Minor changes to styling, while equipment levels and safety are improved

Toyota has launched a revised Yaris for 2010.

The exterior styling changes are minimal, with minor changes to the headlights and bumpers. The main changes come in the top-spec TR model, which gets new 15-inch alloy wheels, dark-tinted headlamp glass, matte silver-finish doorhandles and new fog lights in the front bumper.

Toyota has also further boosted the safety of the five-star Euro NCPA Yaris TR, as it now gets curtain airbags and a driver’s knee airbag as standard.

Inside, the Yaris benefits from a new sports instrument display and new upholstery design, while the 1.3 Dual VVT-i- and 1.4 D-4D-powered models get leather trim on the steering wheel and gearknob.

There are three engines available with the Yaris: the aforementioned petrol and diesel models, as well as a 1.0 VVT-I petrol example. All engines emit less than 120g/km of CO2, while the 1.33-litre model comes with stop-start and a six-speed manual gearbox.

Prices start at £10,040 for the 1.0-litre Yaris T2, and the 2010 models are available to order now.

The third-gen Yaris was ahead of its time thanks to hybrid technology – but does it still appeal as a used buy?
