2023 Toyota

The 2023 Toyota Yaris 1.5 Hybrid (HEV) Icon serves as the entry point into the fourth-generation Yaris lineup. Despite being the base "Icon" trim, it is defined by its sophisticated fourth-generation hybrid powertrain and a high level of standard safety technology. Powertrain and Performance At the heart of the Yaris is a 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine paired with an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. This "self-charging" system is managed by an e-CVT (Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission). Total System Power: 114 bhp (116 DIN hp) 062 mph: 9.7 seconds Top Speed: 109 mph Torque: 120 Nm from the engine plus 141 Nm from the electric motor. The car excels in urban environments, where it can operate in EV mode for up to 80% of typical city driving. The transition between the petrol engine and electric motor is notably smooth, providing instant torque for nippy city maneuvers. Efficiency and Economy The primary draw of the Yaris HEV is its class-leading efficiency. Under the WLTP testing cycle, it achieves: Fuel Economy: 68.9 mpg (combined), though careful urban driving often sees figures exceeding 75 mpg. CO2 Emissions: As low as 92 g/km, making it one of the cleanest non-plug-in vehicles on the road. Fuel Tank: 36 litres. Icon Trim Features The Icon trim is remarkably well-equipped for a base model. Standard interior and exterior features include: Exterior: 16-inch silver alloy wheels, automatic headlights, and rain-sensing wipers. Infotainment: A 7-inch touchscreen featuring the Toyota Touch 2 system with DAB radio, Bluetooth, and wired Apple CarPlay / Android Auto. Comfort: Automatic air conditioning, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and a 4.2-inch multi-information display behind the wheel. Convenience: Reversing camera and an electronic parking brake with "auto-hold." Safety: Toyota Safety Sense Toyota designed this Yaris to be one of the safest compact cars globally. Every Icon model includes: Pre-Collision System: With pedestrian and cyclist detection. Adaptive Cruise Control: Full-range system that can bring the car to a stop in traffic. Lane Trace Assist: Keeps the car centered in its lane. Center Airbags: A rarity in this segment, designed to prevent front-seat occupants from colliding during a side impact. Dimensions and Practicality The Yaris is built on the TNGA-B platform, emphasizing a low center of gravity and agile handling. Length: 3,940 mm Width: 1,745 mm Boot Capacity: 286 litres (expandable via 60:40 split rear seats). While the front cabin feels airy and modern, the rear is somewhat snug for taller adults due to the cars compact exterior footprint. However, for city dwellers seeking a reliable, high-tech, and incredibly frugal hatchback, the 2023 Yaris Icon remains a benchmark in the supermini category.
