2013 Toyota Yaris Hybrid
2013 Toyota Yaris Hybrid. Combining the ingenious packaging and urban agility of the Yaris
model range with the unique driving experience and efficiency of
Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive® (HSD), the Toyota Yaris Hybrid is a new
major step in the company’s full hybrid European roll-out strategy.
Combining the power of a 55 kW petrol engine and battery powering the
electrical motor, the Toyota Yaris Hybrid’s highly efficient powertrain
generates a maximum 74 kW/100 DIN hp system output. It offers the best
balance of performance and fuel consumption/CO2 emissions in the B
segment.
The Toyota Yaris Hybrid will accelerate seamlessly from 0-100 km/h in
11.8 seconds, and on to a maximum speed of 165 km/h. Conversely, it
delivers an average fuel consumption of just 3.5 l/100 km and
segment-best CO2 emissions of only 79 g/km, whilst allowing customers
frequent driving in modes that emit zero NOx, PM or CO2 emissions. Its
exceptional fuel efficiency gives the Yaris Hybrid a driving range of
1,000 km on a single tank of fuel.
From start-up and at speeds up to 50 km/h the new Yaris Hybrid
automatically operates in EV mode, driving under electric motor power
alone. The driver may also select EV mode manually. This unique driving
mode is only available to drivers of full hybrid vehicles.
With vehicle range dictated by battery charge, the EV drive mode
allows for urban driving with minimal noise and zero CO2, NOx and PM
emissions for up to two kilometres. Because the petrol engine is
switched off throughout its operation, the EV drive mode contributes to a
significant reduction in the Toyota Yaris Hybrid’s overall fuel
consumption.
In ECO mode, throttle response to aggressive accelerator pedal inputs
is reduced and air-conditioning control optimized for improved fuel
economy. Depending on driving conditions, the ECO mode can help drivers
achieve about 10% reduction in fuel consumption versus the normal mode.
