Toyota Verso-S - Return of the Toyota mini-MPV

Below about Toyota Verso-S.

Previous iterations are sold in the UK - it sold only in Japan MK2 - repeatedly over 10,000 sales here. With Verso-S now has to fight against competition from the likes of Honda, Skoda and Vauxhall, the market has been much more difficult for Toyota when he left. And with the variety of retail dearest to £ 16 895, not the cheapest of the good little cabal.

Many employees live in the Fens CAR ironing board flat. The bad news for Toyota? Road Test Back-S was given to a correspondent who lived at the bottom of a hill in north London - as if there was an automatic thing CVT Our model came with did not like, so that the gradient.

Check up Mill Hill (a little over 400 meters, so as not to Scafell Pike) is a horrible experience. Sounds like every cell, each subdivision of the minutes of the capacity of 1.33 liter gasoline engine that is tense. The same is true for (all) the rapid acceleration of the toll road. Does the engine wailing banshee scream in pain or you are just as artic Dentressangle 10-wheel weighs on your back? Yes, once S Verso has compressed the way to highway speeds, it is very comfortable sitting there, but you have an option of the question - if you called that - one, seems to be less energetic, machine "options".

First drive Toyota Verso-S

Today's about Toyota Verso-S first drive.

Put an S at the end of a machine name and is usually for sport. But Toyota is breaking the mold with the new D-Verse - because this time is for small, elegant and spacious.

Towards the S is its new mini MPV, which prides itself on being small outside but big inside.

Towards the Tardis-like-S is one of the smallest vehicles in the segment of mini-MPV, but it's a full five-seater with a cargo area with two spacious floors.

And for the launch of the Japanese automaker to offer special prices for customers buying in the first six months of its sale on March 1.

The range starts with the six-speed manual version of TR, the usual price of £ 14 645, but for six months has offered a special price of £ 13.995.

Choose the version T-Spirit - which means you also get 16-inch alloy wheels, a full-length panoramic glass roof, tinted windows and rear electric windows all together - and will cost £ 14 995 today, but 15 745 pounds when the full price is introduced.

Both models are available with a six-speed manual or a CVT automatic transmission, which costs an additional £ 1000. "Early buy" savings, however, are available for the transmission you choose.

Space Race Wins By Toyota Verso-S

These about Toyota Verso-S wins the space race.

Toyota Ireland has launched its new small MPV in Ireland with an entry level price of €16,995.

The Verso-S is the successor to the Yaris Verso, which has not been sold in Europe since 2005.

In total there are 925 old Yaris Versos on Irish roads, including more than 500 that qualify for the current Government car scrappage scheme. The B-Segment MPV market currently accounts for 1.7 per cent of overall Irish car sales, with the Hyundai iX20 being the market leader for the year to date.

To avoid any confusion, the new Verso-S should be distinguished from the bigger Corolla-derived Verso. It is a smaller brother and is based on a new platform developed for a new Yaris hatchback due here in 2012.

The new Verso-S is powered by the familiar (also in the Auris and Corolla) 1.33 petrol engine which is in the B CO2 tax bracket here in manual gearbox form, while a CVT automatic variant puts it in Band A, but carries a premium of €1,200.

The 1.4 diesel option is not available in right hand drive and the stop/start will not be available here because it does not change the tax rating.

When it comes to size, Toyota says the new Verso-S is the smallest of the market’s mini-MPVs on the outside, but clever design and packaging ensures the space on offer inside is close to what you will find in a compact family hatchback. And while the generous and flexible loadspace makes it very practical, it is smart looking too.

The rear seats are divided 60:40 and have a simple one-touch flat-fold mechanism. Verso-S makes life even easier by providing additional control levers to fold the seats down on each side of the boot space – a feature not found on any of its mini-MPV rivals.

Around the cabin there are 19 separate storage points, including door pockets, bottle and cupholders, a tray beneath the front passenger seat, and a three-level dashboard compartment.

In Ireland it is being offered in three grades, Terra, Luna and Sol. The last includes a full length panoramic sunroof. However, while the Terra and Luna get a temporary spare wheel, the Sol has just a puncture repair kit. I figure this is to compensate for the extra weight of the large sunroof.

Also watch out for the Toyota Touch. It is the first multi-media system in a B-Segment MPV. And Toyota Ireland says it will be rolled out across the range when new models are introduced. It is not available as an aftersales option fit.

The Verso-S has a great driving position and powers along well. One downside - in very stormy conditions on one of the drives, the higher Verso-S with the lighter modern body was not so enjoyable. Other than that, it proved a stylish and functional mini-MPV that gets the job done like all Toyotas. The company hopes to sell 200 this year, rising to 400 in 2011. And I bet they will.

New Toyota Verso-S

Article about new Toyota Verso-S.

The new Toyota Verso-S has been announced - and it may impress green car finance seekers.

Individuals keen to reduce their carbon footprint and become more eco-friendly might be particularly interested in the model as it delivers "the lowest CO2 emissions and best fuel economy in the mini-MPV segment".

This is due to its 1.33-litre VVT-i petrol engine and when matched with a six-speed transmission the vehicle is able to deliver 127 g/km of CO2 on the combined cycle, as well as achieve a fuel economy of 51.4 mpg.

What's more, it can even manage emissions of just 120 g/km of CO2 thanks to the higher efficiency of the Multidrive S CVT.

The motor is on sale now with a starting price of £13,995 for the TR model.

Earlier this month, the manufacturer revealed its Toyota EV prototype model is set to be presented at the Geneva Motor Show.
