Toyota Yaris 1.4 D-4D

The new Toyota Yaris is now even more comprehensive care for its passengers: Reversing camera as standard, Internet-capable, more comfortable, more agile and more spacious. Incidentally, there is no further assistance other than ESP systems in the Toyota Yaris.

The 1.4-liter common-rail mini behaves accordingly. It delivers 205 Nm from 1,800 rpm. It took around 6 liter diesel to reach 100 km.

The interior was drastically changed. That central-mounted digital speedometer is gone, and the instrument cluster – repositioned right in front of the driver – employs large, clearly-marked analogue dials. The heating and ventilation controls have been relocated higher up the dashboard to improve visibility and bring them closer to the driver’s reach, and the dash and door plastics now feature an attractive, heavily-grained texture. The front seat frames are redesigned to give more upper body support, and a 50mm stretch in wheelbase increases rear occupant knee room by 35mm. The new Yaris’ roof height has been dropped some 20mm, but it has compromised neither front nor rear headroom. A 100mm increase in overall length also gives the new Yaris a 20mm longer boot area, expanding cargo capacity to 286 litres.
