The facelifted Toyota Yaris has gone on sale for upwards of £10,995 ahead of hitting showrooms this August. Prices rise to £17,695 for the range-topping Yaris Excel Hybrid. There’s new specification levels, improved tech and more equipment options, all of which is designed to expand the Yaris supermini’s appeal “to a more diverse customer base” according to Toyota.
It is available in three or five-door body styles with Toyota engine line-up and the Yaris range kicks off with Active and Icon trims. Standard features across the Yaris range include electric front windows, a six-speaker sound system including USB and AUX connectivity, and entry-level Active spec also adds Vehicle Stability Control, tyre pressure monitors and traction control.
The mid-range Icon adds a leather trim multifunction steering wheel, air-conditioning and the latest Toyota Touch 2 infotainment system. This next-gen touch screen multimedia tech features a new, higher resolution seven-inch display and comes with Bluetooth, a rear view camera, vehicle information and in-car management controls.
There is a DAB radio that can automatically switch to FM reception when necessary is also included in this, too and Toyota Touch 2 is also MirrorLink-ready, allowing users to connect compatible smartphones for use via the car’s interactive display.
The Design Pack, available only with Icon variants, adds LED daytime running lights, rear light clusters and privacy glass, while Style (for Icon and Sport) fits aluminium scuff and bumper protection plates, as well as chrome detailing.
Appearance is limited to Excel spec, and introduces a rear spoiler, privacy glass, and the panoramic roof, while the similarly exclusive Smart Pack offers Smart Entry, a start/stop button and auto-folding wing mirrors. The new Toyota Yaris is available in ten exterior colours, including new Island Blue metallic and, for hybrids only, Avantgarde Bronze.
