Toyota Verso S 1.4 D-4 d in the test: small of large compact MPV


The Toyota Verso S is the little brother of the Toyota Verso. However, waiting for the little with enormous internal size. In the test of the 90 PS strong 1, 4-litre Variant.

The addition of S is the smaller brother of the Toyota Verso for a savings option, but for small (small). Nevertheless, Toyota to 3.99 metres in length has implemented a very practical spatial concept. With increased seating position, well drawn-out seats front, sufficient space for two adults also rear and a middle seat that is suitable for children is the verso S an attractive offer for families who are looking for a reasonable compromise between benefit and cost effectiveness.
The Toyota collects Verso S Microvan in the test with its variable cargo space, its 430 Liter basic volume appropriately vary in the tested version of life via height adjustable luggage compartment floor can be proven. By pilot valves of the asymmetric divisible back bank back with a simple handle increases the trunk to 852 litres, up under the roof, there are even 1,388 litres.
Similar to generously, the basic equipment of Toyota is Verso S, among which include seven airbags, ESP, on-board computer, and central locking. For 1,250 euro extra there the cool with air conditioning, CD-radio, MP3, and USB port.
Only to consume the Toyota will be Verso S rather a dwarf - especially with the 1, 4-liter diesel engine. But in the test the specified value of the standard was missed by 4.3 L / 100 km to nearly two litres, given that animate the rotation-minded and lively common-rail engine in conjunction with the switchable from the wrist six-speed transmission to brisk pace. Because driving pleasure comes on in the test well, although the variant is acoustically rather gruff beyond 2,500 rpm.
But attractive rolling comfort and safe driving also offers Toyota Verso S variant with the 1, 3-litre petrol engine (99 PS), to do this as standard a start stop system. For 2.350 euro of less, it is a real savings option at least at the time of purchase.
Subaru makes individual design, all-wheel drive and Boxer engines - this luxury only for the classic models. After the Justy (by Daihatsu), now comes the Trezia, which corresponds to the Toyota Verso S on small retouching and has the same straight engine under the front hood. The 1, 4-liter diesel engine with a six-speed automated manual transmission can be combined as there. Significant differences-these are only in a combination of & accommodation content and packages. Comparable equipment prices show parity but almost with the Toyota brother. The choice is therefore above all a question of taste - and the merchant.
