2012 Toyota Vitz / Yaris First Details Out
Toyota has released first details about the redesigned 2012 Vitz, that in Europe is known as Yaris. The redesigned Vitz features a more aerodynamic styling similar to the rest of the Toyota range. New Vitz is 3,885mm long and rides on a wheelbase that has been stretched by 50mm compared to its predecessor.
Even though Toyota did not reveal any interior photos, they say that upgrades include new improved seats, higher quality materials and premium options such as HDD navigation. Three petrol engines will be offered: a 68 hp 1.0-liter, a 93 hp 1.3-liter, and 107 hp 1.5-liter unit. The 1.3-liter unit features Dual VVT-i and stop/start technology which enables it to get a fuel economy rating of just 3.8 L/100km (62 mpg US). In standard the engines are mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), although a five-speed manual is also available.
