This model has been angled more towards the younger generation and even comes complete with rear parking sensors as standard, metallic paint as an option, electric front mirrors, electric front windows and alloy wheels.
The new Yaris is much better looking than its predecessor and its previously stocky image has been replaced with angular lights and tight lines. Although you couldn’t call the Yaris striking, it certainly now appears to be subtly attractive.
The full-length panoramic glass roof of the top-end T Spirit floods the vehicles with light, which is a nice addition on sunny days.
The Toyota Yaris T Spirit 1.33 VVT-i Multidrive S 5dr offers a roomy interior. Toyota have certainly done their best to create as much space as possible. As well as being able to comfortably fit both front and rear passengers inside; there is also a good amount of headroom.
On top of this, the boot also comes with a generous amount of space which makes it a little easier to pack both the kids and the shopping inside. The new Yaris is 100mm longer than the previous model.
The Yaris has always been a reliable model and the Toyota Yaris T Spirit 1.33 VVT-i Multidrive S 5dr should be no different and is supplied with a five year/100,000 mile warranty. With an overall 5 star Euro NCAP rating, the Yaris should also be very safe.
The Toyota Yaris T Spirit 1.33 VVT-i Multidrive S 5dr is priced at £15,385 which makes it the most expensive model in the current Yaris lineup. The cheaper models, while less luxurious, arguably make much more financial sense.
