The 2013 Toyota Yaris is already for years a fixture small car segment. Also in this segment of the buyers are placing an increased emphasis on design, quality and functionality. Anyone who is aware of a class get deeper today, most would give up anything. This request will also be the Toyota Yaris. With 3.69 meters, the third generation will be about ten centimeters longer than its predecessor, but still ranks among the little ones. The V-shaped tapered engine hood with large headlights and large air intake, the distinct wedge shape to emphasize with bold beads, flared wheel arches, spoilers, rear window, a bear mightily in the width of drawn back and the height of 1.51 meters and leave the Yaris adult work.


In the interior, passengers encounter a pleasant space. The instrument panel emphasizes the width of the vehicle and is kept simple. Unfortunately, Toyota is still not here without material mix and hard plastic.
The backbenchers have the longer wheelbase about three centimeters more knee room. The cargo space is increased to 286 liters, offering relatively generous space for groceries or luggage. After folding down the rear seat in the ratio of 60:40 is not a forward edge slightly increasing load floor. When loading it may not be too generous. 465 kg payload are not just for a five-seater in this class lush.

Toyota has been on the show a lot of technology for security and comfort, but also has a technological icing on the cake, no matter how few extras on offer, such as the navigation and information system "Touch & Go," the in the top three of the five facilities for the price of 550 € is offered. This creates not only the traffic information from TMC pro on the 6.1-inch screen in the center of the dashboard. The navigation works quite well, but unfortunately can be in brightness - even without direct sunlight - read poorly. That could possibly by a small "roof" can be improved for the display. About Bluetooth can easily connect the phone, which allows the driver by means of the steering wheel controls easy phone call. The sound quality is very pleasing.


While driving, the diesel engine revealed as a good engine for the little Japanese. It speeds up fairly easily. At a constant driving at high speed he was still quite elastic.

The Toyota Yaris is a subcompact car that still offers room for four people with luggage for a long tour. His agility is the use against him in the city.
