Customers for the new Design models can opt for a stand-out new colour scheme that includes a black “wrap-around” roof treatment. Elsewhere there are improved specifications, new wheels and seat trims and new option packs to choose from.

The new five-door Design grade replaces Sport in the Yaris line-up and provides comprehensive customer choice with 1.33 VVT-i petrol, 1.4 D-4D diesel and hybrid powertrain options.

The standard specification includes: –

  • Cruise Control

  • Dual-zone climate control (hybrid only)
  • 16-inch black and machined-face alloy wheels
  • LED daytime running lights and rear lights
  • Projector headlights
  • Gloss black honeycomb-mesh grille
  • Rear spoiler
  • Chrome fog lamp surrounds

Bi-colour option
The Yaris Design models can be given extra visual impact with a new bi-colour option (£795) that provides an Eclipse Black metallic finish for the roof, front pillars, door mirrors and upper grille with contrasting Vermillion Red or Glacier Pearl White bodywork. The latter comes with a bespoke two-tone grey interior and seat upholstery; both versions add a black headlining.

Improved equipment specifications
The 2016 Yaris benefits from revised equipment specifications across the board, including the provision of a temporary spare wheel as standard on all models. The Active hybrid model features new Spinne black cloth seat trim. Icon versions add DAB digital radio, cruise control, rear privacy glass and new-design 15-inch alloy wheels, plus the black Spinne seat trim. Excel becomes a hybrid-only grade, with features including automatic headlights and windscreen wipers, 16-inch alloys, rear power windows, auto-dimming rear-view mirror and a cooled glovebox.

Options and option packs
Customers can enhance the appearance and upgrade the equipment specification of their new Yaris with a selection of options and two factory-fitted option packs.

Toyota Safety Sense
Toyota Safety Sense can be specified for Icon, Design and Excel versions of Yaris, equipping the car with Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert and Automatic High Beam.
