Toyota will premier at least three new cars at the Geneva International Motor Show next week. First up is the new Toyota Verso which features Toyota Easy Flat-7 system that folds the rear seats individually and quickly for good spacial use.
Toyota says its Optimal Drive system improves fuel economy by up to 20% and cuts emissions by 12%. New 1.6-litre and 1.8-litre petrol engines are offered. A 2.0-litre turbo diesel and a 2.2-litre diesel will be available. Toyota will give customers a choice of either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a new 6-speed automatic.
A second model the new Prius will be shown in public for the first time at Geneva. The car is a new design and improves fuel economy by up to 10%. Prius features head-up display, Toyota’s Intelligent Parking System, a solar-powered ventilation system that helps keep the car cool when it’s parked outside in the scorching sun and it has more power.
Finally the IQ makes its debut. The IQ is said to be the world’s smallest four-seater car. It uses a 74kW 1.33 engine for its power. Toyota says it’s capable of returning 4.2 litres/100km in average fuel usage.
For now only the Prius has been confirmed as coming to South Africa later this year. The Verso is also a strong possibility given its sales success here.
