Yaris Hybrid for Geneva
Toyota has confirmed that a petrol-hybrid version of its Yaris supermini will be making its public debut at March’s Geneva Motor Show.
Combining a new 1.5 litre engine with a downsized Hybrid Synergy Drive system, the car’s drivetrain will deliver an output of 98 bhp (74 kW / 100 PS). No performance, range or efficiency figures have been released, but Toyota is claiming that the Yaris Hybrid will offer best-in-class CO2 emissions.
Importantly for what is a comparatively small bodyshell, all of the HSD components have been squeezed in without stealing any passenger space or reducing the luggage capacity.
Distinguishing the Yaris Hybrid from other less green variants is a redesigned front end that features unique treatments for the grille, lights and lower air intake.
No word on pricing yet, but European sales are due to begin sometime in 2012.
