Announced last month, UMW Toyota Motor officially launched the 2021 Toyota Yaris facelift in the country. The car was unveiled via digital presentation earlier tonight, alongside the Vios 2021 facelift, GR Yaris, and Vios GR-S.
As before, there are three variants available for the Yaris. The base 1.5J is priced at RM70,940, while the 1.5E costs RM80,380, and the top-range 1.5G is RM84,808, all on the road without insurance. Final prices are lower than last month’s estimates ($ 71,688 for the J, $ 80,591 for the E, and $ 85,587 for the G).
From an exterior point of view, the update introduces a new front bumper, which gives the car a bolder and broader visual stance. The grille and bottom entry are now fused into one, and the headlights are now triple-bezel LED units, standard across the entire model range. LED daytime running lights and LED front fog lights are also standard.
There are two different wheels, with the J variant having a 15-inch unit (with 185/60 series tires), while the E and G are fitted with 16-inch alloys, wrapped with 195/50 tires. Both the E and G also have an acoustic glass windshield, and the taillights on these follow the combined LED path.
The Yaris can also be specified with an optional Aerokit (RM2,200 for the J, RM2,500 for the E and G), which adds front / rear bumper spoilers and two-tone side skirts to further enhance the car’s styling. . . On the E and G, the package also comes with a roof spoiler, hence the higher price.
Inside, the Yaris facelift features a black interior, with fabric upholstery. The standard kit includes two 2.1A USB ports, smart keyless entry and push start, a drive mode switch (Sport / Eco), and illuminated scuff plates.
The J comes equipped with manual air conditioning, a four-speaker radio / CD player audio system (with auxiliary connectivity and Bluetooth), and a urethane steering wheel. Moving to the E gives you an Optitron instrument panel, which incorporates a 4.2-inch full-color multi-information display, and the steering wheel has audio control switches.
The variant also comes with a seven-inch touchscreen head unit compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This replaces the older 6.8-inch unit. Elsewhere, UMWT’s vehicle telematics system is now standard on the E and G variants, while an optional wireless charger (RM490) is available for all Yaris models, located in the center console box.
The G enhances the presentation with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shift knob, and other features unique to the variant include single-zone automatic air conditioning and an electrochromic rearview mirror, the latter new to the car.
There are no changes to the powertrain, with the 1.5-liter Dual VVT-i 2NR-FE engine continuing to deliver 107 hp at 6,000 rpm and 140 Nm at 4,200 rpm. Also the choice of the paired transmission, which is a CVT with a seven-speed Shiftmatic mode.
The big news is the addition of Toyota Safety Sense, which adds a driver assistance and safety kit to the car. Available on E and G models, the suite consists of a Pre-Collision System (PCS) with autonomous emergency braking and Lane Departure Alert (LDA), which operates from speeds of 50 km / h onwards to help avoid unwanted lane changes.
There is also a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and a 3D 360-degree panoramic view monitor, in addition to the usual VSC, Hill Start Assist Control and seven airbags. Additionally, the E and G come equipped with a front-end digital video recorder.
There are three exterior colors available for the Yaris facelift: Metallic Mica Red, Pearl Platinum White and Metallic Silver, and Citrus Mica Metallic, which was the hero color of the pre-facelift, is removed from the color palette.
