THE LONDON Motor Show at Earls Court (October 22-31) marks the UK debut of Toyota's new flexible friend, the Yaris Verso.

Verso is the latest derivative of the new and very successful Yaris hatchback. It is a stylish, small car that offers young families all the space and performance they want without the cost of upgrading to a larger car. It will go on sale in the UK early next year.

However, Yaris Verso also has a versatility thanks to its unique design of second row 'flat-in-floor' retractable rear seats. Within seconds, any member of the family can fold away the left and right rear seats to create a low, flat floor and an incredible 2,160 litres of load space. Toyota made the Yaris Verso's seat flexibility easy to use. Key to this is the fact that the folding seats remain in the car, eliminating the problem of storage for those without a private garage.

The Yaris Verso is light and nimble to drive in city conditions and the high seating position is excellent in terms of comfort and road visibility.
