Toyota upgrades Yaris offering

Toyota has unveiled two new additions to its Yaris range - the 1.3 VVT-i and 1.4 D-4D Yaris SR.

According to the company, the vehicles now represent one of the best supermini offerings on the market.

A unique standard feature of the new Yaris SR is the satellite navigation / audio system which is both built in and fully portable. The system offers handy touch screen operation, Bluetooth connectivity and USB connection for MP3 players.

The new SR models take the highly specified T3 model as a starting point and ramps up its owner-appeal with the addition:

• 
  
• Fully integrated audio system with removable TomTom satellite navigation unit - a first in the B segment, exclusive to Toyota
• Toyota Motorsport 16-inch Pit Lane alloy wheels
• Toyota Motorsport lowered sports suspension
• Rear roof spoiler
• Chrome exhaust finisher
• Brushed alloy gearshift knob (manual versions)
• Front scuff plates
• 
  

Both SR models are available in both three and five-door body styles with a choice of 86bhp (87 DIN hp) 1.3-litre VVT-i petrol or 89bhp (90 DIN hp) 1.4-litre D-4D diesel powered engines.

A five-speed manual gearbox is fitted as standard, but customers can opt for the MultiMode transmission, which adds £500 to the price tag

The SR 1.3 VVT-i 3dr model is on the market from £10,995.
