Toyota Vitz range gets safety bump
As before, the Vitz remains powered by a 1.0 l three-cylinder petrol engine making 49kW and 89Nm of torque. This is fed to the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox, though the flagship XR can be ordered with an optional five-speed automated manual transmission (AMT).
While straight-line performance is nothing to write home about — all models have a top speed of 160km/h — running costs are low, with Toyota claiming a combined fuel consumption of 4.4 l /100km for the manuals and 4.2 l /100km for the AMT.
Now available at Toyota dealerships, pricing for the updated Vitz range is: 1.0 manual: R178,800
1.0 XR AMT: R224,900
1.0 XR manual: R209,900
Pricing includes a three-year/100,000km warranty and 60,000km service plan.
