Toyota has released a couple of images with the facelifted Yaris set to go on sale in the following months, following some brochure scans which surfaced the web in March..
Essentially a rebadged Vitz,
the European-spec Yaris will be built in France and launched this
summer. Additional information is limited, but the car will feature a
6.1-inch touchscreen display and three different engines: a 1.0-liter
VVT-i, a 1.33-liter dual VVT-i and a 1.4-liter D-4D diesel.
The Yaris has received a major styling change as the front fascia is now derived from the all-new Aygo
with the large trapezoidal lower grille combined with the upper one to
create an "X" shape. While on the smaller Aygo the LED daytime running
lights sit next to the fog lights, on the facelifted Yaris these have
been integrated within the darkened headlights.
Photos of the Yaris' rear have not been provided but most likely the
changes will carry over from the JDM-spec Vitz with the updated
taillights, altered license plate area and a mildly tweaked bumper. They
also prepared new alloy wheel designs along with a revised interior
cabin packing the latest version of the Toyota Link infotainment system.
The changes are skin deep as the face-lifted Yaris
now benefits from a modified suspension to provide better handling and
comfort while the noise levels have be reduced. Engine lineup will be
taken from the pre-facelift variant, including the hybrid powertrain.
A full reveal should occur in the following days.
