Toyota says the 100bhp 1,3-litre petrol model returns 55.4mpg and emits 119g/km of CO2,placing it in the tax band B along.

Also in that tax band is the with the 90bhp 1.4 D-4D diesel, returning 68.9mpg and emitting 109g/km, and the 69bhp 1.0-litre petrol with figures of 56.5mpg and 118g/km.

The 1.33 and 1.4 D-4D are both equipped with a new six-speed manual gearbox. Toyota says all versions feature improved efficiency and reduced powertrain weight. An upgraded multimode automated-manual gearbox is an option.
