BANGKOK: Toyota Motor Thailand is showcasing a TRD kitted version of its popular Yaris ATIV compact car sedan at the 2018 Bangkok Motor Show.

The TRD kit is aimed at those who want a sporty look with a sleek, aggressive rear spoiler.

Launched in August 2017, the new Yaris ATIV is classed under Thailand's eco-car programme, and is powered by a 1.2-litre Dual VVT-i engine mated to a Super CVT-i automatic transmission.

Its petrol consumption is rated at 5 litres per 100km or 20km per litre (combined cycle).

Running on 185/60 R15 tyres, the Yaris ATIV is also engineered to run on E20 biofuel (blend of 20% ethanol and 80%
petrol).

There are five variants priced from 479,000 Baht (RM59,218) to 635,000 Baht (RM78,505).

The Yaris, known as Vitz in Japan, was originally sculpted by Toyota Design Development in France.

The Yaris was introduced in 2006 for the first time in Thailand as a premium compact hatchback.
