For a good three years, the Toyota Yaris in the German market and actually you can not complain to Toyota on the interest of customers and the sales of the compact cuddly small car. For this to remain in the future and because the competitors in the B segment should not remain inactive, an update must be forth.
Make-up and more?
The new Toyota Yaris
It shouldn't stop with fresh make-up and a face lift - many customers buy a Toyota because of its intrinsic values and so the Yaris not only had to go through the comprehensive facelift program at halftime, but was changed in more than 1.000 points . Additional welding points in the production of the passenger cell, additional insulation materials in the doors and modified chassis components are included in this 1.000 points list. The result is a stiffer, quieter and more comfortable Yaris - despite the same platform. Working on the details makes all the difference.
At Toyota, they value the cultural characteristics of different markets. This has been internalized and offers vehicles tailored to the needs of each market. For example, the new Yaris is being developed and produced in France.
With the facelift, the Yaris has gained in ride comfort and the steering was also tuned a little more direct. The Yaris can now move through the city more comfortably and with more comfort. Bad Frostaufbrüche be better laminated.
4 engines - 1 hybrid
It starts with the 1.0 liter three-cylinder with 69 hp, which is also known from the Toyota Aygo. With 95 Nm at 4.300 revolutions, the 12-valve engine is really just an entry-level engine. The next petrol engine has at least four pots and draws its 99 hp from a displacement of 1.33 liters. This 125 Nm four-cylinder is also a “good old friend”. On the diesel side, Toyota offers the 1.4 liter D-4D with 90 hp and 205 Nm. A good choice for frequent and frequent drivers. The engine, which is still classified as EU 5, is supposed to cope with everyday use (NEDC) with 3.8 liters per 100 kilometers. But Toyota has a different level of expertise and even in the Yaris small car, many Toyota customers choose hybrids.
The third petrol engine in the league is a 1.5 liter four-cylinder with variable valve timing and the Atkinson cycle to the partner of the 19.3 kW strong electric motor. The petrol engine brings 100 horsepower and 111 Nm of power. Together with the 169 Nm of the electric motor, the Yaris Hybrid becomes a whispering city car. Silently through the city? Thanks to the 6.5 Ah Hours large battery, the Yaris Hybrid manages to drive and glide through the city, even without a gas burner. However, Toyota speaks in the Yaris Hybrid is not a hybrid of purely electric drive. A class above, Toyota already offers the Plugin hybrids Prius on - will there soon be a plugin Yaris? So far one does not want to reveal that.
The standard consumption of the Yaris Hybrid is fascinating. With 3.3 liters on 100 kilometers, this is still under the frugal diesel engine. And with a CO² emission of 75 grams per kilometer, the Yaris Hybrid is one of the most economical and efficient small cars.
However, you can be confused by the sound of the hybrid. For people who have never driven with a continuously variable transmission, this technology brings a few new tones. Although the old disadvantages are more and more eliminated with each new generation, that the gasoline engine revs up and then maintains its speed while the car gets faster - remains unfamiliar to the ears of the Central European. Not bad. But unfamiliar. For the hybrid versions, Toyota does not use a simple CVT transmission as known from other models, but a planetary gear set called HSD. The effect is similar - a stepless translation, the technology behind it completely different.

[/one_third] [one_third last=last]Good to know:
A very extensive explanation, unfortunately only available in English, about the function of the electric motor and gasoline combination in the Yaris brings this video: HSD / E-CVT explained Although it is about the Prius (third generation), but the technical principle is still valid. Compared to the "normal" continuously variable transmission is the e-CVT Toyota but quite different.[/ one_third]
And the make-up?
Right. The make-up. The Yaris got the X-face with the already new Aygo was born. This creates a kind of family face for the Japanese city fleet. The nicest thing about the make-up of the new Yaris, however, is the fresher interior. With attention to detail, the usual good workmanship and fresh ideas - after this lifting, the Yaris is fit for the second half of its cycle.
That the Yaris as a hybrid is a specialty in the small car segment does not need to be mentioned again - right?
