Toyota Yaris

Launched in 2018, the Toyota Yaris takes on the likes of Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. It is the first executive sedan from the brand in the Indian market and offers a long list of features. The Toyota Yaris offers a number of segment-first features including roof-mounted AC vents, 60:40 split seats, front parking sensors, acoustic and vibration control glass, solar energy absorbing windshield with infrared cut off, infotainment system with air gesture and disc brakes in the rear. The Yaris is only available with a petrol engine option and it is available in 7 trim levels. Even the base version of the Yaris offers CVT as an optional unit which by the way, also get paddle shifters. The Yaris also offers as many as 7 airbags, which is a big step in the Indian market. Further safety aids include ABS with EBD, brake assist, ISOFIX. The higher-end versions also get tyre pressure warning, hill-start assist and front parking sensors. The car comes powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine that develops a maximum of 106 Bhp and peak torque of 140 Nm which offers decent performance but good economy. The CVT is a boon for city runs and this combined with a light
steering and excellent visibility make the Yaris a very good urban car. How we wish it offered better rear space though.
