CarzPage ReviewToyota Verso-S 2011

toyotaversos2011carreview_carzpageCarzPage ReviewToyota Verso-S 2011. It is 11 years ago, Toyota has been at the top of the mini-MPV segment with the introduction of the Yaris Verso. Now, six years after the end of the vehicle, came as “ice cream truck” to be known, Toyota makes a long awaited return of the sector with the Verso-S.
2011 Toyota Verso-S – Return of the mini-MPV Toyota

The previous iteration, which was sold in the UK – it was a Mk2, which was marketed only in Japan – accounted for more than 10,000 retail outlets here.

Yes, once the S Verso has made its way up to highway speed to beat is conveniently enough, but you have the choice question – if one can call it that – from a single, seemingly too weak engine ‘option’.
You mean there is no diesel?

Nope. Our fellow Europeans across the Channel have the option of a 1.4 diesel, but not here. It is the 1.33-liter gasoline engine, or nothing at all – although there is a six-speed manual ‘box if you do not feel like the car – because the added bonus (around 1000), fuel costs and no road tax savings on gasoline Toyota has led to decision not to interfere with customers in the UK offers an oil-burner. Is not it only a four-door iQ?
