From 2012, the Toyota hybrid range — Only manufacturer to produce full hybrid technology in two plants in Europe shares the traditionally high residual values of all Toyota Hybrids. will feature five models: the Yaris Hybrid, the Auris Hybrid, the Prius, the Prius+ and the Prius Plug-in Hybrid. The new Yaris Hybrid is the first full hybrid vehicle to go on sale in the The new powertrain has been optimised for installation within the vehicle’s European B-segment. The Yaris model range flagship, it represents a new compact, extremely efficient packaging design, without detriment to either and unique offer in Europe’s highest sales volume segment, and will bring the system quality and performance, or passenger accommodation and loadspace. benefits of full hybrid technology to a wider range of customers than ever The downsized hybrid system combines a substantially re-engineered 1.5 litre before. petrol engine with a lighter, more compact electric motor, transaxle, inverter and battery pack. The Yaris is Toyota’s best-selling core model in Europe, with more than 2.5 million units sold. It is the only B-segment car to offer customers the The highly efficient powertrain offers the best balance of performance and choice of 3 different powertrain types – full hybrid, diesel or petrol. fuel consumption/CO2 emissions in the B segment. It delivers an average fuel consumption of just 3.5 l/100 km and segment-best CO2 emissions of only Combining the ingenious packaging and urban agility of the Yaris model range 79 g/km, whilst allowing customers frequent, all-electric driving periods that with the unique driving experience and efficiency of Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy emit no NOx, PM or CO2 emissions. Drive® (HSD), the Yaris Hybrid is a new major step in the company’s full hybrid European roll-out strategy. With segment-best fuel consumption of 3.1 l/100 km in the urban cycle, the Yaris Hybrid represents the ideal urban mobility choice at a time when With low fuel consumption, low environmental impact, strong acceleration, fuel prices are reaching peak levels. Internal test data show that a high great manoeuvrability and unique EV capabilities, it represents the ultimate proportion of journey time and distance can be undertaken with the engine urban car. off, representing significant benefits in fuel consumption. 4 5 A more aspirational design for the most efficient package in the segment — More advanced and sophisticated design for Yaris flagship — No compromise on Yaris’ efficient packaging DNA — New hybrid exclusive pearl white colour execution — Interior featuring hybrid-exclusive blue details and illumination At its original launch, the Yaris quickly became nicknamed “Piccolo Genio” optimising engine bay cooling whilst emphasise the new hybrid’s ground- (Little Genius). This is a testament to a car which has been developed over hugging stance and low centre of gravity. successive generations in accordance with the key concept of “compact outside whilst roomy inside”, consistently setting new standards in packaging A slimmer upper grille, elegantly sculpted to highlight the hybrid-blue ingenuity. Toyota badge, is flanked by slim, Keen Look headlights which emphasise the new hybrid’s bold, horizontal front styling. Exclusive to the Yaris Hybrid, the The Yaris Hybrid inherits all the clever DNA of the standard, third generation projector-type headlamp unit features standard chrome-plated ‘eyebrows’ model, offering B segment customers an ingenious combination of small, lipped with an LED ‘lightguide’, and LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL). compact packaging and a spacious, practical interior. In profile, identified by hybrid badging and exclusive wheel designs, the new The Yaris Hybrid differentiates itself from the other Yaris derivatives with an hybrid shares the stylish, cab-forward silhouette and long wheelbase profile of exclusive, aerodynamically efficient exterior design which instantly identifies it the standard Yaris. The exterior overall length is only 20 mm longer than the as the flagship of the Yaris model range. standard Yaris. It combines a new, more aggressive, Under Priority frontal design element - To the rear, the hybrid-blue badged tailgate incorporates a new, LED-type high the distinctive new Toyota face design execution, with a Keen Look detailing mounted stop light, and clear lens combination lights incorporate a LED tail reinforced by hybrid-specific LED lights. and stop lamp signature unique to the new Yaris Hybrid. Flanked by aerodynamically efficient front aero corner treatments, the strong The Yaris Hybrid is available with a choice of unique 15” and 16” aerodynamic centre section of the lower bumper houses a larger, trapezoidal lower grille wheels, and a range of eight body colours including a model-specific new Pearl White finish execution. 6 7 Toyota pioneered this Pearl White finish, which has required the introduction of a bespoke production process at the TMMF plant where the new hybrid is built. Reinforcing the Yaris Hybrid’s uniquely stylish and environmentally- conscientious design credentials, the new colour delivers a cool, high quality image (particularly in sunlight) when the soft, silken lustre of pearl is at its strongest. On board, Yaris Hybrid customers benefit from a driver-focused cockpit with hybrid-exclusive details and trim finishes. Silver ring-trimmed three dimensional instrument dials incorporate a hybrid system indicator and feature a combination of white and blue backlighting. The centre console-mounted Toyota Touch system incorporates a hybrid energy monitor illuminated in blue as well as the dual zone air-conditioning. The dashboard soft-touch pads and front door trims are finished in an exclusive, Ice Grey colour, and blue stitching trims the leather upholstery, steering wheel and hand brake. A unique gear lever to the hybrid derivative comes standard with blue finish on the gear knob. 8 9 Downsized full hybrid powertrain for fuel and space efficiency auxiliary drive belt, a low-friction timing chain, a lightweight, resin-based intake manifold and a compact exhaust manifold. — Substantially re-engineered 1.5 litre petrol unit engine combined with downsized hybrid system components When used in combined with a cooled EGR system, the Atkinson cycle engine — Compact battery, relocated under the rear seats to preserve boot space offers significant gains in fuel efficiency and the reduction of emissions. — Total system output of 100 hp, with low, 3.5 l/100 km fuel consumption — Best in class CO2, NOX and Particulate Matter emissions In the Atkinson cycle, compression and expansion are asymmetrical, and the — Frequent all-electric operation with no fuel consumed and zero emissions inlet valves close late, delaying compression. This creates a high expansion — Driving range of 1,000 km on one tank of fuel ratio for less compression, converting combustion energy to engine power more effectively. As a result, the exhaust temperature is lower than that of The new Yaris Hybrid introduces the first downsizing of Toyota’s proven Compact, Lower Displacement Petrol Engine conventional engines.
