There’s a reason the Corolla was Australia’s best-selling passenger car for 2020, for the 8th year in a row. That’s all to do with the sexy design that has it’s every line and curve pointing forwards. Bring it on.Īnd what are our customers saying? Well, we often hear that the Yaris looks fast – even while it’s parked. The new Yaris is filled with Toyota’s cutting-edge intelligent safety technology, so you know your family will be safe, and if you choose the Hybrid model – it even charges as you drive! It’s also 15% more fuel-efficient yet 10% more powerful than the previous generation Petrol Yaris. There’s even a range of optional roof rack accessories to match if you can’t fit it all in. Yes, while the new Yaris may be small – it maximises storage with fold down seats and extra space underneath the floor of the boot. Good things really do come in small packages.

Safety always comes first, and this baby comes with Toyota’s Pre-Collision Safety System, Road Sign Assist, Active Cruise Control, eight airbags, and optional AWD which means you tread carefully when you need it most. The 2021 Yaris Cross is built to slip down those narrow city lanes and through underground carparks, without compromising all the power and stability of an SUV.īut don’t be mistaken – the Yaris Cross is also designed to get out there and explore! One thing our customers have been complimenting is its elevated ride, meaning the Yaris Cross rides higher than a conventional hatchback – making it perfect for those weekend road trip adventures. And Renault’s hybrid variant of the Clio is also added to the list of 2019-rated vehicles, with similar performance to the combustion-engined car tested last year.If you’re not quite ready to say goodbye to the cabin space of a smaller SUV, but you need something that thrives in tight gaps – this one could be for you. In addition to this new assessment, Audi’s e-tron Sportback variant shares its stablemate’s 2019 five-star rating. We have had to adapt quickly to new working practices, and it is pleasing that the first car rated this year should have gone so far to address the safety issues that are emerging as top priorities.”

This has been a tough year for all concerned and I am grateful to Euro NCAP’s labs and employees who have worked hard to deliver safety, while staying safe. The Yaris also showcases the rapid advancements in crash avoidance technology: the latest generation of Toyota Safety Sense now can stop the vehicle during turning to avoid a crash with oncoming traffic.Įuro NCAP’s Secretary General, Michiel van Ratingen, said: “Congratulations to Toyota on a top rating for the Yaris. Two centre-mounted airbags inflate in side impacts to limit an occupants’ travel to the opposite side of the vehicle and to mitigate the risk of occupant to occupant contact. The Yaris, in general, does well, its small size and benign front end making it one of the less aggressive crash partners on the road.

The mobile progressive deformable barrier (MPDB) test assesses the protection a car offers its occupants as well as the risks it poses to the car it has crashed into. The car is the first to be subjected to an all-new frontal offset test, which replaces the one previously used since the programme started in 1997, and is the first to feature a counter-measure for injuries in far-side impacts. Toyota’s fourth-generation Yaris emerges with flying colours from Euro NCAP’s 2020 test programme.
