"


New Toyota Verso combines modern style inside and out with the space, comfort, practicality and flexibility. Class leader in safety, quality travel comfort and dynamic acoustic match the capabilities of a conventional passenger car.

The interior is completely new, with more space, comfort and improved Easy Flat-7 system of folding the five rear seats that are easier to operate. Particular attention has been paid to the improvement of accommodation for all rear seat passengers, while there are a lot more space behind the third row of seats for cargo.

Toyota optimal drive technology has been introduced across the range, the increase in engine power by up to 20 percent, while at the same time achieving reductions in emissions and fuel economy of up to 12 percent . In the UK, Toyota Verso will be available with the new 1.6 and 1.8 petrol engines Valvematic which will have a class leading combination of power and CO2 emissions. These will provide a new six-speed manual transmission standard with an option to the new Toyota Multidrive S continuously variable transmission in the unit of 1.8. A revised 2.0-liter D-4D diesel will also be available with 2.2 D-CAT engine with new six-speed automatic transmission that will join the line later in the year.

New Toyota Verso is designed to achieve a maximum five stars in Euro NCAP crash test program, thanks to update assets, liabilities and pedestrian safety and impact of a rigid, impact-absorbing frame that makes greater use of high strength steel to traction. It is noteworthy that all models Toyota Verso is equipped with curtain shield airbags to protect passengers in the third row of seats and with the assistance of the intelligent vehicle stability control (VSC +).

Capitalizing on an investment of over € 1 billion and greater plant Adapazari reputation of exceptional quality construction, the car will be built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Turkey.

DESIGN

Toyota 'Board Dynamics' new Toyota Verso focuses on all key attributes of a C-segment MPV to ensure the car combines contemporary style interior and exterior with the latest in space, comfort, practicality and flexibility, the main class of occupant and pedestrian safety features, and ride quality, comfort and dynamic sound capabilities of a conventional passenger car.

Room 'elements of the concept can be seen in the comfort, quality, comfort, atmosphere and interior roominess of the new, while the Toyota Verso "dynamic" is expressed through powerful external contents and interior design elements and strong driving dynamics.

Outside

Based on the dynamic nature of the current model, the new Toyota Verso Toyota takes the design of a new step forward language with a dual-zone style.

This approach is reflected in the order of the profile view, with a strong character line that flows from the edge of the front bumper, through the lower edge of the doors and swept through the C-pillar to roof spoiler -mounted. On one side of this line is in Area I in the bonnet and cabin, and the other Zone II includes the chassis and boot space.

From the front, the new Toyota Verso is characterized by the power lines and a powerful position, highlighted by the horizontal lines of the double-bar grille, the headlamps are pulled back well in the wings, a deep air dam and a central emblem of Toyota.

In profile view, the sharply delineated against wheelarches complement the double-line character, mixing at the top of the wings and generating a second character line that runs through the aerodynamics, the shooters doors of the vehicle along the waist.

Dimensions have been increased, giving a new Toyota Verso a wider and lower. Overall length is greater than 70 mm and 4440mm width is increased by 20 mm in 1790. Overall height is 1620mm and the coefficient of drag (Cd) of 0295 is the best car in the class. Verso Toyota remains one of the seven-seat compact MPVs on the market.

Toyota Verso is offered in a new range of colors, along with the new design 16-inch wheel covers 16 and 17 inch alloy wheels.

Inside

Toyota designers describe the interior as the subject of Smart Dynamic wave, expressed most strongly in the wave-like shape of the upper instrument panel, which distinguishes the functional area of the driver of the more relaxed atmosphere of the area passengers. The two areas are linked by a sharp line around the wavelength width of the strip.

The speedometer and tachometer are set in the cylinder housing, angled towards the driver and slightly offset so as not to interfere with the driver's view of the road ahead. The gear lever is mounted near the steering wheel in a central console that provides a strong definition of the vertical conductor in the area.

New puddle lights are integrated into the door mirrors which illuminate as you approach the vehicle and unlocks with the key fob, with soft orange activated LED lighting in the footwells and front doors are open.

Titanium vision inserts contained in the door handles, steering wheel and center console and is a mixture of technical grain soft touch plastic for the top of the dashboard, leather grain effect with a darker, lower, accentuating the feeling space inside the cabin.

A large panoramic glass sunroof with integrated electric blind is also available, increasing the cockpit open and airy atmosphere. It extends from the head of the windscreen to beyond the B-pillars, measuring 1160mm long and 1180mm wide. It is the largest piece of the roof of its kind in the new Toyota Verso class. The blind can be opened at any point along the length of the roof.

Toyota Easy Flat-7

New Toyota Verso offers all the versatility MPV buyers demand in a more user friendly than ever, thanks to improvements in the Toyota Easy Flat-7 system.

Toyota Easy Flat-7 allows the five rear seats to be folded individually to carry extra passengers or increase cargo space when the occasion demands it, in 32 different seating permutations.

The new Toyota Verso Easy Flat-7 has an improved mechanism that returns the second row of seats to its original position after being bent to provide access to the third row. The head in the second and third row of seats with a new low profile L-shape of the folding seat operation easier and to improve rearward visibility from the driver's seat.

The third row of seats can be stowed or erected in an easy, using one hand with a drive belt that can be reached from the back door. The third row of seats also gain adjustment.

The height-adjustable front seats with better support and a shoulder seat extended by 20 mm to improve comfort, especially on long trips, while an increase of 40 mm in height of the seat cushion forward andalusia offered driver a better view of the wheel.

Support and cushioning were also improved for the second row passengers and an increase of 30 mm in the seats "adjustment slider allows access to the third row seat easier. The longest distance between the first and second row of points of hip has increased by 50 mm up to 975mm, creating more rear legroom, and the height of the second row of seats has been reduced by 35mm to give more room and make it easier for passengers to enter and exit the car .

The boot floor is completely flat when the second and third row seats are folded and is longer than 185mm to 1830mm, making it easier to load long items. The cargo space is also larger 240mm to 1585mm, increasing storage capacity from 63 to 178 liters when the rear seats are upright, compared with the current model. The result is a seven-seat MPV that can lead to all passengers in comfort, with ample space for luggage, too.

A new management system is under the boot rear loadspace useful to keep valuable items out of sight or barrel stowage cover. Its capacity varies according to the number of rear seats in use, and whether a full-sized or space-saving, the rear wheel is specified.

Storage throughout the car also includes a large double deck glovebox, console, general proportions generous door pockets, seat folding tables with cupholders, a spacious center console box, a drawer under the front passenger seat, second row under the driver and passenger and storage pockets for holding mobile phones or music players.

Noise, vibration and harshness

Particular attention has been paid to reducing the levels of NVH new Toyota Verso to the best of its kind for the levels of C-MPV segment, comparable to those of many D segment cars.

And the use of traditional acoustic damping, Toyota Verso marks the world-first application of a two-piece top and bottom line of the passenger side of the bulkhead. Only the line density is optimized in the most critical points to avoid any weight gain. A second line noise on the engine side of the bulkhead is combined with low-insulated engine hood to further reduce noise intrusion.

Tuned silencing floor are installed beneath the panels of the seats and spare wheel, and a new acoustic material is used for the first time in a Toyota to isolate and absorb noise in the footwells.

Ensuring that cross-links the instrument panel structure to the A-pillar, beam and floor helps minimize vibration dashboard. A second beam, which bracketed the word is all the car below the rear seats. Wheelarch coatings and resin rocker moldings help reduce stone chip roar and an insulator between the A-pillar interior wing and more isolated from the cabin of the intrusion of noise.

These measures are combined with an aerodynamic package that gives you a class-leading drag coefficient (Cd) from 0295 to significantly reduce the noise in the cabin (for 2.5dBa) compared with the current model.

OPTIMAL MANAGEMENT OF TOYOTA powertrains

New Toyota Verso Toyota Optimal Drive benefits, adoption of innovative technologies to minimize fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, increase power and maximum driving pleasure.

These various technologies are focused on three aspects of power:
Weight loss of power through the use of super-lightweight and very compact engine components and transmissions.
Minimizing mechanical losses, by taking Valvematic (development of a VVT-i), new technology roller rockers, pistons smaller and lighter, low-viscosity oil and new six-speed manual transmissions and Multidrive.
Maximizing combustion efficiency, achieved through the adoption of high compression ratios, improving the intake port and the design of the combustion chamber and the introduction of oil-jet piston cooling. All diesel engines from Toyota Verso benefit of an improved fuel injection system.

Three engines are available in the new Toyota Verso at launch in the UK: two petrol engines, 1.6 and 1.8 liters Valvematic units, which give a better segment its combination of power and CO2 emissions, and a revised 2.0-liter D - 4D 130 diesel. A 2.2 liters D-4D D-CAT 150 diesel will join the range later in 2009 with a new six-speed automatic.

The new 1.6 liters Valvematic adjusts to a new six-speed manual transmission. Compared with the 1.6 VVT-i engine in the previous generation Toyota Verso, power has increased by 22bhp (22 DIN hp) to 131bhp (132 DIN hp) and maximum torque of 10Nm to 160Nm at 4400rpm. Provisional figures show CO2 emissions by 17g/km to 161g/km and fuel consumption combined cycle improved from 37.7 to 41.5mpg.

The 1.8-liter engine Valvematic offers the choice of the new six-speed manual gearbox or Multidrive S, Toyota-art continuously variable transmission. These are significant improvements in power, torque, emissions and fuel economy over previous Toyota Verso 1.8 VVT-i unit: the power is 18bhp (18 DIN hp) to 145bhp (147 DIN hp), torque increases by 10Nm to 180Nm at 4600rpm, CO2 emissions have been reduced 19g/km to 165 g / km (manual), and fuel consumption combined cycle of 36.7 improved to 40.4mpg (provisional CO2 and mpg figures ).

With the transmission Multidrive S, CO2 emissions are expected to 164g/km and 40.4mpg combined fuel consumption figures that represent the system of advantages over conventional automatic transmissions.

Toyota Verso also gains a revised 2.0-liter D-4D diesel engine which develops up to 125bhp (126 DIN hp) and 310Nm from 1800 to 2400rpm, with 140 g / km of CO2 emissions, the best in its class to the central 110-140bhp power in the area of the seven-seat MPV C-segment.

The 2.2-liter diesel engine prominently in the existing range of Toyota Verso is carried out for the new model will be available to customers in the UK after 2009. The output is increased 148bhp (150 DIN hp) and a maximum of 340Nm of torque available from 2000 to 2800rpm. Equipped with Toyota D-CAT clean diesel technology, produces 178g/km of CO2 and returns 41.5mpg in combined cycle driving (provisional figures). This engine is for a new six-speed automatic.

Ride and handling

New Toyota Verso has been designed for ease of handling, body control, stability and passenger comfort of a conventional car with its brand new high-rigidity frame, more wheelbase, wider front and rear tracks and extensively revised the suspension geometry.

Aerodynamics

New Toyota Verso has a class leading drag coefficient of 0.295 with a carefully thought out design, which is essential for the control of the body of the car, high speed stability and reducing wind noise.

Particular attention has been paid to the airflow under the car, with good Underfloor, wheel spats and wing-shaped vertical fins that help control the vertical body movement and the optimization of the front and rear lift coefficients. The result is a flat walk straight, more controlled and better guidance post response stability, especially in crosswinds.

Suspension

The MacPherson-type, has a new front suspension mounting brackets double principle: a rigid, locating external mounting of the spring and a soft interior to locate the shock mount. With the increased caster angle and roll stiffness, the new format provides optimal management of low transmission of noise and excellent comfort.

The compact and lightweight torsion beam rear integrated combat bar has also been revised to conform to the laggards to improve the angle of the steering arm in response. The spring and shock mounts have been removed to improve the efficiency of packaging, handling and comfort.

Directorate of Electricity

For the first time in Europe, Toyota has added active steering force a variable compensation to his assistant director of Electric Power in the new Toyota Verso. If the system detects an input speed of direction that is too high for vehicles in response to automatically reduce the power of providing assistance to limit entry and to promote smoother driving.

When the steering column torque sensor detects the vibrations of the wheels, an active control of vibration with the ECU can produce a compensation signal to reduce vibration before it reaches the wheel.

Brakes and tires

New Toyota Verso is equipped with the latest ABS and VSC + braking systems and stability, the incorporation of electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) to the much shorter distance to stop.

SECURITY

New Toyota Verso receives update active, passive and impact safety of pedestrians and has a very rigid, impact-absorbing frame with a higher proportion of steel high tensile strength. These elements are designed to achieve five stars in a new, more stringent Euro NCAP crash test program.

Active

A full range of active safety systems are available for new Toyota Verso, including the latest generation ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA).

The assistance of intelligent + VSC system, installed as standard under counteracts oversteer or independently by the application of braking force to any of the four wheels at the same time, generate the pair of direction to help the driver keep the car under control. Traction Control (TRC) contains wheelspin and steering torque assist accountants vehicle yaw moments under braking or accelerating.

-Assist Hill Start Control (HAC) provides more control when pulling away on a slope to prevent the vehicle rolling backward.

Passive safety

Seven airbags are fitted as standard: driver and passenger side front airbags, front passenger airbag knee and curtain airbags protect that extend the full length of the cabin to protect occupants in both rows of rear seats - a feature which is rare in the compact MPV segment.

The front seats have anti-whiplash seats and all restraints are linked to a system of safety belt reminder in the instrument panel. Additional protection against injury of the leg is for driver and front passenger for energy absorbing pads built into the front footwells.

Lateral impact forces, are channeled through the floor and ceiling through strengthening the members and, in a first for a Toyota vehicle, energy absorbing pads are on the back of the belt line and the passenger hip place to reduce injuries.

A high strength rod seat is placed under the rear seats and secured on each side of the cabin, plus help absorb side impacts.

Impact of pedestrian safety

New Toyota Verso bonnet has a structure and an energy absorbing hood crushed in his rear end. The wiper motor and linkage have been moved farther down the firewall, beyond the point of impact should be hit a pedestrian.

The hood lock is set well below the upper surface of the bonnet and the construction of the front of the vehicle and the lower leg superior impact absorbers, more absorbent, located in the rear of the bonnet meets the top of the fender.

Equipment characteristics

Team grades and specifications for the new Toyota Verso in the UK will be announced nearer the car on the date of publication in April 2009.

All models will be equipped with seven airbags, including side airbags for the third-row passengers, active front headrests, assistant director of vehicle stability control (VSC +) and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), LED taillights , puddle lamps, an overhead console, Underfloor storage, organizer of a boot and mirror so the driver can keep an eye on the young rear seat passengers.
