Where the hybrid model is concerned, engineers have focused on
achieving an even quieter ride, particularly under acceleration, intro-
ducing a raft of measures including new engine mounts, roll restrictor,
front driveshafts and subframe. The design of the new engine mounts
and adjustments to the shock absorbers and electric power steering
have also improved the hybrids ride comfort and steering accuracy.

garnish details in the lower bumper, edged with reflector and finished
with a pattern of straked, horizontal lines.
Two new colours have been added to the range of paint finishes for
the Yaris Hydro Blue and Tokyo Red, taking the total to 10 different
shades.

INTERIOR DESIGN
The focus for changes to the Yaris interior was to keep the look and
ambience of the cabin feeling fresh and modern, introducing new
upholsteries, colours and trim details and upgrading the instrumen-
tation and controls to ensure excellent ergonomics and HMI (hu-
man-machine interface) performance.
The combimeter in the drivers instrument binnacle has a new bi-
nocular arrangement of twin analogue dials flanking a new 4.2-inch
colour TFT multi-information display, fitted as standard from Mid
grade. Different information and vehicle data can be selected and
adjusted using control switches on the three-spoke steering wheel,
which itself has a new look with the addition of piano black trim inserts
(on Mid grade and higher). A new chrome trim frames the combimeter,
adding to the more refined effect.
Other detail changes include new propeller-style air vents, cool blue
instrument illumination and a more streamlined, seamless execution
of the multimedia screen and controls in the centre console, including
new switches that are both neater in appearance and easier to oper-
ate.
14
NEW UPHOLSTERIES, TRIMS AND COLOUR OPTIONS
The new Yaris offers customers more choice in terms of interior finish,
with new, co-ordinated upholstery and trim colour options that har-
monise the cabins appearance.
The entry level model combines a grey instrument panel insert with
new black cloth upholstery with a distinctive houndstooth check de-
sign for the centre seatback and cushion. For the new Mid grade the
cloth has a smart black/grey gradation pattern and the instrument
panel insert and upper door trims are in a toning dark grey with a soft-
touch finish and animal grain pattern. On Mid+ models the same up-
holstery is used, with a black instrument panel and door trim.
For Bi-tone versions of the new Yaris, there is a dedicated interior
treatment for each exterior colour choice: blue with blue/black, bur-
gundy with red/black, warm grey with bronze/black and black with
white/black. The colour detailing covers the instrument panel insert
and door trims, plus inserts in the seatbacks and edging to the seat-
back and cushion bolsters.

that the engine can switch from the Otto to the Atkinson cycle to gain
optimum efficiency in different driving conditions.
The higher compression ratio has been made possible by the combus-
tion chamber design and new pistons, which promote a homogenous
air/petrol mixture and rapid combustion. Cooled EGR reduces combus-
tion temperature and also helps prevent engine knocking. Furthermore,
the volume of reinjected inert gases allows for a reduction in pumping
losses at low and medium loads, improving overall engine efficiency.
The adoption of a new variable inlet valve timing system VVT-iE*
allows the engine to switch from the Otto to the Atkinson cycle (and
vice-versa) in a fraction of a second. Controlled electronically, closure of
the intake valve is delayed, reducing the compression phase and further
helping reduce pumping losses (Atkinson cycle), and enabling a prompt
return to the Otto cycle for better performance under high loads The
phase shift of the exhaust camshaft is hydraulically controlled.
The engineers also focused on improving fuel consumption at sus-
tained motorway cruising speeds, leading to the use for the first time
on a Toyota of a water-cooled exhaust manifold. By limiting the gas
temperature, this avoids the need for mixture enrichment to reduce
combustion temperature at any motorway driving speed. As a result,
both fuel consumption and exhaust emissions are reduced.
In common with other Toyota ESTEC engines, the 1.5-litre unit bene-
fits from the latest measures designed to reduce friction losses.

NEW YARIS GRMN
SUPERCHARGED ENGINE
The Yaris GRMN is unique in the European hot hatch market in being
powered by a supercharged engine. This highly responsive 1.8-li-
tre unit will produce more than 210 DIN hp, driving the front wheels
through a six-speed manual transmission and enabling best-in-class
times both for the sprint from nought to 100 km/h and acceleration
from 80 to 120 km/h in fourth gear.
30
CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION
To ensure the engines prodigious power is translated into a genuinely
rewarding drive, the Yaris GRMN has a reinforced chassis with additional
bracing, including an extra bar between the front suspension towers.
It benefits from suspension tuned through extensive testing on the
Nrburgrings Nordschleife with significant input from Toyota GAZOO
Racings motorsport activities, plus a Torsen limited-slip differential for
better traction and handling. Shorter springs allow the car to hug the
ground more closely and these are teamed with dedicated shock ab-
sorbers developed with Sachs and a larger diameter front stabiliser bar.
The car is also equipped with highly efficient performance brakes,
with large ventilated discs and four-pot front callipers.
SPORTS STYLING
The Yaris GRMNs performance credentials are clearly broadcast in its
styling. Offered exclusively in three-door form, it rides on BBS 17-inch
multi-spoke alloys and is fitted with a bespoke, black wing-type rear
spoiler.
The features included dedicated front and rear bumper designs, a
rear diffuser and a distinctive centre exhaust tailpipe.
The cabin is an equal expression of the Yaris GRMNs performance
focus, with front sports seats designed specifically for the car by Toyota
Boshoku, providing the best-in-class body holding and support.
The authentic performance details include a small-diameter, leather-
wrapped steering wheel shared with the GT86 that incorporates a
centre line mark to help the driver with accurate car positioning. There
is also an aluminium sports pedal set and a redesigned combi meter
that reflect the cars special sporting character.
