Posted in: Toyota 3

Slim line? No, the S in the name of Verso not stands for. More for small. Even more spacious for spacious now verily is the four. Despite its modest length of only 3.99 metres, the successor of the Yaris in 2006 set counts Verso in the space big its class.

Good sense of space, good facilities if they take place in his well profiled seats, disappears every thought of small cars: good sense of space, also in the rear, ample leg and headroom under the huge glass roof (300 euros extra). The large trunk of the Toyota Verso S 430 litres and easily turns into a nearly flat 1,388 litre cargo area. The rear seat backs to be absenkende seats fall before pulling a grip on the sides of the trunk. A low edge and the wide-opening tailgate drives storage.

Despite ample use of hard plastic, the cockpit of the Toyota Verso S makes a good impression. Clear instruments with large buttons and the grip strategically positioned gear lever easy operation. Almost 20 practical shelves and drink boxes to increase the value. Even the base model of the Toyota Verso S offers a good range of facilities with seven airbags, ESP, driver’s seat, height adjustable Volant. From the line of life (plus 2,000 euros) there are among others a multimedia system with large touch screen and rear view camera, which can be useful the tiny rear wiper to assist.

Good suspension, unfeeling steering the adult character is also reflected in the ride, which is characterised by attractive suspension qualities and good sound insulation. Also, the Toyota Verso convinces S in the test with safe handling characteristics and good ease of handling, significantly contributing to the its smooth-running, but somewhat insensitive power steering. Approximately 90 percent share to the 4,600 planned Toyota Verso S sales from 1, 3-litre petrol engine marketing strategists expect. Run the cultivated, but require high speeds due to its distinctive through weakness. In conjunction with the standard, good resting six-speed transmission, he consumed 5.5 litres / 100 km in the standard cycle. For 1,745 euros stepless are from the line of life, to have CVT transmission S with seven motion programs multimedia drive and a start stop system, which both work well and reduce consumption to 5.0 litres. More economical driving the 1, 4-litre diesel with 90 HP in the Toyota Verso S: he limit himself to 4.3 liters and has much stronger despite similar performance, but it is also 2.350 euro more than the base model in the purchase.
