At the front, the new Toyota Yaris hatchback, thanks to a modified radiator grille and front bumper, resembles the compact MPV Toyota Verso-S, shown at the Paris Motor Show.
Data on the new generation of the compact Toyota Yaris have so far been extremely scarce. Spies caught a camouflaged prototype on road tests, and then scans of a brochure with its image floated to the Web. Finally, Toyota has released official photos of the third generation of the Toyota Yaris hatchback and technical information about it.
The third generation model looks more aggressive than its predecessor. A dynamic silhouette, slanted headlights, a new front bumper and a radiator grill - all this, according to the developers, shou Toyota Yaris in Ethiopia ld expand the target audience of the hatchback. If before the buyers of Yaris were mainly women, now, thanks to the more sporty appearance of the car, the company hopes that representatives of the strong half of humanity will show a keen interest in it.
The freshly baked Yaris has a bolder silhouette. So, the car became lower by 20 mm (now its height is equal to 1500 mm). In addition, the hatchback has dropped 30 kg and weighs exactly a ton.
Yaris also got bigger. It is 100 mm longer than the second generation car. In addition, its wheelbase has been increased by 50 mm. The width is the same - 1695 mm. The novelty has three gasoline engines: a liter with 69 hp, a 94-horsepower with a volume of 1.3 liters and the most powerful one and a half liter, which produces 108 hp, but it is not yet known whether the latter will be available in Europe. At the buyer's choice - a five-speed "mechanics" or a variator.
Moving away from the former symmetry, Toyota made the interior of the new hatchback more mature and solid. The front panel, "hovering" above the knees of the driver and passenger, devoid of the center console, visually added free space to the interior of the car.
The new hatchback will be assembled at the same plant in the French town of Valenciennes as the current one. The cars will arrive at dealerships in Japan in the near future, but the Europeans will have to wait until the middle of next summer. In addition, in 2012, Toyota plans to bring diesel modifications of the hatchback to the market.
The first generation of the Toyota Yaris, known in several markets as the Vitz or Echo, took over in 1999. The car was sold in the form of a three- and five-door hatchback, as well as a compact van (Yaris Verso). Its length was 3734 mm, the wheelbase was 2370. During the entire production period, a lot of gasoline engines (all with VVT-i variable valve timing technology) have been under the hood of the model: from a liter 68-strong "four" to a 1.5 turbo engine, which was issued for modifications Yaris T-Sport 150 "horses". There was also a diesel engine - with a volume of 1.4 liters and a capacity of 75 hp. The "first" Yaris, which won the European Car 2000 competition, was produced at three factories - in Japan, France and China. The release of the model was completed in 2005.
In 2005, a completely new Yaris was born. The designers of the European branch of ED2 were responsible for the appearance of the car. She had a new body (3825 mm in length) and a new engine range. To the old, but modernized engines (1.0, 1.3, 1.5) were added hitherto unseen on the Yaris "fours" with a volume of 1.33, 1.60 and 1.80 liters. In the list of gearboxes one could find a five-speed "mechanics", a four-band "automatic" and a "robot" with five gears. By the way, under the name Yaris, they stopped selling compact MPVs, but a sedan, which also bore the name Belta, was added to the lineup. In general, Yaris (and its analogue Vitz) has become almost a global model of Toyota: the car was produced in Japan, France, Thailand, China, Taiwan and even Indonesia. In Russia, Yaris was not produced and, perhaps, this is partly why it was sold sluggishly here: in 2008 and 2009, 7803 Yaris were bought on our market. Moreover, in 2010, sales of the hatchback stopped altogether: high prices (from 705 thousand) finally killed Russians' interest in it.
