If you do most of your driving in the city but like to hit the highway occasionally as well, you need a vehicle that can do it all; thankfully, the 2018 Toyota Yaris Hatchback was made for people just like you. Here we will look at some of the many things you’ll love about this stylish and modern vehicle.

  1. Fantastic fuel efficiency

In a new Yaris, you can afford to hit the road a lot more often, as it is remarkably fuel efficient. The manual version requires just 7.8L/100km in the city and 6.5L/100km on the highway, while the automatic just about matches it, needing as little as 7.9L/100km in the city and 6.8L/100km on the highway.

  1. Plenty of power

For a small car the new Yaris sure has plenty of grunt, which is thanks to its 1.5L, 4-cylinder, 16 valve DOHC engine that cranks out up to 106 horsepower. This impressive unit also boasts Sequential Multiport Electronic Fuel Injection and Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence, which means you’ll always have the power you want and need at your disposal. 

  1. Maximum versatility

Not only do you get plenty of head and leg room in a Yaris, but you’ll find pockets, pouches, and compartments in all the right places. This highly versatile vehicle also features 60/40 split fold rear seats that make it easy to adjust the space to suit your needs.

  1. The Backup Camera

Whether you are reversing into a tight parking space or navigating a crowded campsite, the 2018 Yaris makes doing so a whole lot safer and easier thanks to the inclusion of a high tech Backup Camera. This savvy system even features user-friendly dynamic guidelines. 

  1. Supreme safety

You and your passengers will be well protected in this safety-focused Toyota, as its many standard safety features include 9 strategically positioned airbags and the award-winning Toyota Star Safety System. The Toyota Safety Sense C package is also on board, with its many highlights including Automatic High Beams, a Pre-Collision System, and Lane Departure Alert.

  1. Eco-Drive Monitoring

Want to learn how to drive a little greener this year? If so, the Yaris has you covered, as it comes with an Eco-Drive Monitor that displays real-time data regarding how your driving habits (such as the way you accelerate and brake) are impacting your ride’s fuel efficiency.

  1. True comfort

Get ready for your most comfortable ride yet, because the 2018 Yaris boasts everything from soft touch materials to a Cabin Air Filter and Electric Power Steering. You also get Macpherson Gas Struts up front and Coil Springs front and rear, which means that every ride will be smooth and comfortable.

  1. The look

You’ll be arriving in style to every gathering and event, as the new Yaris showcases an enviable mix of sweeping curves, chiselled lines, and an aerodynamic design. Best of all, you also have a range of modern colours to choose from, so you are sure to find a Yaris to suit your unique style and personality.
