Toyota Yaris - a budget car with a new design

For those who are in love with Japanese cars, 2012 was spectacular: the Toyota Yaris in a three-door version was presented to numerous fans. This model was developed for the Australian and Asian markets, preferring small vehicles. The five-door hatchback put up on the podium a day later, according to the company's representatives, is focused on European roads and American highways, although the auto concern does not rule out the possibility of concluding agreements with the island powers.

The appearance of Toyota Yaris 2012 on aggressiveness claims little. Call it a sports option, the language does not turn. On the barn, it also does not look like, although the dimensions of the new car have become different: 50 mm more wheelbase was designed, for passengers at the rear, the free space has significantly increased. If you add a row of seats, then the size of the trunk will reach 770 liters. Ergonomics is also excellent: the seats can be adjusted in height, the steering wheel - horizontally. But with the salon will have to tinker: the producers have finished it only with rigid plastic.

Despite the fact that the Toyota Yaris is small in size, its engine, which reaches almost a hundred horsepower, will start well. And this despite the fact that the four-speed gearbox looks prehistoric. But the gasoline consumption per 100 km along city streets is only 7.9 liters, and along the road - 6.2.

For the European market Toyota Yaris is produced with a stereo system, which includes radio. Six speakers create an excellent sound, without losing its power even when operating the power windows.

Air conditioning, however, have to buy and install at your own expense, but the steering wheel is already in the skin, there is Bluetooth and a rear-view camera.

It's a pity that the Toyota Yaris model is not sold by Russian dealers so actively. The Japanese concern expects to attract potential buyers a new generation of hatchback. It will cost the future owner a little more expensive, as the exterior of the vehicle's front end has changed. Now the car looks like a fox with a pointed muzzle and narrow eyes-headlights.

Quite another option - Toyota Yaris Verso. It was introduced to Russians in 1999. To the Moscow motor show, this version appealed, as the car of this class turned out to be high, square and did not look like a domestic car, in which it is comfortable to travel only to the Lilliputians.

In the Japanese car, it turned out to be the other way round: a spacious saloon that solves problems with an uncomfortable ride on passenger seats. The trunk is a miracle! If you fold the rear row of seats, then before the eyes of 1930 liters of free space. So the car won the sympathy of not one thousand car enthusiasts.

It is a pity that the new car could not become sporty: its speed (165 kilometers per hour) did not increase even the chip tuning, but by safety it bypassed its counterparts. Designers (in case of an accident) provided for 4 life-saving cushions, ABC and protective head restraints.

The price for this type of car is growing. This is due to the technical re-equipment of the vehicle and changes in design. And yet Toyota is called a budget car, despite the fact that it is quite modern: from the old brand remained the dashboard located behind the steering wheel, seat belts, the length of which can be changed, and the engine itself.
