New Edition and Trend models have been added to the Yaris line-up

The Toyota Yaris is now available in two new special editions. The Yaris Edition and the Yaris Trend are available in three and five-door bodystyles, and come with blacked-out c-pillars, rear privacy glass and contrasting Tyrol Silver or Cirrus White paint to give the illusion of a floating roof.

The Yaris Edition is based on the entry-level T2 trim level, and adds 15-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps and rear privacy glass on top of colour-coded door handles and extra chrome trim on the outside. Inside, there's a revised speedometer and a leather-trimmed gear knob.

It’s powered by a 68bhp 1.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.

The Yaris Trend is based on SR trim, which comes as standard with lower suspension, front fog lamps and a touchscreen infotainment system. The Trend adds 16-inch smoke-finished alloys and a chrome exhaust tip, and is powered by a 98bhp 1.33-litre four-cylinder engine. A six-speed manual 'box is fitted as standard, and a CVT is an option on the five-door.

The Toyota Yaris Edition is priced from £11,695, while the Yaris Trend starts from £13,795. Both are available to buy now.
