The Toyota Yaris: The elegant and fun hatch

The Toyota Yaris: The elegant and fun hatch

With the recent buzz surrounding the impending arrival of the much-anticipated Toyota performance vehicle, the GR Yaris, Filipino speed lovers will once more rediscover the thrill and excitement of pocket rockets in hatchback form.

But those who are looking for a more realistic, pragmatic, yet well-engineered ride, the more "domesticated" Yaris (without the GR prefix) is available — and, we believe it also delivers on excitement.

 

Toyota Yaris

Aside from having a retail price that is lower than the GR Yaris by P1,677,000 for the base variant (Toyota Yaris 1.3 E CVT), the new Yaris also offers stylish and distinct features for a stylishly confident means of transportation. 

The first generation of the Toyota Yaris was first launched in 1999 and during this particular time, it was available in both hatchback and sedan forms.

Moreover, the Yaris was known by other names before such as Echo, Platz, and Vitz in specific markets. This was before the Japanese automaker standardized the nameplate of the Yaris for the international market with the debut of the second-generation Yaris in 2005.

The current Yaris boasts of a fashionable and signature appearance as well as up-to-date exterior features that are designed to suit anyone’s driving style.

When it comes to its cabin, the new Yaris features new interior trims and synthetic leather seats engineered for supreme comfort. Other features include Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility for a more convenient and personalized driving experience.
