2007 Toyota Yaris TS 1.8 Dual VVT-i
Toyota has revaled the new flagship Toyota Yaris model called the Toyota Yaris TS at the 2006 Paris Motor Show. The new Toyota Yaris TS is powered by Toyota’s new flagship Dual VVT-i 1.8 liter engine which makes 130bhp at 6,000rpm and max torque of 173Nm at 4,400rpm, compared to the Yaris 1.5 liter’s 109hp at 6,000rpm and 142Nm of torque at 4,200rpm. With the new Dual VVT-i engine, Valve timing is adjusted on both intake and exhaust valves. This engine is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. The little hatch goes from 0-100km/h in 9.3 seconds.
Other enhancements to the Toyota Yaris TS over the base model include suspension improvements – the front suspension has been reinforced, gains a thicker anti-roll bar and a linking rod has been introduced between the rear suspension members. The ride is also lowered by 8mm.
Other than ride height, further external differences include a new black mesh grille with a TS badge, darkened headlamps, a deeper bumper with integrated foglights, a new rear bumper with integrated exhaust tailpipes and fog lights, as well as new LED rear lamp clusters. Look from the side and you will see nice 17 inch alloy wheels that fill up the wheel arches as well as deep side skirts. There is also a roof spoiler for the rear.
Both three-door and five-door versions of the Toyota Yaris TS will be on sale from February 2007. More photos after the jump.

Hmmm…1st to comment but got nothing to comment on the YARIS 1.8
September 29, 2006 @ 8:08 pm
This is nice. Very nice. But highly overpriced.
September 29, 2006 @ 8:34 pm
AAa……the car for the young & young at heart…..But to bring this one back to my place here……aaiiyoooo… sayang ooo….We “highlanders” here just have only our lips to bite over this one……
September 29, 2006 @ 8:55 pm
Now if only Honda respond and put a super engine on Jazz/City that can make it go 0-100 km/h in less than 10 seconds also… when?
September 29, 2006 @ 9:46 pm
It nice to hear that from toyota. BUT it is unlikely coming to here. Even if this model with 1.8 dual vvti bring in and if build from thailand, the quality is very ‘poor’. u can see if from the 1.5 g n s spec, not even worth that price!
compare to Honda Jazz!!!
September 29, 2006 @ 10:50 pm
Basically, Honda Jazz and Toyota Yaris are over priced. Both of this car should be quoted at the range of RM50k. Thanks to government, our tax is more than 150%
September 29, 2006 @ 11:18 pm
1.8 dual vvti only 130bhp? i was expecting some 180 bhp like teg’ DC5 region edi.
September 29, 2006 @ 11:22 pm
Tat’s a great car…for those which dunno about toyota sure they’ll said is not worth it…hv they own 1???or hv them driven toyota car’s???hahaha
September 29, 2006 @ 11:34 pm
the car was nice but is look to shot n to compact.
about this, the new dual vvti is way to good for there Toyota technology.
but prefer Auris more.
September 30, 2006 @ 12:02 am
what is there to brag about? even putra’s 1.8L engine makes 140 bhp and can accelerate to 100km/h in about 8 seconds. and that was more than10 years ago’s technology.
September 30, 2006 @ 12:13 am
king,
i kinda agree with you.. kinda sad to see big player come up with such offering.. i think it kinda confined in this region, take the new civic for example 155 bhp, 2.0 ivtec. US and europe got ivtec with 197 bhp. What is wrong here??
September 30, 2006 @ 12:32 am
i tot Mugan Honda in Japan already have a super Jazz/Fit named Fit Dynamite, the engine is DC5 2.0 i-Vtec wif Six speed manual.. Anywayz Toyota is always want to made greener cars.. so less fuel comsuption = less hp = more torque..
Yaris is made for city driving not a sport car.. So dont think it is like a Celica.. If u want fast cars why not buy a Celica or MR-S..
September 30, 2006 @ 12:53 am
Nice design, though I hate how toyota and Nissan make center consoles. I like it to be at the steering not somewhere else where other people will nag me if I’m going to fast. BTW this is a fast car.Saving cost?
September 30, 2006 @ 12:53 am
the 1.8 vtec in the new civic makes 140bhp… a good 10hp more than this..
September 30, 2006 @ 1:20 am
confirm, this is my next car.
September 30, 2006 @ 3:29 am
1.8 in this little Yaris?? This thing is gonna fly to heaven and back. Torque curve must be pretty impressive.
September 30, 2006 @ 9:42 am
agreed with narrowband… nice car, but highly overpriced… even the current yaris looks like a cheap car, but its not… sad to see its priced over 90
September 30, 2006 @ 10:21 am
YARIS is being market at the wrong market segment at 90K.
Price even higher than VIOS, no wonder the SA was complainting about poor sales for the YARIS.
Quality for YARIS is below-par for the price u’ve to fork out.
The materials used for the dashboard and the interior doors are very thin.
Definately, more cheapo compared to VIOS.
The material is thin that when u tumb on surface, u can feel the sinking in feeling.
Space allocation is fantastic for the mini-monster.
Probably NAZA will import a few units pricing it at 130-150k yo.
YARIS -a catchy car but the PRICE is WRONG.
market it at 65-70k, it will probably be all over town!
September 30, 2006 @ 11:58 am
Overpriced!!!!!!! But anyway, nice car….
September 30, 2006 @ 12:48 pm
scorchin’! really like it. u make me wanna change car now. i think these guys shud stop making nice cars.
hmmph….
September 30, 2006 @ 2:32 pm
shud be good power to weight ratio .
September 30, 2006 @ 2:41 pm
still prefer the first Yaris, so pure. I wanted that so much but wasn’t available. Paid booking for this model ( not the 1.8) but cancelled after seeing the actual car. Toyota really have to work on the quality of its plasticky interior.
September 30, 2006 @ 3:42 pm
looks can be deceiving…its always about the price…the damn price….evrything around us…nowdays “mahalsial!!”…note this…once steps outside ur very own house…must got money in pocket..atleast 10bucks..,,youre not going anywer below than that….DAMN government!!..bullshit politics!
September 30, 2006 @ 3:57 pm
even the current VVT-i engine found in altis/MR-s has better power than this NEW dual VVT-i engine =.=”
whats with toyota i wonder
September 30, 2006 @ 4:05 pm
of coz Yaris is over priced… but dun blame Toyota for it. It’s the G that tax all these cars to protect P1. Unless miracle happen (very unlikely!) we will still continue to ENJOY overpriced cars until 2010 when AFTA kicks in. then again, who’s to say the G wun come up with some other regulations just 2 protect P1? i wouldn’t be surprised at all… in fact, i would be surprised if P1 didn’t get any protection!!
so until tat day, let’s just look at all the cool cars and drool…
September 30, 2006 @ 5:03 pm
Guys, when looking at performance, you should consider the power band as well. a 1300rpm-5000rpm 125hp is better than a 140hp/6800rpm (Satria GTi)
September 30, 2006 @ 6:28 pm
motberg, be more optimistic, look at China, by 2010 they are able to produce 20 million cars (mainly by local-foreigner JV – Toyota, GM, VW, Hyundai, Honda, etc) and their market is expected to take 10 million. That means another 10 million to be exported to the world market. Do you think P1 say can produce 1 million car by 2010 at Tg Malim plant can export and compete with China. After 2010, if P1 still can’t find partner, then I don’t think G can face pressure and resist demand from foreign Gs to dismantle NAP. This is also because any extension of NAP beyond 2010 will affect and have adversel repercussion on our other products like palm oil, electronic components, etc that export to other country. They have a right under FTA to take counter measure similar to what NAP done.
Time is out for P1 and by 2010, the final nail on P1’s coffin will be nailed and send to the grave.
September 30, 2006 @ 6:43 pm
noting great about the engine output…even the GTi gets very close to that with its old mitsu engine
September 30, 2006 @ 8:15 pm
Not very impressive. Maybe remapping the ECU can produce more output.
Can ar?
September 30, 2006 @ 10:07 pm
well it has a nice look… love the improvement especially the lower ride and 17 inch rims… yummy! BUT…… the interior immediately turns me off… gosh… hate that center metre display!!!
September 30, 2006 @ 10:13 pm
performance wise…quite okla dis car…acceptable…dsg wise….not impressive but still ok…n notice the front grille like frm audi fam…4 me…i will go 4 swift rather than dis car…
October 1, 2006 @ 12:59 pm
ingy,
there is no such a thing as power band of constant power from 1500rpm to 5000rpm. can’t say the same for torque though. Dual vvti is just over hyped and simply not impressive…..at least for this model.
October 1, 2006 @ 9:21 pm
here come another NAP victim

————————————————————
Like the new look, the color. yeah, that’s true BlueChaos, where is honda? Jazz is due in 2007.

This is a gay car. A straight man would not be caught with his pants down in it. This is a continuation of Toyota’s philosophy of minimal design change for maximum exposure, therefore minimal cost over an existing chasis. Uh and they would normally charge more than the 2005 Yaris which was much gayer than the Corolla Hatch. They would charge more for the Dual Cam Shafter thingy. Its not enough to shift your shaft on the intake but you need to modulate thine shaft during thine exhalation.
October 8, 2006 @ 4:46 pm
ugly is an understatement … the right word should be fugly… this is toyota at its worst. the front looks like a tortoise or some mutated animal … and what a name …
October 16, 2006 @ 3:48 am
to BlueChaos:
did you hear of Fit Dynamite?
you should do a search

We all know that rear drum brakes became redundant in 1953 when D type Jags with 4 wheel discs wiped everything before them at Le Mans.
Therefore, why are manufacturers like Toyota perservering with rear drums.? God, even push bikes and ride on mowers have rear discs these days, so start looking after the well being of your potential buyers, Toyota
