The phrase SE refers to Sport Edition, and the steering and four wheel disc brakes are engineered with high-level energies to render a sporty thrust. The suspension mechanism in Yaris SE is sturdier, and the effect of chassis from the driver’s compartment is effective. Driving the car is convenient with regard to the feel of banking on optimum safety, contributed by the dial in steering angle, low rolling resistance and drum rear brakes. The other high-end security features are brake assist, ABS brakes fitted with electronic brake force distribution, vehicle stability and traction control, and seven airbags.

The styling of Yaris is distinctively unique, and the uniqueness is inscribed on the large facelift, and the big radiator grille draws out the distinctive character of the car.

Yaris is a trendy hatch, and the 2015 model is among the best looking in its segment. Sources say sitting in it will take its consumers to time immemorial, and the effect is more pronounced on driver’s seat. A group of people test drove the 2015 Yaris through the scenic beauty of Big Island of Hawaii, and the feel of the car is comparable to the surrounding beauty, it was that refreshing.

The point of origin of the car is France, the place where most of the styling work happened. The assembly and major engineering work was conducted in Japan and Europe. Step into the cabin and it is a new form of Yaris, decked to the core, and the décor is splendid. The equipments render a soft feel, and the design of instrument panel is professional, the SE variant has a refreshed sport gauge cluster, and new chrome and metallic accent trim. The upholstery has been re-structured with posh lint-attraction mouse fur, a standard recipe of Yaris cars.

Sources were amazed with the architecture of the infotainment system, which is class-apart, the base L Yaris is sold at $ 15,670 and has stunning range of amenities with Bluetooth ( hands-free calling and audio), voice recognition, USB port, HD Radio, best-in-segment 6.1 inch touch screen with six audio speakers and screen head unit. The higher up models have the innovative Entune App. The features that are not there anymore are manual mirrors and windup windows. Toyota has probably switched it with automatic mirrors and power windows.

With just a glance Yaris showcases its fiery stance; it is a small wonder, equipped with an efficient 1.5 liter four cylinder engine that churns 106hp. The engine is linked to a potent four speed automatic transmission gearbox. Most of the Yaris models sold in US generate 106hp. The maximum torque range is 103 pound feet at 4,200 rpm, and to extract peak power the rhythm has to move at 4,200 rpm. The engine power of the car is refined and above a point it becomes unbearable visible at 6,000 rpm. When the power goes beyond this point, the car can’t handle it, and feels like it is going to just burst anytime. Consumers have the liberty to drive the 2015 Yaris car to any given length for it to remain in a stable state. It can sail through a maximum distance close to 70mph.

Owning the 2015 Yaris is like possessing a rare and exclusive piece, the styling is so different from any other hatchback in town. It is the front portion where all the variation is visible, watch out for the blackened lower open grille that merges with the headlights and creates an imaginative X shape structure. Those keen on the 2015 Yaris, just buy it to boast of owning something special and far-fetched.

Toyota Etios Liva

The Etios Liva looks exactly the same as the Etios sedan, which means that it has got the same prosaic look which did not exactly attract many buyers. It looks superannuated. There are many other hot hatchbacks available in the country today, which not only looks much better than the Etios Liva but also provides a lot more features. The Etios Liva is available in 2 engine options:  a 1.2L petrol engine and a 1.3L diesel engine. Both these engines are mated to a manual gearbox. The Etios Liva also did not have a lot to talk about the interiors. It is decent but the unusual placement of the instrument cluster, in the middle of the dashboard, simply makes it look cranky. The Etios Cross is much better than the Liva in most of the aspects.

2015 Toyota Yaris facelift Europe

Toyota should observe the response and feedback which they’re getting about the Etios Liva. Time has changed and we think that the company should launch in the Toyota Yaris. We favour for the Yaris because it has many features which the Etios Liva lacked. Starting with the looks of the car. The Yaris looks much more modern, confident and energetic. The nicely sculpted headlamps with the placement of the DRLs and a thin strip of LEDs looks fantastic. The chrome work at the front, which is a plain line, is nicely mated to the headlamps. The new designed front grille is also refreshing. The front bumper has got nice pits for the neat fog lamps. At the rear end of the Yaris we find a small spoiler protruding out from the roof of the car which increases the sportiness of it. The tail lamps are also very thoughtfully designed and matches the entire design philosophy of the car.

If we look at the engine options, the Yaris, which is being sold in the other markets, is currently available in 3 engine options: a 1.0L and 1.3L petrol engine and a 1.4L diesel engine. The performance of the car is great. Perhaps, Toyota would have to do some minor tweaks in order to make it compatible for the Indian conditions and demand.

Toyota is lagging behind in the hatchback segment of the Indian car market. We think that if Toyota launches the Yaris in India, it could really boost up the sales and bring in more smiles to us as well as to the Japanese!

For some interesting information, the Yaris facelift is in the most awaited car list, and the car been captured for 2^nd time. This time car enthusiasts shot the car at arms distance, and the characteristics were more distinct.

The attention grabbing characteristic is the xenon head lights, and interestingly this feature is not common in most hatch cars. An important point of discovery made by car enthusiasts was the position of the car, and the guess was this is a loaded model and fits in the higher variant ladder. The grille displays an arty honey comb design and this too was out of the blue for a Yarsi car.

A few months ago the new Yaris was spotted in its test mule disguise on the streets of Thailand, and in 2013 April, the car made a grand entry at the prestigious Shanghai Auto show. Car enthusiasts in Thailand has close moments with the test mule, and for some interesting facts, the Yaris and Vios the sedan version of the car are splashed with the advanced Dear Qin design theme, revealed at Beijing Motor show 2012.

The car has already hit Thailand markets, and to describe the design of the car, from the front, the Yaris closely resembles the Vios, and is sportier than Vios. Sporty car fans can have a whale of a time in this car. For Thai markets the car is equipped with a potent 1.5 liter petrol mill and attached is four speed automatic and five speed manual gearbox.

The Vios and Yaris are key profit players for Toyota in Thailand, and the popularity can be compared to that of Etios Liva and Etios in India, but the Yaris and Vios overpower Etios Liva and Etios in terms of interior material and appearance.

The test mule Yaris is an interesting launch, mainly because of the Xenon head lights and Dear Qin design theme. Yaris is molded into a trendy package, and scores well in terms of engine capacity.

This new concept is also as usual a part of Toyota’s kitty full of new, innovative and futuristic cars meant for the new-age car consumers. The Hybrid R concept is based on the platform of the three door Toyota Yaris. Under the hood, the concept car will have a 1.6 liter Global Race Engine (GRE) which will be coupled with two powerful electric motors that will ensure that the car gets to have an all 4 wheel drive system successfully.

The Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R Concept also draws some amount of inspiration from the technology of the TS030 Hybrid race car. Some of it is the capability to recuperate energy under its braking system in a potent capacitor and later deliver it to the motors in order to offer an added boost of energy to heighten the derived power. It is to be noted that Toyota has already mentioned that this tech is very much suitable for the usage in a sports car. Thus, it can be safely said that the same technology will also make its way into the GT86 in the future.

It is a known fact that Toyota is the pioneer of Hybrid cars. The Japanese car major introduced the first mass produced hybrid car in the form of today’s extremely successful Prius, after which the car maker never looked back. The Prius made Toyota work extensively on the Hybrid technology as well as the other green technologies. At present, the need of the green cars are evident and the governments of various countries round the world are implementing mandatory introduction of the green cars apart from providing subsidies for such cars. Toyota realizing its decision to follow the green path to be most potential is increasingly focusing on the increased production of the green vehicles.

Toyota is also fast achieving breakthrough success in the fuel cell technology, as the car maker is getting ready to offer its first mass produced Fuel Cell vehicle to the car consumers in the year 2015. Toyota is expected to offer a considerably affordable price tag for its upcoming Hydrogen powered car, which is one of the most daunting obstacles in the advent of the Fuel Cell vehicles.

Toyota is busy preparing itself before the company showcases its most recent developments on the fuel cell as well as the hybrid technologies in the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show this year. Toyota is expected to provide more details on its Fuel Cell model that is due in 2015.

The Japanese car maker is also working to increase the production capacity for the Hybrids and Electric Vehicles, and has already announced of its contemplation to bring in at least 16 brand new as well as refreshed models of its hybrid product line.

Presently, Toyota has announced that it will recall about 185,000 cars globally, which would also include the Yaris subcompact in order to rectify a malfunction in the electric power steering system that might make the steering feel heavy.

According to the Toyota spokesperson, Shiori Hashimoto, among the 185,000 global units, the company will recall around 130,000 units in the domestic car market Japan itself, over 7,400 in Italy, around 7,050 units in Germany and around 7,000 units in countries including France, Britain and the United States. Toyota’s US unit said that around 74 cars in the country will be recalled.

Toyota Motor produces the Yaris in Europe at its French plant in Valenciennes. The Japanese company had launched the Yaris’ third generation gasoline variant in Europe in 2011, which was followed by a hybrid version launch in 2012.

The Yaris is known as the Vitz in Japan, and the cars of the November 2010 and March 2012 make will be recalled. Toyota will also recall the Verso-S known as the Ractis in Japan that were manufactured between August 2010 and August 2011.

Throughout the last five months, the Yaris has been the company’s bestselling car in Europe with the sales of 69,779 units.

According to Toyota, short circuits may cause in the cars by the water droplet formation on certain wires in the power steering control module that could result in the suspension of the power steering assist which in turn can make the steering heavier. The company will replace the power steering control module that will take around one or two hours, albeit free of cost. Toyota also mentioned that it is a part of precautionary process and no accidents or injuries have been reported so far. The Toyota spokesperson refrained from commenting on the cost involved in the recall.

Only last month, Toyota had announced its global recall of around 242,000 units of the very popular and best-selling Prius hybrid for a flawed braking system that may lose its efficiency over the time.
All the flawed parts even in the bestselling cars from the top automakers are shaking the foundation of trust and dependability that the global auto consumers have on the brands.
