Highlights:
|
All-new Yaris
(prototype) |
- First use of the TNGA(1) platform for compact cars. A body that
is light yet highly rigid and has a low center of gravity.
- Adopts the latest powertrain, including a 1.5-liter inline
three-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine based on the TNGA design
philosophy. This engine pursues both driving performance and the
world's highest level of fuel efficiency for a hybrid vehicle, in
addition to the pleasure of driving.
Toyota is also offering E-Four (electric four-wheel drive system)
for the first time on a compact car.
- The condensed, clutter-free cabin and compact form that extends
from the center of the body to the front and rear wheels express an
active dynamic design that appears ready to take off at a moment's
notice.
- "Advanced Park"(2), Toyota's advanced parking support system (a
first on a Toyota vehicle), and the latest Toyota Safety Sense,
which now detects oncoming cars (a first on a Toyota vehicle) when
turning right at an intersection and pedestrians crossing the
street when turning right or left, are standard(3).
- Enhanced comfort and convenience features include "Turn Tilt
Seats"(2) (a first on a Toyota vehicle), which facilitate entering
and exiting the vehicle, and Display Audio (standard on all
models), which can connect with smartphones, and an accessory power
outlet is available for hybrid versions in Japan.
Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) unveiled the new model Yaris(4)
to the world. The new Yaris is scheduled to go on sale in Japan
starting in mid-February 2020(5). It will be exhibited*6 at
VenusFort in Odaiba, Tokyo during the Tokyo Motor Show 2019. The
new Yaris will also be displayed in showrooms throughout Japan from
the end of October to December.
The first-generation Yaris was created in 1999 as a car that would
serve as the global standard for compact cars by enlisting the full
portfolio of Toyota's technological prowess. Toyota re-designed the
platform and all major components, including the engine,
transmission, and suspension to achieve generous cabin space and
outstanding basic performance in a minimum size.
The new Yaris has been developed in pursuit of new value sought in
next-generation compact cars. The new Yaris is a new-generation
compact car that adopts the TNGA(1) platform, on which Toyota will
base its compact cars for developed countries in the future, and
features components built entirely from the ground up, including
the engine, Hybrid System, transmission, and suspension. In
addition to the light yet highly rigid body and low center of
gravity, the Yaris is offered with four different powertrains to
deliver agility, superior comfort, and smooth and direct
acceleration
1. The newly developed 1.5-liter inline three-cylinder Dynamic
Force Engine and Direct Shift-CVT
2. The 1.5-liter Dynamic Force Engine with New-generation Hybrid
System
3. The 1.5-liter Dynamic Force Engine with 6-speed manual
4. An improved 1.0-liter engine with a compact and lightweight
CVT
Drivers will be able to experience the pleasure of a brisk
ride.
In addition to pursuing Toyota's ongoing goal of developing the
world's highest level of fuel efficiency for a hybrid vehicle, the
new Yaris is offered with E-Four (electric four-wheel drive
system), a first for a Toyota compact car. Toyota is among the
first to adopt an array of advanced features that defy the common
hierarchy based on car size, such as Advanced Park(2), Toyota's
advanced parking support system (a first for a Toyota vehicle); the
latest Toyota Safety Sense, which has been expanded to detect
oncoming cars when turning right at an intersection and pedestrians
crossing the street when turning right or left; Turn Tilt Seats(2)
(equipped by Toyota for the first time) which facilitate entering
and exiting the vehicle; and Display Audio (standard on all
models), which can connect with smartphones.
An accessory power outlet (1,500 W) is available for the hybrid
version of the cars. With the accessory, electricity from the
vehicle can be used to power electrical devices and appliances
using the same type of electrical outlets found at home.
Additionally, the vehicle can serve as an emergency power generator
in cases such as blackouts.
Chief Engineer Yasunori Suezawa, in charge of development of the
new Yaris, explained, "This marks the 20th year since the first
Yaris debuted, so we wanted to build a new-generation compact car
that goes far beyond customers' preconceptions about class by
building on the strengths of the Yaris as a compact car while
revamping the platform, powertrain, and all other components.
Compact cars are driven by many people, so offering a pleasurable
drive was a priority, but it also prompted us to use the Yaris as
the starting point of cars with the world's highest level of fuel
efficiency and secure safety technology."
