ferry around federal MPs as well as governmental guests.

Most of the new vehicles are due to hit the road by mid-2020.
