Latest Verso set to pack ’em in

25th February 2009

Verso by name, versatile by nature! Toyota has announced a new version of its seven-seat MPV will take a bow at the Geneva show next week.

The model borrows its styling from the recently launched Avensis, but has five individually folding seats in the back.

Power is increased by up to 20 per cent, while fuel economy and CO2 emissions are improved by up to 12 per cent compared to the current model. Engine choices will comprise 1.6 and 1.8-litre petrols, plus 2.0-litre D-4D and 2.2 D-CAT diesels when it goes on sale in spring.

Toyota is hoping the Verso will match the Avensis and iQ, both of which achieved the full five stars in Euro NCAP’s latest crash tests.
