Toyota Yaris 2018: these are the new features of the Japanese compact

The compact segment has been one of the most successful since it hit the market. These are vehicles that offer great versatility and a value for money that is hard to beat. This is reflected in the way they handle both the city and the road without any problems. However, within each segment some models stand out over others, and this is the case of the Toyota Yaris. The small Japanese compact is being renewed for 2018, and these are its new features.

The current Toyota Yaris is the third generation, which enjoys great success, as its predecessors did. To continue the high sales volume of the Yaris, Toyota has decided to renew some elements to face the coming years. These new features can be seen both in its equipment and in certain aesthetic elements.

The exterior design offers slight improvements. It features front headlights full of LED lights, which give the Yaris a very attractive design. The rear follows the same patterns and has clean, sharp lines, very common in the brand’s vehicles. This gives the city car par excellence a certain sporty touch.

The new Yaris offers very attractive trim levels, which come with numerous extras. To improve this offer, Toyota has included some new features. All Yaris models with two-tone paint will get a new sound system and a shark-fin antenna, which gives the Japanese compact a smoother design. At the same time, it still offers a very appealing engine range that suits the type of car it is.

The engines available for the Toyota Yaris start with a modest 1.0 with 70 CV -which offers optimal performance for tackling urban environments- and go up to the 1.5 with 110 CV. On the other hand, the brand also offers a hybrid version of the Toyota Yaris, which is one of the best-selling engines in the compact. This is thanks to the brand’s long experience with hybrid vehicles and the very low consumption the Yaris offers.

Furthermore, the new Toyota Yaris not only boasts great equipment and performance, but also a very competitive price. The compact starts at 10,600 euros, a figure that places it in a very good position against its main German rivals.
