All of Toyota's big ideas in one small car. The revolutionary Toyota Yaris combines the comfort and clever features you might find in a large car with the chic city style, maneuverability, and fuel economy of a small car. Its no surprise that it has already been tagged ‘the Clever Car’.
The 1.3 and 1.5 litre twin-cam multi-valve engines incorporate many clever performance ideas. Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) achieves the optimum balance of crisp acceleration with economy and surprisingly low emissions. The optional Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission (ECT) manages the power more cleverly, for fewer gear shifts uphill and downhill. Electric Power Steering (EPS) is cleverly engineered for a tight turning circle and easy parking, yet more road feel at high speeds.
On the outside, Yaris Hatch reflects the latest European styling trends, having been designed at Toyota's ED2 studio in Nice on the French Riveria. Clean, powerful bodylines also cut cleanly through the air and this means more economy and performance thanks to less wind resistance. For those who really want to make a statement - the YRX comes standard with a sports body kit that will really set you apart from the crowd.
You’re cramming more into your life, so Yaris Hatch is packed with more clever ideas. It has up to 25 storage compartments, while power windows, remote central locking and power mirrors are standard. The 60:40 split rear seat accommodates long objects and tall passengers. It slides forward and back for extra legroom or folds flat for extra luggage room, all with a simple tilt and slide action. More upportive seating, plus a reinforced body structure which reduces noise, provide more comfort with less fatigue.
It may be small, but Toyota engineers have cleverly packed Yaris Hatch with big car safety features. Standard is an intelligent braking package called ‘Active Braking with intelligence’ (AB-i). This clever braking system includes technologies that go beyond the benefits of standard ABS to ensure that the Yaris stops as quickly and safely as possible during an emergency situation. Also standard are two front SRS airbags, while the Enhanced Safety Package option provides an additional 5 airbags including a driver’s knee airbag - an Australian first for Toyota. The rigid Safe-T-Cell and extensive crash testing have resulted in superior omni-directional crash protection capability.
