The compact Japanese hatchback is one of the “youngest” cars in its class. This model was first born in 2005, and official sales of the latest generation of hatchbacks in Russia began only a year later. For the past 6 years, our motorists have been driving such Japanese compact cars, and the novelty was widely recognized immediately after the debut. Now a lot of information has accumulated about this car, and today we will try to give our product a review.
Toyota Yaris and its appearance
Despite the fact that the Japanese hatchback has a similar appearance to the older Auris, the new design looks much nicer and more attractive. The car has expressive features of the body, this is especially noticeable in the side. The front part is framed no less expressively - rounded main headlights successfully harmonize with the front bumper. In general, the small car got a dynamic and even somewhat aggressive look, designed for both young and mature customers.
Toyota Yaris - owner reviews about the interior
The interior of the car can be described in three words - stylish, ergonomic and functional. One of the main changes that benefited was the movement of the instrument panel from the center towards the driver - now it is placed right in front of his eyes.
The change in steering column adjustment was also positive - now it can be set not only by reach, but also by the angle of inclination. The front row of seats can also be adjusted in height. The trunk volume of the car is average - 272 liters. But such a volume is quite enough for small family purchases, as evidenced by the driver's review.
Toyota Yaris in the field of security
Japanese developers did not forget about emergency situations. The Toyota Yaris hatchback can rightfully be called one of the safest cars in its class - the car is equipped with nine airbags, including side, front and knee airbags . Each seat also has a 3-point seat belt. In addition, the “active” head restraints and numerous other electronic systems contribute to the level of safety.

Among the transmissions, you can choose a 6-speed robotic gearbox or a manual gearbox at the same speeds. The car is very economical in terms of fuel consumption - said a driver’s review. Toyota Yaris consumes only 5 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in a combined cycle. This is a very good indicator, especially since today the price of fuel in Russia is not the cheapest.
