Toyota Yaris Hatchback Receives 5-Star Euro NCAP Safety Rating [Video]

Toyota Yaris Hatchback is one of the safest hatchbacks in the world today, with a Euro NCAP safety rating of 5 stars. The hatchback, which is on sale in the international markets for quite-a-some time now, received a 5-star safety ratings thanks to its attractive safety package including 7 airbags, lane assist system and auto brake too.

Interestingly, Toyota will be launching the Yaris sedan in India in a couple of weeks from now and the superior safety ratings on the hatchback will boost the confidence of potential buyers, as this is the first time Toyota is launching a mid-size sedan in India.

There will be no hatchback version on sale in India, but only a sedan version. Sadly, there was no safety ratings of the sedan in the Euro NCAP rating, but given the same platform and equipment like airbags, ABD etc, the sedan will be high on rating too.

The Toyota Yaris Sedan, however, won’t come with auto braking and lane assist system, that may impact the safety ratings in the future, if any. The Yaris sedan will be offered with only one engine option – a 1.5-litre petrol unit with 120+ horses on the tap. The engine will be mated to either a manual or a automatic gearbox.
