2021 Toyota Yaris

A great fit for Sunshine Coast commuters, first-car buyers, students and downsizers wanting an easy-to-drive hatch with low running costs, modern connectivity and impressive safety technology.

The Yaris Ascent Sport is powered by Toyotas 1.5L three-cylinder Dynamic Force petrol engine producing 88kW and 145Nm. Matched to a Direct Shift CVT and front-wheel drive, it feels light and responsive around town while remaining comfortable for highway trips and everyday Sunshine Coast commuting.

With combined consumption as low as 4.9L/100km, this Yaris is built to keep trips to the fuel station to a minimum. A 40L tank and compatibility with regular 91 RON unleaded make it a particularly sensible choice for regular runs between Caloundra, Maroochydore, Nambour and Noosa.

At just 3,940mm long, the Yaris is perfectly sized for busy streets and tight shopping-centre spaces. Its compact footprint and easy manoeuvrability make it especially appealing to first-car buyers and commuters, while the five-door layout still provides convenient access for passengers and everyday gear.

A 7-inch touchscreen brings Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity into the cabin, alongside Bluetooth and DAB+ digital radio. Behind the rear seats youll find approximately 270L of luggage space, with split-folding rear seats providing extra flexibility for groceries, gym bags, beach gear and weekend essentials.

Safety is a real strength, with Toyota Safety Sense including autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Intersection Turn Assistance, All-Speed Active Cruise Control, Lane Trace Assist and Road Sign Assist. Eight SRS airbags, including a front-centre airbag, plus a reversing camera help provide even greater reassurance for everyday driving.
