Revised Yaris coming soon

A revised Toyota Yaris will on on sale in Ireland in time for the 172 registrations, writes Brian Byrne.

The company has given new shapes to the front, including differently designed lights and grille revisions.

The interior has been upgraded with a more modern look and higher quality materials.

Active safety systems are now standard on the car, including a pre-collision system with autonomous emergency braking, automatic high beam, and lane departure alert. Road sign assist is also standard on all but the Luna grade.

The hybrid version is now quieter than before and has improved ride and steering. Hybrids account for more than a third of all sales in Ireland of the Yaris, which as a model has 14pc of the supermini segment.
