Toyota, which made a late entry to the SA light car market with the Yaris hatchback late last year, has added a four-door version to the mix. Prices for the Yaris Sedan, which will compete with VW’s Polo- and Opel’s Corsa Classic ranges, start at R121 120.
Toyota’s newcomer, which was also recently launched in Australia, the US and Canada, will start rolling out of Toyota’s local dealerships next month. Targeted at “price conscious young family buyers”, the Sedan has a virtually flat floorpan in front of the rear seats, nine storage compartments placed throughout the interior and the boot capacity is 426 litres, which can be expanded to 738 litres (loaded to the level of the top of the front seat backrest) depending on the particular configuration of the car’s Easy Flat seating system.
Apart from the addition of a boot section, the Sedan can be told apart from the hatchback by virtue of its curved belt-line, single-slat grille and trapezoidal headlights. The 4-door appears more svelte, grown-up and less MPV-like than the hatch version of the Yaris.
The entry-level Sedan T3 (with air-conditioning) costs R121 120. The T3+ offers added specification at R128 820, while the top-of-the-range T3 Spirit sells for R140 620. The T3 Spirit A/T costs R150 260.
