All new Toyota Yaris to launch this May. |
Toyota Yaris was first spotted at Auto Expo 2018 held in
Greater Noida. Looking at Yaris one can confidently say with Yaris Toyota is
aiming to target upper echelons of C-segment like Honda City, Volkswagen Vento
and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. Toyota is known for its premium cars like Fortuner,
Land Cruiser, Innova and Corolla but certainly in the mid-range segment Toyota
has not performed well as cars like Toyota Etios Liva, Etios cross were a total
failure. This time Toyota is ready to show its presence in the market with
Yaris. Dealers have started booking for
the upcoming compact sedan for a taken amount of 50,000 rupees.
The compact sedan looks like a scaled version of Corolla
Altis and carries Toyota’s global design language. So, in this article I will
be briefing you with each and everything you need to know about Yaris. This
article will be divided into 3 segments engine,
looks and features. So, without wasting more “Let’s Talk About Tech”.
1.
Engine
All new Toyota Yaris comes with a 1.5-liter
dual VVT-i petrol engine which produces 108 PS of max power and a peak torque
of 140NM and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox or a 7-speed CVT auto with paddle
shifters. There are some speculations that Yaris will be available in 2 variants
i.e. VX and V and another variant might be added in future. This engine also
comes in present Toyota Etios models. Whereas its competitor Honda City tried
and tested petrol variant produces 117 PS of max power and a peak torque of
145NM. So, here City totally beats Yaris.
2. Looks
By looking at Yaris anybody would recognize
that it carries Japanese genes. Stronger shoulder line which has a forward lean
stance. When you look at the pre-face lifts it reminds of Corolla Altis. Side
profile of Yaris has been made to look sporty and that is why it comes with
sports 15-inch alloy wheels. Yaris also gets flared wheel arches and a strong
baseline which in turn works with the flared wheel arcs to give the sedan sport
credentials. Yaris gets a massive rear light package that is both wrapped around
and has LED inserts.
The best in class interior of Toyota Yaris. |
When you look at the interior you will notice
is similar to 2014 Corolla both in terms of design and features. Two tone style
with beige and black being the main colour. Dashboard plastic is fashioned in
silver to contrast the beige and silver combination. It has a 7-inch infotainment
system which gesture control system for audios and in-built navigation system.
Power adjustable driver seats. Roof mounted air recirculation vent with a LED
head light for rear passengers.

Personal
Reviews
Toyota is one the biggest player in automobile
industry and with Yaris they have decided to rule over C-segment. Toyotas
earlier cars like Fortuner, Innova, Corolla are ruling their own segments and
are pretty well established in market and this gives Yaris a plus point. But
when we look on other side of the page there is Honda City which itself is a brand
so if Toyota wants to win this game they will have to launch Yaris at price
less than Honda City whose price ranges from 9.68 lakhs to 15.68 lakhs.
