Toyota has unveiled the European version of the new Yaris, its all-new supermini which will replace the model of the same name in the summer of 2011. The new Yaris is, quite predictably, based on the Yaris HSD Hybrid prototype that we saw last March in Geneva.
It adopts Toyota’s new design language, with more angular headlights and more prominent creases in the body, although the general shape does not stray too much from the previous generation model.
What has changed, though, is the interior: unlike the two previous generations, in the new Yaris the instrument binnacle is no longer placed in the middle of the dashboard but in front of the driver, and has replaced the (sometimes hard to read) digital instruments with conventional gauges. Thus, the driver gains in instrument readability, but on the other hand loses the practical double glove box of the previous Yaris.
We don’t have any official information about the available powerplants, though we expect the initial line-up to consist of a 3-cylinder 1.0 liter and a 4-cylinder 1.3-liter. In 2012, we’ll also see a hybrid version, which will use the now familiar Hybrid Synergy Drive, probably combined with a 1.3- or 1.5-liter engine to combat the likes of Honda’s Jazz Hybrid.

Ugh, they're so inconsistent with their design.
I like this design a lot more. It fits the Yaris much better. Shoot, they better get the next Camry right. I'm tired of my eyes bleeding vanilla-strawberry everyday on the road.
Very prety, all the pakis will love this one!!!
The two previous generations of the Yaris always sold really well here (Portugal) so I'm guessing this one that looks better will soon be everywhere. Even public services like the City Council uses them.
It looks older than Peugeot 207.
Bye bye Toyota Yaris...
