When Toyota launched the Yaris Verso already more than a year ago posed a radically new car. Not a minivan to use, but is in the size of the segment B, where the Polo cars or enter Berlingo like Ibiza, but has no utilitarian vocation or trade. Logically, it is a little wider than those models (1.690 mm) and significantly higher (1680 mm). At first glance one thinks that a quick and sharp curve, so high and so little length, the car is at risk of tipping over. Nothing is further from reality. longish a battle (more than normal Yaris) and very low height above the ground situated gravity point far below. If this is that the track width (distance between wheels on one axle) is quite good, the car very stable and provides a cornering as relaxed. It is your goal: take a family apace without that small den boats for the back seat.


Outside, the car is interesting. A very studied design provides a very successful aerodynamics for such a tall vehicle. The front of the car is in line with the Yaris, with its T-shaped grille and headlights very high. Where more noticeable developments is on the side. The Verso has a high waist line, which gives it a striking appearance of robustness. However, it is not a car that has looks awkward. So resounding that side is relieved areas with different depths, which lightens the burden fairly sheet and gives a more vivid air. Behind, we must mention the great gate a road giving access to the trunk. His mouth fits any load.

Once inside, it’s another world. What the outside looked small and becomes really spare room. Above all up: a basketball player would go on it without even touching the ceiling. The front seats are very comfortable, especially the driver, who leads all instruments at your fingertips. The passenger compartment is fully modular, so that the rear seats are removed in an instant and retract under a false floor: result, background backplane completely and without a load capacity of 2,160 liters seats. This innovative solution is the highlight of the interior. The rest is best known. Many gaps and glove boxes, flashlights, dashboard focused on the driver and to his right, optional navigation system GPS, compact disk, front airbags, optional also incorporate side … The worst thing is the poor soundproofing interior.
