Toyota Yaris variants leaked ahead of launch

Yaris will be the only car in its segment to offer seven airbags as standard.

We all know that Toyota is all set to launch the Yaris sedan in India and the bookings have already started. But, now, just a few weeks ahead of its launch (April 18 expected), a document revealing the Yaris’ variants and features has been leaked. Here is what it reveals.

Engine

Toyota Yaris

The Yaris, as confirmed before, will only be available with a petrol engine. It will be a 1.5-litre engine that is expected to make 108PS of maximum power and 140Nm of peak torque. It will be available either with a 6-speed MT or a 7-speed CVT. As reported earlier, the CVT automatic will be offered right from the base ‘J’ variant till the top-spec ‘VX’ variant. However, only the top ‘VX’ variant will get paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.

Safety

At launch, the Yaris will be the only car in its segment to offer seven airbags as standard. Safety features like ABS with EBD (electronic brakeforce distribution) and BA (brake assist), ISOFIX child seat anchors and engine immobilizer will be available in all variants. The VX variant will also be equipped with front and rear parking sensors, parking camera, disc brakes on all wheels, vehicle stability control, hill-start assist control and tyre pressure monitoring system.
