The
new Toyota Verso SR is now on sale with more standard kit - including
front parking sensors, new 16" alloys, an in-dash six-CD changer and a
new modular in-car DVD system option from £17,545.
Front
parking sensors are now standard and complement those at the rear, and
as we all know make maneuvering into tight spaces that much easier.
There is now a proximity indicator on the dashboard, giving a clear
display of how close the car is to any other vehicle or obstacle to
make parking lines easier than ever to perfect.
The
SR also adopts new-design five-spoke 16-inch alloy wheels and has the
bonus of an in-dash six-CD changer. These items are all in addition to
the established SR specification, which includes rear privacy glass, a
neat roof spoiler, dual-zone digital climate control, front and rear
electric windows, front armrests, cruise control and the Easy Flat
folding system for the five rear seats.
Taking
its perfect family-transporting act to new levels, there are currently
three versions of the Verso SR to judge, starting with the six-speed
£17,545 1.8-litre VVT-I manual, followed by the £18,045 1.8-litre VVT-I
M/M (semi-automatic) and topped off with the ££18,620 D-4D 140 Manual,
again a six-speed.
The
Verso SR will make boredom a thing of the past on future journeys now,
with the option of Toyota’s new modular ICE (in-car entertainment)
system. This comprises two seven-inch screens (a master and a slave
unit) which fit securely to the back of the front seat headrests for
viewing DVDs or connecting games consoles or cameras. DVDs can be
loaded in the master unit for playback on both screens, or just one,
leaving the other free for gaming.
The
system is compatible with MP3/MP4 and DivX formats and includes a USB
1.1 port on the master unit. The removable screens improve security and
can be used indoors, too, with a suitable AC adapter. The option price,
fitted, is £940, including VAT. If preferred, two master screens can be
specified, at extra cost.
