Toyota to show special European edition of Yaris

(September 17, 2012) Toyota will show its special European Yaris Trend edition for 2013 at the Paris Motor Show on Sept. 27. Toyota says that with its exterior styling elements and dedicated interior finishes, textures and colors, it’s aimed at younger customers for who make fashionable design a priority.

As well as having distinctive looks, Yaris Trend retains the fundamental qualities that set it apart from the supermini pack. It may be the most compact car in its class, but clever Toyota packaging means there is class-leading space inside. It also has the tightest turning circle — 15.4 feet — making it a master of maneuvering in tight city streets and parking spaces.



Yaris Trend has been styled to amplify the most dynamic elements of the Yaris range, reinforcing the vehicle’s distinctive character by emphasizing the horizontal lines and strengthening the link between the interior and exterior design.

Details around the front end that distinguish the 2013 Yaris Trend include chrome elements in the fog light surrounds and headlamps. Versions with white paint have matching white covers in the headlamp units.

The model retains its blacked out B and C-pillars that create a floating roof effect, and there are chrome door sills and door mirror covers.

The two-tone 16-inch alloy wheels have machine-finished surfaces and there is a distinctive Deco line surface detail that runs back across the bodywork from the headlights.

At the rear there is a roof spoiler and hybrid-style LED lamp clusters.

The 2013 Yaris Trend with Deco line will be available in white or silver, colors chosen to maximize its visual impact; versions without the Deco line will be offered in the full range of Yaris exterior finishes.
