When the new Toyota Vios was introduced earlier this year, fans of the Japanese brand wondered when the new version of the car's twin model, the Yaris, would be unveiled. Those fans can stop wondering now, as the latest iteration of the subcompact hatchback has appeared on the website of Toyota Thailand.
The new Toyota Yaris hatch just got introduces on the Thailand’s market, wearing a new face, which was actually not expected.
Unfortunately, that phrase is the only part of the website written in English--outside of the section headings--so we can't really convey much to you apart from these photos. Oh, yeah, we can decipher that part where it says the new Yaris will be available in four variants: G, E, J.
Yes, the new Yaris launched in Thailand is not the third generation one sold in the rest of the world, but it’s the hatchback version of the 2013 Toyota Vios sold in China.
The “Yarivios” uses the same 2,500 mm wheelbase of the Vios sedan while being shorter in length and height while wearing similar design elements with the ones on the sedan. The similarities continue even inside, where you will feel like in a Vios with a smaller boot, shrunk from 506 liters to just 326.
Based on the information released by Toyota Thailand, the new model will by 4,115 mm long, 1,700 mm wide, and 1,475 tall. Its dimensions have increased but the body will be sitting much lower to the ground.
The 2014 Toyota Yaris will reach the local market some time next year. We also speculate that the new Yaris that will be sold here will share the same old engine with the local Vios in Indonesia. Toyota did not produce a new engine such as engine with Dual VVT-i.
Powering the five-door hatch is a new 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with VVT-i that makes 109 hp, sent to the front wheels via a Super CVT-i.
