Toyota Verso-S: Economical jam miracle
Small but stylish: the Toyota Verso-S fits everywhere
Sounds familiar to me, the Toyota Verso-S. No wonder: He used to be a Microvan in the small car - until 2005. Since he was called Yaris Verso. And in the compact class, the Japanese had launched the Corolla Verso on the market. The still drives there, now as a Verso without "S", almost half a meter longer than the Toyota Verso-S.
To make the confusion complete and the family complete, comes to the little ones now the Toyota Verso-S. With "S" as "small" - almost exactly four meters, to be exact. This is quite noticeable when looking for a parking space, but also when handling in narrow streets and on winding roads. The mastered the Toyota Verso-S without any whiplash. Only the engine roars at higher speeds a bit loud.
In terms of loading capacity, the "S" could also stand for "jam miracle". Through clever folding and shifting management of the back seat and raised floor in the trunk can be up to 1388 liters in the Toyota Verso -S Sending some - including palm tree in an upright position. Equally pleasing: the lateral all-round view, on request only topped by the view through the panoramic glass roof.
But this verso would not be a Toyota, if with him the "S" would not stand for "economical". The 99-horsepower petrol engine with continuously variable transmission and start-stop automatic consumes, for example, just five liters, provided that I judge myself after the switching recommendation and renounce the top speed of 165 km / h.
Even less swallows the Toyota Verso-S as 90-horsepower diesel. Its automated manual transmission ensures extra fuel-efficient driving in E-mode. At the push of a button, I am already at the next "S". S like "sports mode". , ,
