The Toyota Vitz is now available in local Toyota showrooms! Here’s how much you can pay for this compact city hatchback and what’s on offer.
The Toyota Vitz is another collaboration project between Toyota and Suzuki, following on from the Toyota Urban Cruiser/Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Toyota Starlet/Suzuki Baleno and Toyota Rumion/Ertiga. Essentially, the Vitz is based on the Suzuki Celerio.
What’s On Offer?
The Toyota Vitz is available with 3 derivatives to choose from including the Base manual, XR manual and XR automatic, with one engine doing duty across the range. Customers will have the choice of either a 5-speed manual gearbox or an automated manual transmission (AMT). There are 7 colours to choose from.
The engine is a 1.0-naturally-aspirated 3-cylinder petrol engine which has 49 kW and 89 Nm. It is front-wheel driven and Toyota claims the Vitz will consume just 4.4 L/100 km. A top speed of 160 kph is claimed and there’s a 32 litre fuel tank.
