2020 Toyota Yaris / Toyota Car / Interior & Exterior
2020 Toyota Yaris exterior and interior: A lot of cars are going more and more aggressive throughout the generations or even sport maybe it's a little bit sportier than before but we can see that also in this new generation. They kept a rather friendly style however wide opening here for the front grille here also with high gloss black accentuate ins in this trim and new headlamps but they kept really the base character of this vehicle.
2020 Toyota Yaris
The headlamps will always feature some kind of LED extent it depends on how much on the trim level of the headlamp so whereas new generations of those new cars get bigger and bigger and bigger. Toyota decided here to keep it small. So, still below this four meters threshold like it was before more than way less than 160 inches. So, they didn't want to make it any bigger I think it's also a good decision because you know people still need small cars and not only bigger and bigger and bigger cars.
Herewith those big 17-inch wheels, those ones are optional of course it starts with smaller ones and again the rather round design not too many dramatic design lines here at this side but then this one area is really interesting you know is that rather round curve in here like stamped in and then again it creates some kind of stronger shoulders or wheel arches right there. This one here also in a contrasting roof color again not a super revolution.
If you compared to the predecessor but overall they again kept this rather likable roundish design however it gets a little bit you know more extravagant here right at the rear at the tail ends and if we dig into the details. This one here is actually half a centimeter shorten extra length than before but five centimeters longer in wheelbase that will have an effect on the interior at the same time it's about four centimeters flatter than the predecessor and what's also interesting.
This one here mainly built for Europe in Japan it will feature the very platform but we'll be a little bit narrower to fit a little bit more narrow streets in Japan interesting to know that they built the same platform car but then within a little variation. Any need those tailings they form some kind of wing it's very interesting so this isn't the most spectacular sight of the all-new 2020 Toyota Yaris and if we also think about what's underneath this is here built on the TNG a platform but then they are like you know sub platforms for this global platform for the smaller mid-sized.
Also for the bigger vehicles and this is the first one here on this small sub-platform of this global architecture, the 2020 Toyota Yaris which is on the master to base. We presently at you in Los Angeles Motor Show this one than the real all-new generation it's an all-new car also platform wisely so and you can see here this is again the most modern shape of the car you can see you do lose some trunk space. If you have this dramatic design on the exterior, yeah but then you have something more to show at least as engines.
2020 Toyota Yaris Engine
You'll get a 1 liter naturally aspirated petrol engine at 1.5 na engines or also naturally aspirated petrol engine and the main engine will be new this one here the 1.5 hybrids so 1.5 liters of displacement naturally as petrol engine made it to this Toyota hybrid system internal hybrid. You cannot recharge us from the outside but you always have this battery as a buffer to have some electric situations. In the city and so far with our other Toyota tests that worked actually quite well even for Toyota Camry.
We had like 5 liters or 100 kilometers consumption which is Paradiso and of course, can be lower for a vehicle in size like this and what's particularly interesting whereas the other hybrid engines are based on for Celyn engines here for 2020 Toyota Yaris or the artist we say for example in Germany. All three-cylinder engines no matter, if you go hybrid.
2020 Toyota Yaris Interior
First looking at the interior force or door closing sound yeah why not it's not too bad and then instead of the doorstop party is hard plastic then there's a beautiful gray fabric interior lines a little bit of Tydeus. It's getting avian furniture design oh this is you know like not sure if it's just a prototype of I mean at some point. They also want to offer a decent price so maybe we can expect more in this case door pocket. Here this should also fit for some bottles yes and then we have a new layout here with a new steering wheel that looks a little sport.
Those gauges interesting you know round left and right looks joyful definitely and with a digital screen on the inside and what you can always see right here this one here is a real head-up display this, lets new interesting new option for the car and softer touch also here at the top of the dashboard then those are the sporty seats with fabric on the inside and leatherette on the outside and it's supposed to be, a nice sporty option.
There was a little bit more shoulder support in this overall sporty trim of the car so taking a CTA I need those spots each day of a lot of support so unusual big seats than for a small vehicle like this and you know that's pretty positive. So, I guess for 12 people a spot seat might also make sense indeed as for the comfort steering wheel can be adjusted up and down and also towards you and back again and you're looking at those new gauges is really fun.
They just look fun summer and I can always see something of the head-up display which looks pretty clear and crisp that's pretty cool optional JBL sound system is indeed also built in here and well this one here has a panoramic roof that cannot be opened like no like, totally open but you can use those shades. It's like half and half like you know right here just use the other hand push and then we can go back again and then you can also close the other half like.
This circuit closed it totally and then yeah interesting system, yeah you push it back again so Headroom wise meet with one with eighty-six or six with one so that that approximately works yeah so still also works and they mean panoramic roof like those. They shouldn't cost you too much. Headroom you know it's different when you can open something like this so the first impression is actually quite cozy and more comfortable than before the cockpit over.
The new layout left it again with those new instruments that look that joyful steering wheel right side for cruise control left that then to control something from the steam wheel or for example to pick up the phone and so on on the right side. This new infotainment system will just kinda be attached on there but that you can reach it from here this one here GPS view. You can see you can zoom out we actually not in Madrid nothing amps them. So, map hotkey, they are volume button right here on the right side to scroll through radio.
For example phone you can register here we are Bluetooth and set up just you know brief overview of that one here and there was also a Wi-Fi function available and so on vehicle control, the software does not look that up to date. Then this one here is also hot pack top Otto have a soft touch still classic climate controls here in the lower part that's actually quite good quality then if we go further down, there's all seating available inductive charging that for your phone.
The EC VT they use for their hybrids so not a real CVT but they call it e CVT and then also will be driving modes available or for some of this every mode where the evey driving will be still stressed nonadaptive capoulosse in the lower parts. So you know that might be a problem if they're not kept tight and this armrest. Some more space and no yes it's still quite solid and also softer the top part and here we go with a closeup of the head of this base supposed to be 10-inch and you can see the current speed.
2020 Toyota Yaris Assitance system
There will be the allowed speed and also some assistance system information and indeed. The assistance system has been upgraded majorly like a side sis and also even at least in some markets the see we'll be standard what's also interesting safety system wise so here on the co-driver seat. At the moment yes we always call with co-driver seat because that's somehow. You know really inspired here yes the airbag and this car here from Stan equipment will for the first time.
In this segment here this very small segment features ahead of Arabic so increasing the safety definite so a very good idea and also to make it standard equipment and yay finally epic open-ended auto is also available here for the Toyotas in Europe. So far the license only for us you can see here in the new Yaris it will also feature apple car play and android auto or we connect my music to that and it will also be introduced by the way in other Toyota models now when they come with an update for example for the CHR with a new hybrid engine.
For example so or when the next facelifts come and so on for the new model year. So, there's light at the end of the tunnel as for the connectivity. Especially, since you know the rest of the entertainment is not so up-to-date this one will be probably your solution. So as for the rear door hardly opens you can see here that can be a problem like you in installing child seats and so on there are Isofix covers. You can take a look here also with the sporty design here in the rear also fix at the outset of the seats the also has the possibility to have a third passenger in the middle.
Of course, you know someone limited and for adults but again the rear door hardly opens that much and when I'm driving in the front, yeah that's it doesn't look like that but indeed I can put my feet under the seat even in the lowest position and I mean I hardly even directly hit my knees here but not hard. You know that's actually I can sit here like boom wise exactly Headroom wise my hands are touching. The ceiling but I mean I can still fit here I mean just think about it.
2020 Toyota Yaris small family car
It's a very small car so the package to my belief has been improved. There's also not a huge middle tunnel, so we can you know move around you're quite good but then here now this middle part is a little bit higher. So, yeah is more like for outside seats but again considering the car is by no means longer. The package of the car due to this new platform has been improved and you do flip the seats from here by the way and now we take a look at the trunk and we can open it right here.
So, what do we lose or what to be gained first of all the dimensions look actually quite square so that's the loading sill here but there will also be no possibility to put them. This cover-up and this one here are at the lowest position at the moment but then yeah you can put it out here. Okay like this so then you have a rather even sill so depends on if you want to transport something which is higher. When you use everything or if you want it a little bit easier to load in and out.
So that's definitely an interesting approach and what about the length and the measurement. So, this one here is 64 centimeters in length and here it's a little bit less than a meter in width and height. Here are 38 centimeters but again you can as a first showed you gain some centimeters. If you put this one here in the lowest position again and you can also flip the seats from here because it's short enough. There we go and to the seat is I would be driving yes rather you know 12 passenger that's then.
2020 Toyota Yaris features
Let's see here one meter 35 and you know you're here with us on ultra fuel to get the most details about all the new vehicles and that's why we also present the cutaway model to you. So, what Toyota has done here? They painted actually new stuff in blue so what they have especially done to increase the torsional stiffness for example in the front you can see a full circle, it goes all the way around to give you better stiffness you can see here those are McPherson suspension.
In the front McPherson struts they are also supposed to give you better comfort than before and what's also interesting here by a cross from left to the right also from you know the suspension domes and that's what you usually folks times are fine in a rally car but here the standard in the B segment vehicle so although a 30% increase of stiffness in the body stiffness and well what how do you feel that. Well, you feel that the car is not you know flexing that much that gives you more driving fun, and also the whole driving position is moved more inward to the car.
2020 Toyota Yaris seats color
A different color variation of those new seats and stinger you might note from the generation before was more you know like you look down on it now it's more upright also has a sporty position and you can also pull it more towards you that's especially good for taller drive and Stephanie and I really appreciated here another stiffness bar that goes all around from left to the right and this is then connected also to the steering wheel, which again should give you a more direct input to what you feel.
What you drive then? there's another measuring you can see also the blue-painted parts right there I mean this is not blue paint in your real vehicle then but just for demonstration purposes here. So, that's done you know for the longitudinal stiffness, here you can see the new battery and well they used more steel for this Toyota Yaris 2020 car.
Toyota Yaris 2020 interior parts
So, that you could think of how it brings up the weight but actually due to this new battery which they moved from the metal hydride battery here, now to the lithium young that's lighter than and so they can overall keep up the weight and even reduce it about twenty to thirty kilograms. Torsion beam and to read this one, on the one hand, they have made everything stiffer again but you can see here the dampers themselves. You know themselves they are actually a little bit softer than before so overall you know with it more steel stiffer chassis but at the same time softer suspension.
You can have a sporty but yet more comfortable ride that's true well we find out in the driving review very soon and now to our conclusion for today with the all-new 2020 Toyota Yaris. Here for the European version, Japan a little bit narrow, and also some Asian countries in the US as I said there will be the Yaris. A little bit lower the car itself is a little flatter without losing Headroom and although the car is a little bit shorter a little bit longer wheelbase.
You have actually more legroom on the rear than before so that's actually good so considering the length of the car which is still very short it's actually quite a good package on the inside. Exterior styling, not a revolution quite you know fresher than before but still with a rather round and likable design, yeah the rear is a little bit more daring definitely but on the inside.
Some new materials new infotainment if you want so, however, the software is not really up to date but then it's great that we now have two epic a PI or Android auto connection then you can use your maps and you know music stuff anyway and you know to leave the software of this infotainment system cool that we have a head-up display and how those additional safety systems adaptive cruise control Lane.
