new toyota vitz-yaris details and video 2012

Toyota has released the first details about the redesigned 2012 new Vitz / Yaris.

Designed to express agility and sophistication, the Vitz features aerodynamic styling which mimics the rest of the Toyota lineup. Overall, the car measures 3,885mm long and rides a wheelbase that has been stretched by 50mm.

Under the hood, three petrol engines will be offered: a 68 hp (51 kW /69 PS) 1.0-liter, a 93 hp (69 kW / 94 PS) 1.3-liter, and a 107 hp (80 kW / 108 PS) 1.5-liter. Detailed specifications haven't been released, but the 1.3-liter features Dual VVT-i (Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) and stop/start technology which enables it to get a class-leading fuel economy rating of 3.8 L/100km (62 mpg US). A continuously variable transmission (CVT) will be standard on most models (in Japan), but a five-speed manual is also available.
