The new Toyota Verso mini MPV is another fresh out of oven model the Japanese car maker is about to launch in the United Kingdom. The Verso will land in Britain in January next year, sporting a price tag of £17,495 for its base model.
The flexible MPV comes with an eight-model range including a five-seat entry level model, and a seven-seat versions with Toyota’s quick and simple Easy Flat rear seat folding system. Other improvements include a higher quality cabin with more equipment and nicer trims and upholstery. And of course, there’s that new styling with Toyota’s aggressive face and athletic proportions.
The engine lineup includes a 1.6 Valvematic petrol, a 1.8 Valvematic petrol, and a 2.0 D-4D diesel. You also have three trim levels to choose from including Active, Icon and Excel. Standard kit on all models include front fog lights, air conditioning, electric front windows, Hill-start Assist Control and, on the seven-seat version, Toyota’s quick and simple Easy Flat folding system for the rear seats.
