Yaris HSD concept (Japan, 2011)

The Yaris HSD concept kept most of the qualities of the current model, offering customers a combination of small, compact packaging and a spacious, practical interior.

On the outside the hybrid concept received a new, more advanced and sophisticated style, which includes a new shallow upper grille opening that is flanked by highly contoured headlamps and helps air flow smoothly over the upper half of the body. The brand’s logo has been integrated on the front lip of the bonnet.

In profile, the Yaris HSD has a sleek, monoform shape which is emphasised by the long roofline, with a single line running through the length of the vehicle. The short front and rear overhangs and a long wheelbase help to maximize the interior space of the concept car.
