The small car with four-cylinder petrol engine for those who want to get along without hybrid drive. The days when small cars were rolling waivers - thin-walled, undemanding and poorly equipped - are finally over. And the Toyota Yaris is a good example of what cars of the four-meter class can do today .
So it can be warmly acclaimed that the so-called Toyota Safety Sense package is included in the Yaris - from the basic configuration Young - free of charge on board, in the collision warning, pre-crash brake assist, lane change warning and automatic high beam system are included. This is not without significance, because the Far East Mini in this configuration then still very cheap € 10,990, - costs and you even get even Bluetooth hands-free system, air conditioning, CD radio USB port and central locking with remote control ,
Who decides - as in the present case the Motor-KURIER - for the upscale style equipment for € 16.990, -, in addition to 16-inch aluminum, automatic climate control, LED daytime running lights and taillights, 7-inch touch screen, rear view camera , electrically adjustable, hinged and heated side mirrors, height-adjustable driver's seat and cruise control spoiled.

However, it should not be forgotten that even Toyota financial people can not conjure up what manifests itself in - let's say - cost-optimized material structure of the cockpit landscape.
In between: Toyota delivers a car that has grown incredibly mature compared to its predecessor, bringing with it all the amenities that were not standard in this class until now.

No more diesel
It is also noteworthy that Toyota renounced completely against the downsizing trend on small-volume, supercharged three-cylinder - and instead of a 1.5-liter four-cylinder screwed with conventional fuel injection under the crisp-short hood.
To denounce the four-cylinder as a weak point in the otherwise very well-made Toyota package would be unfair and greatly exaggerated - the 1500s but just can not really inspire: 111 hp hear at a weight of just over 1000 kilos auspiciously turn out to be but in driving practice as moderately spirited.
Since it avenge that the engine made entirely of aluminum has to manage without turbocharger. If you want to make good progress, you often have to change the gear ratios due to the thin torque of 136 Newton meters at 4400 rpm, which, however, does not cause any great effort because of the smooth-running gearbox.
