Nuova Yaris 2012, l'utilitaria Toyota che costa come una city car

E' tra le avversarie più accreditate per intralciare il più possibile la presumibile marcia trionfale della nuove Fiat Panda e Fiat Punto nel mercato auto del 2012. Naturalmente restringendo il campo all'ambito nazionale. Perchè, a livello mondiale, almeno per ora, non c'è storia.
Stiamo parlando della nuova Yaris 2012 del colosso giapponese Toyota, da sempre tra le utilitarie più amate dagli italiani. Tolti i modelli del gruppo del Lingotto e le due compatte di casa Ford, Focus e Fiesta, per il resto è battaglia aperta. E c'è da scommetterci, la casa nipponica si farà valere, forte di un legame speciale con l'Italia - che assorbe quasi il 20% delle vendite su scala europea - e di una nuova Yaris che da un paio di mesi ha fatto la sua comparsa nelle concessionarie.
Una terza versione, questa del 2012, dal temperamento più aggressivo nel design e nelle dimensioni, che sottraggono due cm in altezza e ne aggiungono dieci centimetri in lunghezza. Immutate le qualità di spazio interno, che a suo tempo le fecero meritare il nomigmolo di "Piccolo Genio", c'è da registrare un surplus di comfort nell'abitacolo e un deciso salto in avanti sul piano dell'hi tech, con il nuovo display Toyota Touch a recitare la parte del leone. A corredare il tutto, un tetto panoramico interamente in cristallo e una rinnovata linea dei sedili e dei portelloni dallo spessore ridotto.
Quanto alle motorizzazioni, confermata la gamma delle passate edizioni: due motori benzina (1.0 VVT-i e 1.3 Dual VVT-i) e un turbodiesel (1.4 D-4D), tutti dotati della tecnologia Toyota Optimal Drive per massimizzare le prestazioni e ridurre consumi ed emissioni.
Le novità arrivano dalle trasmissioni, perchè a fianco del 5 rapporti manuale, la versione benzina da 1.3l monterà un sistema Multidrive S a sei rapporti, impreziosito dalla nuova funzione “override” per il passaggio sequenziale 7 rapporti. In vendita dallo scorso ottobre ad un prezzo di entrata di 11 mila euro,  l'utlitaria di casa Toyota è proposta in quattro diversi allestimenti (Entry, Active, Style e Lounge).

2011 Toyota Hilux

  2011 Toyota Hilux
The new Toyota Hilux is here and it comes with new body panels, new audio systems, anti-skid brakes as standard across the range … and best of all, some price reductions on on SR and SR5 variants.
Oh and in a vehicle that already had 32 variants Toyota has added three more to the range but at the same time they cut four V6 petrol variants from the range … so there’s a wider range to choose from but not as wide as it could have been.
It would be easy to get bogged down in the technical details of all those 35 variants so instead we’ll just look at the three basic models in the new Toyota Hilux range.



Engine and transmission
The new Toyota Hilux comes with a choice of three engines ranging from an inline four-cylinder and V6 petrol engine to a four-cylinder common-rail turbo-diesel.
The four-cylinder petrol engine is Toyota’s 2.7-litre 2TR-FE that comes with variable valve technology and twin counter-rotating balancing shafts along with a torsional rubber damper in the crankshaft pulley to reduce noise and vibration.
2011 Toyota Hilux 
Maximum power from this engine is 116kW at 5,200rpm and maximum torque is 240Nm at 3,800rpm. Toyota has matched this engine to a five-speed manual or four-speed auto transmission and that combination gives 11.0L/100km for the manual and 11.5L/100km for the auto for the combined cycle
The V6 petrol engine is Toyota’s 4.0-litre 1GR-FE that comes with variable valve technology. Maximum power for this engine is 175kW at 5,200rpm and maximum torque is 343Nm at 2,400rpm for the manual version and 376Nm at 3,800rpm for the five-speed automatic. Fuel consumption is 12.6L/100km for the manual and 11.8L/100km for the auto.
The diesel engine is Toyota’s 1KD-FYV DOHC 16-valve unit that’s turbocharged and intercooled. It delivers 126kW of power at 3,600rpm and 343Nm of torque between 1,400 and 3,400rpm.

2011 Toyota Corolla Interior upgrades are even more subtle is limited to a new location in color and design, covering a wide range of dashboard and doors, plus a new three-spoke sport steering wheel in the 2011 Toyota Corolla S.

2011 Toyota Yaris
2011 Toyota Yaris
The 2011 Toyota Yaris is one of a handful of models from Toyota that were recalled due to handling problems. With the reputation of Toyota, there are only two things you will expect – a perfectly working car or something that should be recalled. Fortunately, the 2011 Yaris is something that should be praised because it works well and offers something great to car owners.
The 2011 Yaris is a hatchback with very impressive mileage. It’s rate at 29mpg on city which is very impressive in its class. It can even reach up to 25mpg in an open road which pushes the boundary of an earth friendly vehicle. Of course, it comes with some disadvantages such as a lack of power but hatchbacks are built for city driving and the mileage alone is a very impressive feature.
But aside from mileage, the hatchback is built for family-type handling. The 2011 Yaris is offered in two transmission modes – the five gear manual transmission or the four gear automatic transmission. Either way, handling is a breeze in this vehicle. And because of the physical makeup of a hatchback, storing items for a long haul is not a problem.
If there’s one thing that should be criticized about the car, it is its slightly cramped seating. The seats are pushed forward so that additional space could be added in the back. But with a little bit of adjustment, this should not be a problem. Another concern is that the base price ($13,655 - $14,415) comes with very basic amenities and add-ons could be costly.
