Toyota will unveil a new flagship for the Yaris range at the Paris Motor Show, the Yaris TS.
With an emphasis on sporting performance and style, the TS will add an
extra dimension to the appeal of the latest generation Yaris, which was
only launched at the beginning of this year.
ALL-NEW 1.8-LITRE ENGINE
Key to the TS’s character is an all-new 1.8-litre petrol engine with
Dual VVT-i (dual variable valve timing), producing 130bhp (132 DIN hp)
at 6,000rpm and maximum torque of 173Nm at 4,400rpm. Working with a
five-speed manual gearbox, it gives nought to 62mph acceleration in 9.3
seconds and a top speed of 120mph (194km/h).
The Dual VVT-i is an evolution of Toyota’s intelligent valve timing
technology. By varying the timing on both the inlet and exhaust valves,
it gives greater engine flexibility, more power and torque and improved
fuel efficiency. The TS has a combined cycle consumption figure of
37.7mpg and carbon dioxide emissions of 178g/km.
