| The Toyota Yaris Hybrid is equipped, as standard, with seven airbags, an Anti-lock Braking System ABS , Electronic Brakeforce Distribution EBD , Corner Stability Control, CSC , Brake Assist BA , Traction Control TRC and Vehicle Stability Control VSC , offering customers the highest levels of safety | Under operating conditions of low engine efficiency such as start up and low to mid-range speeds, the vehicle runs on the electric motor alone, thus eradicating CO2, NOx and PM emissions |
|---|---|
| The downsized hybrid system combines a substantially re-engineered 1 | And the use of highly efficient, 12-hole atomizing fuel injectors reduces both fuel consumption and emissions |
The number of cells has been reduced from the 168 of the current, Auris Hybrid battery to only 120, composed of 20 modules connected in series.
| Agile Handling and Responsive Steering The new Yaris Hybrid shares the standard Yaris' proven combination of MacPherson strut front and torsion beam rear suspension | A USB port allows for the connection of portable music players, with the facility to display iTunes album cover art |
|---|---|
| The model range flagship, it represents a new and unique offer in Europe's highest sales volume segment, and will bring the benefits of full hybrid technology to a wider range of customers than ever before | Optimum Weight Distribution for Balanced Driveability The extensive use of high-tensile steel within the new Yaris Hybrid's construction not only saves weight, but also offers greater bodyshell rigidity for handling stability |
Toyota pioneered this Pearl White finish, which has required the introduction of a bespoke production process at the TMMF plant where the new hybrid is built.
10| Compared to the Auris Hybrid, unit output current has been reduced from 120 to 80 A and output voltage lowered from 650 to 520 V, saving system energy with no loss of performance or efficiency | Under normal driving conditions, power allocation is constantly adjusted between engine and electric motor to combine optimum performance with maximum fuel efficiency |
|---|---|
| The Toyota Yaris Hybrid differentiates itself from the other Yaris derivatives with an exclusive, aerodynamically efficient exterior design which instantly identifies it as the flagship of the Yaris model range | Smaller and lighter than that fitted to the Auris Hybrid, the new inverter features a newly structured capacitor, reduced energy losses and improved cooling, enhancing fuel efficiency |
To the comprehensive standard equipment of the Active grade, the Style grade adds front fog lamps with chrome ring surrounds, smart entry with push start, front armrest and 16" alloy wheels.
