NCP90R YarisNov 2005

NCP90R Yaris

TOYOTA’S Yaris replaced the six-year old Echo as the Japanese giant’s light-car contender.Released in early November 2005, it opened with a 12-strong model range, which comprises three- and five-door hatchbacks.From March 2006 a four-door Yaris sedan was also added to the fleet.Although it cost more than the ever-popular Echo, the Yaris added an MP3/CD audio, and anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist as standard.Dual front airbags, air-conditioning, power windows, electric mirrors, remote central locking, power steering and 14-inch wheels are also included.About the only Echo carryover items are the two twin-cam 16-valve VVT-i four-cylinder engines offered in either a revised five-speed manual or a driver-adaptive four-speed automatic gearbox.The 1.3-litre 2NZ-FE unit is reserved for the YR. It produces 63kW of power at 6000rpm while maximum torque tops out at 121Nm from 4200rpm.Meanwhile the larger 1.5-litre 1NZ-FE engine musters 80kW at 6000rpm and 141Nm from 4200rpm. It is the sole engine in the YRS and YRX.Size-wise, Toyota’s goal was to maintain the Echo hatch’s 3750mm overall length for the Yaris but with a cabin that could comfortably accommodate four 192cm adults.So a significantly larger interior had to be devised – achieved by stretching the wheelbase and shortening the engine bay.Compared to Echo, more rear-seat room and luggage capacity is a welcome upshot.Toyota launched a facelifted Yaris in October 2008, bringing minor safety and convenience improvements.It would take a keen eye to pick the differences, with slightly reshaped headlights, a smaller grille, new tail-light lenses, fresh interior seat trim, and revised bumpers giving the game away.The headlights now spread light better, the base YR receives telescopic-adjustment steering, and the up-spec YRS and YRS hatch gained illumination for the steering-wheel mounted controls.In total, the Yaris range extended to 16 models: 12 hatchback and four sedans.In August 2009 Toyota upgraded its entry-level Yaris hatchback by adding Bluetooth and USB connectivity as standard.

GoAuto Search Words

Search will attempt to find all articles within the system that contain any or all words you are looking for.

You can include words like "and" + "or" for boolean style searching. Some search examples as follows:

  • "Ford v8" - Results will contain the text as it appears in the search "Ford v8".
  • "Ford and v8" - Results will have both "Ford" and "v8" within its contents but may not be sequential as per previous example.
  • "Ford or Holden and v8" - Results found will contain "v8" and also contain either "Ford" or "Holden".

You may also use wildcards represented by an asterisks. For example:

  • "Turbo*" - will find all documents that contain words like "Turbocharged", "Turbo-Diesel".
  • "Ford and v*" - Results will have both "Ford" and any word that has "V", so you may find documents about Volvo that mention Ford.

Please note: Due to the number of articles, searches may take a few moments to respond.
