Yaris sedan goes YRX

TOYOTA Australia has introduced a sporting YRX version of its Yaris sedan, priced from $20,290 for the manual and $21,790 for the automatic.

Unique features over other sedan variants include a six-CD in-dash stereo, 15 x 5.5-inch alloy wheels, front foglights and an "aero bodykit" which comprises a front and rear spoiler and side and rear skirts.

Side and curtain airbags are available for an extra $750, but stability control is not available.

As is the case with the three-door and five-door YRX hatchbacks, there is no performance advantage over the 80kW 1.5-litre engine used on lower-spec (YRS) models.
