With the new Verso-S Toyota brings a minivan for price-conscious families. The 1, 3-litre petrol engine to provide the fleet driving and be at the same time economical.
Since 2005, Toyota was no longer represented in the segment of the variable small car, a successor - the new Verso S. only now gets the successful Yaris Verso As it should be for such a talent, it offers plenty of room on a relatively modest footprint.
Large inmates on all seating positions? No problem. Also the trunk can be seen - 430 litres volume when not even four meters length are remarkable. The split rear seat by ratchet lever hoist is allocated it contain even 1,388 litres on roof-high load.
The basic equipment of Toyota Verso-S is similar to a pizza Margerita - much to see there is not. In the recommended life-facilities (plus 2,000 euros), but some useful functions are added: the rear-view camera facilitates the parking is also an extensive multimedia system (Toyota touch) on board. This is however poorly read 6, 1-inch display with light, and an optional navigation function is only Toyota this summer. It has radio and car kit with the handy multifunction steering wheel as well under control as the entire vehicle.
Even bad roads with evil waves bring the Toyota little from the rest, a Kurvendynamiker is not as expected. The abbreviation of S is the verso not for sport, because his 99 PS produces the 3-liter engine only at 6,000/min. At this speed, he screams so loudly that one hardly dares to, so auszuquetschen the engine. On country roads or motorways, the small four cylinder would like to always be kept happy, say speed. After all Toyota offers alternative to a 1, 4-liter diesel engine with 90 HP, which subjectively is the better choice. He feels much stronger and kultivierter than the gasoline engine and is also more economical, but also 2.350 euro more expensive.
In the city of Toyota reflected Verso-S well - there does he need any high speeds and can maneuver with smooth Steering in almost every parking space. 470 Euro extra charge there is a start stop system, which is to reduce the fuel consumption in combination with the six-speed transmission to 5.5 L / 100 km. The test consumption was 7.0 L / 100 km while significantly higher, but still 0.7 litres under the test use of a comparable Honda jazz. The safety equipment is extensive: seven airbags, electronic stability control and a whiplash protection system to protect the passengers.
The Toyota Verso-S offers enough space and comfort at an affordable price. The muscular low, loud engine convinces little.
