Toyota Yaris facelift patent images leaked

Patent images of the Toyota Yaris facelift have surfaced online.

The car seen in these patent images is the hatchback version of the Yaris. It features a trapezoidal grille, large sweptback headlamps and redesigned fog lamp pods. At the rear, the car gets wraparound tail lamps and a dual-tone bumper. The B and C-pillars are painted black to give a floating roof effect.

In India, Toyota offers the Yaris sedan. It is powered by a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that puts out 106 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 140 Nm of torque @ 4,200 rpm. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual gearbox and a 7-speed CVT with paddle shifters.

While the Yaris hatchback is unlikely to come to India, similar updates could be seen on the sedan in the future.
