Toyota is displaying the 2018 Toyota Yaris at the
2017 Thai Motor Expo. The company had launched the facelifted Yaris in Thailand
in September this year.
The 2018 Toyota Yaris features a new fluidic
front-end borrowed from the Toyota Yaris ATIV. The facelifted Toyota Yaris gets
new swept-back headlamps, a more prominent grille layout, redesigned bumper and
fog lamp housing and LED DRLs. At the rear, the redesigned tailgate and bumper,
new tailgate applique and the Toyota Corolla-inspired wraparound tail lamps
make the Toyota Yaris look more contemporary now.
The 2018 Toyota Yaris (facelift) features a
refreshed interior too. Toyota has redesigned the dashboard and the outer-end
air vents to go with the fluidic nature of the new model. The centre console
and multifunction steering wheel are new too.
Noteworthy features of the 2018 Toyota Yaris include
projector headlamps with LED light guides, LED DRLs, 15-inch alloy wheels, tail
lamps with LED graphics, keyless entry, push-button start, leather steering
wheel and gearshift knob, automatic climate control, parking sensors (rear),
VSC, TRC, HAC, and 7 airbags.
The Toyota Yaris employs the 3NR-FE 1.2-litre Dual
VVT-i engine across the range. This four-cylinder petrol engine produces 86 PS
at 6,000 rpm and 108 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. A continuously variable
transmission is standard. Prices start at 489,000 Baht. The Citrus Mica
Metallic-painted model in the images is in the range-topping G grade, which
costs 619,000 Baht.
