The subcompact 2020 Toyota Yaris, in either a sedan or hatchback style, is an affordable vehicle that comes with lots of great features, handles well on the road, and has an attractive sporty design. Let’s take a look at five features that make the 2020 Toyota Yaris appealing.
- Great Gas Mileage
No matter what trim level you’re driving, they all come with a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder, 106-horsepower engine. The L and LE trim levels come with a six-speed transmission, while the XLE level comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission. The automatic transmission is optional for the L and LE trim levels. According to the EPA, the 2020 Yaris gets an impressive 32 mpg city driving and 40 mpg on the highway.
- Comfortable Interior
The well-designed interior gives the driver and passengers a comfortable ride. The modern, chic design looks and feels like you’re driving a sports car with contoured sports seats and user-friendly steering wheel-mounted controls. You can also add on options such as leather-trim packages for the steering wheel and shift knob. You’ll have plenty of room for luggage, groceries, and supplies with all the cargo space. The Yaris hatchback gives you 16 cubic feet of cargo space, while the sedan has 14 cubic feet.
- Enhanced Technology
It’s easy to play music, read maps, and stay connected using the 7-inch touch-screen infotainment center. Listen to Bluetooth music through Apple CarPlay or Android Audio on the six-speaker sound system or take advantage of listening to music or sports with the three-month trial of SiriusXM. The apps you use on your smartphone appear on the display so you can conveniently use them with the voice recognition feature, allowing you to remain hands-free while driving.
- Driver-Assist and Safety
The 2020 Yaris comes standard with six airbags and three-point seat belts for the driver and all passengers. The Toyota Active Safety System includes dynamic stability control, traction control, electronic brake-force distribution, anti-lock brakes, and a brake override system. The Toyota Pre-Collision System uses an in-vehicle camera and laser for the low-speed forward-collision warning system, which alerts the driver if the car ahead is too close. The brake-assist system automatically puts the brakes on if it detects the driver is not slowing down and braking sufficiently. Both of these systems help to avoid collisions.
- Enjoyable Driving Experience
Weighing only 2,400 pounds, the 2020 Yaris drives and handles nimbly and reacts quickly, making for a pleasant driving experience. The torsion-beam rear axle helps give the Yaris a soft ride. The beam attaches to the rear wheels and under load, twisting slightly to give a comfortable ride. During any side-to-side movement, the torsion beam remains rigid, helping to prevent the car from rolling. The 2020 Yaris is fun and zippy to drive around town, yet is also comfortable for long drives.
The 2020 Toyota Yaris is a great contender in the sporty subcompact car category. To see the difference between the hatchback and sedan models, to learn more about the 2020 Yaris, and to take one for a test drive, feel free to stop by Atlantic Toyota today.
