Toyota Yaris BS6 version to get a price tag of Rs 8.76 lakhs

- Yaris BS6 priced between Rs 8.76-14.18 lakhs (ex-showroom)

- Prices have gone up by Rs 11,000 across variants

Toyota is set to introduce the BS6 compliant version of the Yaris mid-size sedan in India in the weeks to come. The Toyota Yaris BS6 has been listed at Rs 8.76 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi) for the base variant on its official website. The prices have gone up by Rs 11,000 across variants.

The BS6 Toyota Yaris continues to be available with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder, Dual VVT-i petrol motor that is offered with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-step CVT. The motor produces 105bhp and 140Nm. The BS6 compliance hasn't resulted in any detune in power figures of sorts, and the fuel economy too is unchanged at 17.1 and 17.8 kmpl for the manual and automatic transmissions.

Besides the mechanical updates, the Toyota Yaris doesn't receive any changes whatsoever. It continues to feature best-in-segment seven airbags as standard, while the top variant also gets safety features like vehicle stability control, TPMS, disc brakes at all four wheels, hill-start assist and front and rear parking sensors. Convenience features include automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, climate control with roof-mounted rear AC vents, electrically-adjustable driver seat, and an acoustic and vibration control glass among other things.

The Toyota Yaris is the only other mid-size sedan to get a BS6 compliant petrol engine apart from the recently launched Honda City. The Yaris rivals the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Hyundai Verna, Volkswagen Vento and the Skoda Rapid, besides the City.
