Toyota up-specs base Yaris

TOYOTA has upgraded its entry-level Yaris hatchback by adding Bluetooth and USB connectivity as standard.

The Yaris YR 1.3 three-door increases in price by $200 as a result, with Toyota’s least expensive model now priced at $15,890 ($17,490 auto), while the YR 1.3 five-door price rises to $17,090 ($18,690 auto).

The limited-edition Yaris Edge continues to be available (from $16,190, making it now just $300 more expensive), and adds Bluetooth/aux-in, a six-CD player with LCD display, front foglights, branded mats and 15-inch alloy wheels.

Production of Australia’s upgraded Yaris YR 1.3 commences in August.
