Toyota’s 2013 Yaris “Trend” in Paris
 

On sale date in Europe begins early next year.

Wayne Gerdes - CleanMPG - Sept. 18, 2012

New 2013 Yaris "Trend" at the Paris Auto Show. It will go on sale in Europe next year. It’s aimed at younger buyers of course ;)

At the launch of the all-new Yaris in late 2011, it was the first B-segment car to offer customers a truly yet affordable multimedia system – Toyota Touch and, with satellite navigation, Toyota Touch & Go.

For more on the Toyota Touch and Touch&Go, look no further than the following: “Toyota Touch” – A New Affordable Infotainment Interface for Europeans

Exterior

The Yaris Trend exterior is the 2013 Yaris with a few new shiny parts. Chrome elements in the fog light surrounds, headlamps, beltline and side view mirror covers. White “Trends” include matching white covers in the headlamp surrounds. In addition, there is a Deco line surface detail that runs across the bodywork from the headlights.

Two-tone 16 in alloys have machine-finished surfaces and

At the rear there is a roof spoiler and hybrid-style LED lamp clusters are standard.

Interior


Inside the Trend continues the black and white finish theme with a contrasting touch of ochre.

The soft-touch dashboard and upper door panels are finished in white and the dash matches the exterior bodywork with the really cool looking and unique Deco line surface detail.

The black and white design theme follows into the seat upholstery with the upper seatback bolsters and headrests finished in pearl white leather-look material with more ochre stitching and the headrests (front and rear) have the Deco line surface finishing.

The seats’ central fabric inserts have been made softer and there is new grey piping in line with the change from black to grey seatbelts.

The combination meter follows the same color theme, in black and white with ochre accents.

All in, I can only hope the interior white surfaces are cleanable or at least very stain resistant. The Trend interior color scheme looks sharp as hell considering it was created form the meager interior appointments of the European Yaris itself.

I like it, but think that interior will be a bear to keep clean. It will be a nightmare for anyone with young children that like to touch everything.
