To end 2017 year with a bang, Toyota Motor Philippines Corp. (TMP) has recently launched their 2018 subcompact hatch Yaris during the exclusive annual Christmas Media Lunch at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Bonifacio Global City. The Yaris, which categorically labelled as B-segment car, offers a new redefined face from its headlamps, fog lamps, tailgate, and new set of alloy wheels tires.
Amid the incoming Comprehensive Automotive Resurgence Strategy (CARS) program, the company still expressed high hopes that their sales will reach 180,000 units by end of the year contributed by their best-selling sedan, the Toyota Vios.
Interior-wise, replacing the 1.5G to S variant features daytime running lights, Grip-type Chrome, 6 speakers, a push start starting system, an eco-drive mode and a sport drive mode. Furthermore, the 1.5S variant is now featured with a Toyota vehicle Security System (TVSS) with alarm and immobilizer as well as smart entry with speed sensing door lock.
As Toyota prioritizes the safety of its passengers, the New Yaris is now equipped with 7 airbags across all variants. This shows how the Yaris can be a sporty yet safe vehicle designed for the active lifestyle of the stylish Yaris owner. The Yaris is priced at P825,000 (1.3E manual), P877,000 (1.3E automatic) and P1,006,000 for the top-of-the-line 1.5S automatic.
