Toyota Yaris/Vitz2015 Specs and Price in Pakistan

Introduction

There is a lot of market of small, compact hatchback cars in Pakistan. That is not just because they are compact, but because they are affordable. Toyota Yaris/Vitz 2015 has entered in the phase production and it is going to be launched soon. If you have love for Daihatsu Cuore, then you are definitely going to love this hatchback too.

It is known as Toyota Vitz in Pakistan and it commonly known as Toyota Yaris in other countries. So what are going to be changes in this model?

Toyota Vitz is one of the lowest priced cars but it still falls below Camry and Corolla sedans.

In the 1990s, the Yaris seemed to be a bit lost but the automakers decided to make major changes this time. The engine is going to be economical, and the maneuverability is going to be great. It is the same subcompact hatchback but it still does not have enough ability to make it stand out among other subcompacts that are in the market.

Design modifications

The Toyota Vitz is expected to receive minor changes in the design. The car has the same sleek style andcurves. A new addition is the project beam headlights and a large blacked out grille which seems to be adding an attitude in the car. It will be available with LED daytime running lights feature and accent light bar is also there to add an eye catching look. The spoiler, the integrated fog lights and the 16 inch machine finish alloy wheels are further complementary for the car. It is going to be a sporty ride indeed. The overall design is new, with new detailing, hood sculpting and the mesh design.

Moving on to the interiors, the cabin is going to be more stylish as compared to the predecessor. The automakers have used soft touch materials in the instrument panel, and you will see chrome accent trim and new metallic touches throughout.

The layout makes it an even classier car. There are horizontal shelves like lines on the dashboard and the controls are simple and easy to understand. Trays, bins, and cup holders have been added which make it a complete family car. The passengers are going to find this car a lot comfortable.

The front seats are comfortable but there is a whole different story with the rear seats. The car can easily adjust up to 4 passengers. The only problem is that the cargo space is not good at all.

Features

Have a look at some of the features that have been added to the car:

·         Star safety system

·         9 airbags

·         Driver and front passenger whiplash injury reducing seats

·         The tire pressure monitoring system

·         Child safety seat restraints

What’s under the hood?

An interesting thing to learn is what is going to be under the hood? The engine that is going too offered in Toyota Yaris/Vitz 2015 will be the 1.5 liter 4-clyinder engine that is capable of producing 106 hp. This is not confirmed whether it is going to be a direct injection engine or the turbo charged engine.

The performance of the engine seems to be a little tepid as it is going to be available in the standard 5-speed manual transmission. Some even say that many Toyota will offer the 4-speed auto transmission to bridge the gap and but that there is nothing official about the transmission yet. However, one thing is for certain that it is going to come in the best fuel efficiency and technology than its predecessor.

Performance and handing

When you are in the right gear, you will find the car really light. It is weighs about 2300 pounds and a good thing is that it is going to be lighter than what most of the subcompact cars weigh. The automakers have also brought significant improvements in the suspensions because the new upgrades like softer spring, stiffer shocks and stiffer torsion beam are available. Another change is the electric power steering that will even make the suspension stiff and offer a flat handling but that is not going to influence the comfort of the ride. The brakes are fine, and smooth just like the old model. The pedals are much frim.

Trim levels

Toyota Yaris/Vitz 2015 is going to be offered in 3 trim levels; base L, LE and SE (Sporty). A good thing is that there is not much price difference in all three of them. The SE trim level is one that stands out the most. It is available with 16 inch machine finish alloy wheels, projector beam headlights, LED lights, rear spoiler, ungraded seats, rear disc brakes and similar other features. No wonder why it’s called sporty.

The expected price for the Toyota Yaris/Vitz 2015 starts from Rs. 1,50,000 but it might go up too. It is already available for sale in the showrooms of Pakistan.
