The new 2012 Yaris will be offered in both three-door and five-door models, ranging in MSRP starting at $14,115 for the first one, and for $17,200 for the five-door SE version.
The new Yaris is powered by a 1.5-liter engine, producing 106 horsepower at rate 6,000 rpm, and 103 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. This engine has the ability to be paired up with a new four-speed electronically controlled transmission, or a five-speed manual available on the L and SE models.
All 2012 Toyota Yaris vehicles include:
- Power steering
- Power locks
- Six cup holders
- Storage cover for the cargo area
- Air conditioning
- Halogen headlights
- "Cold Weather Package" in the base version.
These are only the standard devices, you can get more out of your Yaris. Some of the great options available are: Audio connectivity via USB and auxiliary ports and standard MP3/WMA player, to help you rock out on the way to work or class. On the other hand, the LE and SE versions both come equipped with HD radio system including six speakers and Bluetooth. Additionally, the LE comes with keyless entry, power windows and audio controls on the steering wheel. But best of all, the EPA fuel economy on next year's Yaris comes in at an amazing 38 highway on all variants.
With great entertainment options and a low price tag, Toyota seem to be right on target to appeal to young drivers.
