toyota sports car

nearly 4 years now since the first boi eco car introduced in thailand now at last, it's the day for toyota motor thailand to release its boi eco car product the entirely new 5-door with one familiar name, but its segment and many things have changed built to be a right answer, to thais today toyota's second generation yaris for thailand new 5-door, new generation, new segment, new prices and also as the first true "yaris", because it's born not to be vitz as we know it now debuted in thailand for real, after world premiered in china rolled out from the "gateway ii, chachoengsao" assembly line, and that line was established specifically for this boi eco car of toyota

the operation was started as soon as september begins we must also not forget that this standard production 5-door is a result that derived from the "dear qin 5-door" concept that's its guiding light indeed, just a similar way to how the new vios (3rd-gen) emerged its appearance remained as large as b-segment should, despite being boi eco car now large sized body as some competitor in its class and with over 1,000kg of weight, but different with its own "wide & low" stance 4,115mm overall length, 2,550mm wheelbase length 1,475mm overall height, 1,700mm overall width with 5.1m minimum turning radius entirely new sporty and aggressive front end

j grade will get front end with black stripe instead of silver projector headlamps reserved for g grade, while others will get multi-reflector headlamps dynamic exterior by aerodynamics principle, side fins, catamaran roof 0.29 drag coefficient using front "acoustic" windscreen, for a reason of noise reducing g grade's side mirrors with turn signals g grade's chrome door handles with supporting the "smart entry" keyless system 185/60r15, 15-inch alloy wheels for g grade

j grade will get 175/65r14 with 14-inch steel wheels and cover while j eco will be coverless its fuel tank is 42-litre larger rear lamps which also supported dynamic act tailgate with chrome strip, again for g grade while others will be non-chrome dual lower red reflectors today's thai spec yaris powered by 3nr-fe 1,197cc 4-cyl dohc 16-valve 86hp, e20 accepted and it's the first for toyota thailand: dual vvt-i engine for car below the corolla's segment (and vios)

maximum power: 63kw @ 6,000rpm | maximum torque: 108nm @ 4,000rpm its transmission only come as this super cvt-i (with shift lock) front: independent macpherson struts with stabilizer bar rear: torsion beam with coil springs and anti-roll bar in safety, all variants shared these in common: goa body structure front discs with rear drum brakes, abs-ebd, brake assist, high mounted stop lamp front seats featuring whiplash injury lessening or wil dual airbags, front p&f safety belts, rear elr safety belts

but immobilizer & theft deterrent system available for g & e grades interior actually not different much from vios, in both appearance and space so meant existed of some details of difference main tone of the front console of every yaris is "dark silver" but again g grade always gained the rich features than others like this leather-wrapped steering wheel with metallic decoration electric power (eps), speed-sensitive, with audio controller postion of gauge finally brought back behind steering wheel (like thais said it should), then it's sportier with multi-info display (mid), and eco indicator

"smart start" ignition button floor mat with anti-slip pins door panels with metallic decoration and chrome inner door handles radio/cd/mp3/wma with thai language display, with hub of usb & aux 4 speakers for g & e, 2 speakers for j & j eco automatic climate control with lcd screen 3 positions of cupholders 12v/120w power socket all variants will share this type of sport cloth seats equally

rear row seat with column-type headrests, 60:40 ability for g & e, but center armrest just went absent anti-jam power windows (excluded j eco) meanwhile without compromising of cargo area spare tire located just under the cargo floor and yaris of today achieved 20km/l fuel consumption (unece reg. 101 combined mode) and its emission rate that can compare to the rate of euro iv 7 exterior colors, 3 grades 4 variants total, the price started at 469,000 thb g grade maintained the price under 600,000 thb by 599,000 thb

excuse me sir, do you feel comfort on this new yaris? "don't bother ask me! i'm just a bear doll" previous generation of yaris in thailand was b-segment, but its sales target never outsold the vios toyota found its way by decide to participate the boi eco car program, and let this all-new yaris 5-door standalone in that whole new segment and with it, toyota has made the "right" answers from the car to the people more than ever before vios is darn good already in b-segment, that's why tmt did something different this time to the new yaris lower segment but definitely higher potential, at least than the car it replaces
