New Toyota Yaris TR released
Toyota has upgraded the spec on the Toyota Yaris TR
Toyota has been having a bit of a tweak of the Yaris range for the summer, and has announced an improved spec for the Yaris TR and the deletion of the Yaris SR.
The changes to the new Toyota Yaris TR move it up the range towards the T-Spirit. There are ten Yaris TR models in the range (prices and detail at the bottom) and all get an upgraded spec.
The Toyota Yaris TR now gets 15″ Eught-Spoke Alloys (just like the T-Spirit), AirCon, electric windows and mirrors, 6-speaker sound system (just 4 on the 1.0 VVTi), leather wheel with audio controls, leather gear shift trim and adjustable steering wheel. The 1.3 VVTi and the 1.4 D-4D also get some chrome trim in the cabin and sun visors with vanity mirrors.
The Yaris is a good little car, with the emphasis on ‘little’. The 1.0 litre is a bit underpowered here (although pretty good in the Aygo) but the 1.3 performs well and the 1.4 diesel has a pretty decent amount of grunt. The Yaris is well-built, although the cabin is a bit on the cheap side. Not particularly glamorous, but quite fun to drive and cheap to own.
The good news is that Yaris TR buyers get the extra kit for free as the prices remain unchanged. They start from £10,280 and are available in the UK now.
