Toyota Vitz

Making a big design statement, the new Vitz features softly contoured lines punctuated by bold swept-back headlights, teardrop rear light clusters and a distinctive chrome grille. Unique detailing on range-topping XR models lifts the aesthetic by adding front fog lamps, glossy smoked 15-inch alloys as well as colour-matched door handles and exterior mirrors. The new Vitz X-Cite model ups the styling ante by introducing X-Citing orange accents garnishing the front fog lamps, while also adorning the rear spoiler. It’s further echoed in the unique X-Cite badging and the flash of orange brushing the protective grey side moulding which is unique to this model.

Thanks to its twin-injection, three-cylinder 1.0-litre engine, the new Vitz delivers best-in-class fuel consumption: 4,4 L per 100km for the manual and 4,2 L/100 km for the AMT (Automated Manual Transmission). AMT combines all the convenience of an auto with the optimised fuel consumption of a manual. Reinforcing the fuel-saving and eco credentials of both models is the standard stop-start feature which automatically switches the engine off when you’re stationary and seamlessly starts it up again as you move off.

The spacious interior boasts a variety of in-cabin storage including multiple cupholders and a class-leading 295 litres boot. Power steering (tilt-adjustable*) enhances your drive, while air-conditioning, remote central locking*, power windows/mirrors*, steering wheel controls and rear Park Distance Control (PDC) guarantee convenience. On the connectivity front, XR models come standard with a four-speaker sound system as part of the integrated infotainment featuring Bluetooth and USB functionality. Apple Carplay and Android Auto make navigating a breeze. *Available on XR models
