Yaris is available in either two or four doors with a truly energetic 16-valve VVT-i engine, and a spacious cabin, wrapped in some of the freshest sheet metal around.

Toyota Echo Exterior
The innovative technologies used in the 2008 Yaris, helps in delivering a ride that's as exciting as it is efficient. Its 1.5-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder is the most powerful engine of its size available. It offers Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) - advanced technology usually found only on more expensive vehicles. VVT-i optimizes the breathing of the engine by adjusting intake valve timing as engine speed and load vary. VVT-i adjusts performance to suit virtually any situation. The result is the best of all worlds: smooth idling, remarkable torque, surprising power and fuel-efficient cruising. To go with this sportier performance, the Yaris has got a rear roof spoiler, side skirts, chrome sports exhaust, LED tail lights and deeper front and rear bumpers, the front fitted with integrated fog lights.

“My latest Yaris is awesome! It is my first brand new car, and I am already in love with it. I find the handling great and it is really fun to drive on curvy roads. The interior of the car is a lot spacious than it looks from the outside. Take my word- Go for it.”
