Making a big design statement, the new Vitz features softly contoured lines punctuated by bold swept-back headlights, teardrop rear light clusters and a distinctive chrome grille.

Unique detailing on range-topping XR models ups the aesthetic by adding front fog lamps, glossy smoked 15-inch alloys as well as colour-matched door handles and exterior mirrors.

Thanks to its twin-injection, three-cylinder 1.0-litre engine, the new Vitz delivers best-in-class fuel consumption: 4,4 L per 100km for the manual and 4,2 L/100 km for the AMT (Automated Manual Transmission). AMT combines all the convenience of an auto with the optimised fuel consumption of a manual.

The spacious interior boasts a variety of in-cabin storage including multiple cupholders and a class-leading 295L boot.

Isn’t it comforting to know you’re driving one of the most solidly engineered small cars on the road?

ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) with EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution) is standard as is VSC (Vehicle Stability Control). The AMT model further benefits from HAC (Hill-Assist Control) which stops you from rolling back on an incline.

On the passive safety list there’s driver and passenger airbags, pretensioners with force limiters for the front seatbelts, child locks and ISOFIX enablement. Rear Park Distance Control comes standard while XR models also get an immobiliser and integrated alarm.
