5-seat Verso leads 2013 changes

A 5-seat version of the Toyota Verso has been introduced to the model in the car's mid-life upgrade, writes Trish Whelan.

Among some 470 changes are a completely restyled front end to bring it into line with the latest Toyota styling ethos. Additionally the Verso 2013 in Luna grade gets 16-inch alloys, rear side windows privacy glass, and a Skyview roof.

There have also been improvements to the soundproofing, seat comfort, and extra colours are available.

The 124hp 2.0 diesel powertrain is more efficient, resulting in a shift from tax band B2 to B1.

The 5-seater starts at €25,460, the 7-seat from €28,250.
