2016 Toyota Verso
Toyota has launched the updated Verso in the United Kingdom,
where it's priced from £ 18,120 (US$ 25,990).
Joining the lineup alongside the Active,
Icon and Excel specifications and replacing the Trend and Trend Plus, is a new
trim level, called Design. It slots between the Icon and Excel range-topper and
starts from £ 23,405 (US$ 33,570) with the 1.8-liter Valvematic gasoline engine,
mated to an automatic gearbox, while the 1.6-liter D-4D diesel costs £ 23,250
(US$ 33,350).
The standard features found on the Design
include Toyota Touch 2 with Go multimedia with sat-nav, rearview camera, fixed
panoramic roof and rear privacy glass, on top of the features available on the
Icon, such as DAB tuner, automatic air-con, six-speaker audio and automatic
headlights.
At the top of the range sits the Excel,
with its leather and cloth combination upholstery, panoramic roof, auto-dimming
rearview mirror and high-intensity discharge headlights. Toyota claims the
Icon, Design and Excel can be specified with optional family pack that provides
leather upholstery for the first and second row of seats and two rear seatback
screens with integrated DVD players, for an extra £ 1,995 (US$ 2,860).
Other changes performed for the 2016 MY
include 16-inch wheels for the Icon, 17-inch for Design and 17-inch with
Anthracite dark grey finish and double-spoke arrangement for Excel, joined by a
new Platinum Bronze shade, while the tire repair kit, equipped on demand, has
been relocated to the underfloor storage compartment, to free more boot space.
On top of these, all versions of the MPV
have been upgraded with the Toyota Safety Sense, with Pre-Collision System,
Autonomous Emergency Braking, Automatic High Beam and Lane Departure Alert.
