Toyota celebrates 20 years of the Yaris with special-edition model
Japanese manufacturer is marking two decades of its best-selling hatchback with the Y20 – and it’s going to have a limited-edition colour run ahead of
Toyota is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its European best-selling hatchback the Yaris with a new special edition – the Y20.
Debuting as part of a revised range for the third-generation hatchback, the Yaris Y20 brings a classic gold colour that appeared on the first car to the new machine but gives it a modern twist with a bi-tone dark grey roof.
That hue will be limited to 1,998 units – marking the Yaris’s 1998 debut – but more colours will follow, namely silver, white or black, each with a bi-tone roof.
A number of grey highlights will also help to distinguish the Y20 – including on the 16-inch alloy wheels, side mouldings, front grille, door mirror casings and fog light surrounds.
The theme continues inside, with a dark grey centre console and steering wheel inserts, along with a new check-patterned fabric upholstery. Satin chrome air vents feature too, as do black floor mats with silver edging.
The icing on the cake is Y20 badging at the rear of the car and on the instrument panel.
There is no word yet on powertrain options, but expect the trim to be available for both the 1.5-litre petrol option and its hybrid sibling.
The Toyota Yaris Y20 will join the GR Sport to swell the hatchback’s range, with the latter taking inspiration from the limited-run GRMN hot hatch with a number of racy additions.
Pricing and delivery dates for the UK on both cars will be revealed at a later date.
