The current popular Toyota Yaris has been with us since 2005 and it’s
about due for an update. The light-car segment success story is
destined for a replacement next-year and here is the first sign of it.
If you’re wondering how that can possibly be the new Yaris, it’s not.
It’s a mule spotted in Europe testing brakes and cooling. The strange
test vehicle appears to be put together with parts from both a Yaris and
Auris (Corolla), it appears to be both longer and wider than the
current Yaris.
Little is known about Toyota’s work on the new Yaris. We can only
suspect engines will be an improvement over the current ones and new
engine variants will join the line up.
