Description
This Toyota Yaris Icon Tech is powered by a 1.5 litre petrol engine and because of its hybrid monika, it also has an electric motor. The 98 bhp engine returns between 56 and 58 mpg, but as with all hybris systems, the fuel economy is increased with the assistance of the electric motor, up to a reported 70 mpg. The Toyota hybrid system charges the battery in two ways. Firstly and as already mentioned, the petrol engine drives the generator to charge the battery. The second method is through regenerative braking, a system that puts braking energy to good use. Every time you put your foot on the brake or lift off the accelerator, the system diverts energy back to the battery where it is, in effect, recycled. Instead of the energy being lost as heat or noise from the brakes, it is captured and then used to power the electric motor later. This is particularly efficient in stop-start traffic where the system recovers and stores a great deal of energy, making the car more efficient overall. The exterior design is befitting of a small car of the day, with its chiseled front-end and 15 inch alloy wheels. Inside, front seating is comfortable and somewhat hugging, whilst dual zone climate control ensures the driver and front seat passenger can stay comfortable… …Independently. Other features include Bluetooth connectivity, steering wheel mounted controls, engine start/stop button, electric windows and mirrors, sat nav, reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, and cruise control.
