Bringing the fourth generation with it, the 2022 Toyota Yaris Ativ draws attention with its European cousins.
Compact sedan models, which have a significant share in markets such as Asia and India, are now on the radar for us as the purchasing power in Turkey has decreased. Yaris Ativ, one of the foreign market representatives of the segment, where Honda brought the City to the Turkish market and with the new Renault Taliant, made a transition to the new generation with the 2022 model year. The 2022 Toyota Yaris Ativ, which was introduced as Thailand-based, managed to attract our attention with its list of European vehicles in terms of hardware.

Building on Toyota’s partnership with Daihatsu in the region, the Yaris Ativ uses a new generation architecture called DNGA. In Yaris, which is also sold in Turkey, this platform, which is preferred in the market instead of TNGA-B, promises an improved driving experience compared to its previous generation. Compared to the old model, the Yaris Ativ’s wheelbase, which has been increased by 70 millimeters, has the potential to make a serious difference, especially in the interior living area. Under the hood of the family, a 1.2-liter atmospheric engine produces 94 PS power and 110 Nm torque. On the transmission side, the CVT-i automatic unit is standard.

Along with the new Yaris Ativ, the equipment list is also quite extensive. With the modernized cabin design, the 9-inch multimedia screen and the digital driver panel where the 7-inch panel is positioned are easily distinguished. Automatic air conditioning for the front and rear passengers, ambient lighting that comes in 64 different color options, Pioneer signed sound system, adaptive cruise control, rear area driving assistant and blind spot warning also bring the vehicle to a level that can not be compared to European models. The use of standard disc brakes on all four tires is among the details that will make the previous generation forget. Yaris Ativ, whose sales process started as Thailand-based with its introduction, has a starting price of $ 15,232. The most expensive version of the family carries a tag of $ 19,472.
