TOYOTA AUSTRALIA has wheeled out a feature-laden new addition to its Yaris range. Badged the Yaris Edge, the limited edition model gains roughly $1000 in additional features for $500 over the price of the base model Yaris YR.

Available on both three and five-door bodystyles, the Edge gets the 15-inch alloys of the up-spec Yaris YRX, a six-stacker CD player with USB input and Bluetooth connectivity for mobile phones and audio players.

The Edge also gets foglights, Edge-branded floormats and special badging.

While equipment levels are upgraded on the Edge, the standard 63kW 1.3 litre inline four used by the Yaris YR remains. A safety package incorporating side and curtain airbags is still a $750 option, as is metallic paint (which costs an extra $300).

The Edge package comes standard with the choice of a five-speed manual or four-speed auto, dual front airbags, power windows, power mirrors, airconditioning, ABS, electronic brake distribution and brake assist.

    The side and curtain airbags are standard in the US on the 09. So is ABS.
    Make them explain BEFORE you make them an offer

    Drum brakes on cars became redundant when disc brake equipped D Type Jags swept all before them at Le Mans 55 years ago.
    The Yaris has drums on the back, unlike the new Jazz and Colt VRX auto.
    Even my push bike has disc brakes on the back, with 6 piston calipers no less.
    Come on Toyota, and come on Motoring Mags. Don't let them get away with it any longer.

    Both The Jazz and Cort VRX auto have rear discs. Even my push bike has rear discs.
    So come on Toyota. Come on Motoring Mags. The miniscule price differential is not worth our lives.
