The Toyota Yaris L, manufactured
by the GAC-Toyota joint venture, has
received its MY2017 update.
The MY2017 update has brought a sporty aero kit and
a tailgate spoiler to the 1.5E speed and 1.5G speed skylight grades of the car,
priced at CNY 91,300 and at 1,03,000 respectively. The 1.5-litre Dual VVT-i petrol engine under the hood of the
Yaris models makes 106 hp and 140 Nm of torque matched to a
continuously variable transmission.
Lower variants of the Toyota Yaris L is available
with the 1.3-litre Dual VVT-i petrol engine that develops 98 hp and
123 Nm of torque, in combination with a 5-speed manual transmission.
While the Chinese Toyota Yaris L received its
mid-cycle update last year, the ASEAN-spec Toyota Yaris has just begun testing.
A pre-production prototype was spotted this week in Thailand, which had a
notably different exterior with cues borrowed from the new Toyota Corolla
introduced last year.
