Toyota need to send in the plumbers because they have a serious leak! Images of the next Toyota Yaris have appeared on the web and by the looks of things, this new car will give the likes of Ford’s Fiesta a serious run for its money.

Toyota is believed to be close to launching the European-spec Yaris, which will weigh at least 30kg less than its predecessor. The new Yaris is also 100mm longer, 20mm lower and has a wheelbase some 50mm longer than the outgoing generation.

The all-new Yaris is expected to be offered with two petrol options, a 1.0-litre developing 68 horsepower and a 1.3-litre with 93 horsepower, with the latter getting start-stop function. A diesel and a hybrid version are likely to be offered as well.

We will bring you more when we get it.
