La Grange Area Toyota Has the 2015 Yaris: Great Things in a Small Package

Mar 5, 2015

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last fifty years or so, you know how volatile gas prices can be. One week they’re up; the next week they’re down. Then there’s the impact on the environment. These days, more and more people are looking for less consumption without getting less car. Your La Grange Area Toyota dealer has you covered with the 2015 Yaris LE.

Efficiency

The Yaris can deliver an EPA-estimated 36 miles per gallon on the highway and 30 in the city. How? By taking a reasonable 1.5-liter, in-line four cylinder engine and giving it dual overhead cams, variable valve timing, and multi-point fuel injection. The Yaris is capable of 106 horsepower and 103 pounds of torque with a four-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.

Safety

Toyota’s number one priority is safety. That’s why they equip the Yaris with anti-lock, ventilated disc brakes that are managed by a brake force distribution system. Electronic traction and stability control help keep you on the road. In case of an accident, intelligent front airbags use sensors in the seats to adapt to crash conditions and reduce the risk of injury. Side and curtain airbags are also equipped to protect the entire cabin.

Feeling

The independent front and semi-independent rear suspensions use a combination of struts, coil springs, torsion beams, and stabilizer bars to give a sporty feel. Meanwhile, inside, a six speaker audio system with AM/FM/CD/MP3 playback, digital radio, touchscreen interface, and Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling and texting sets the mood.
