It may not fit a whole football team, but it sure wins when it comes to saving fuel. The Toyota Vitz fuel consumption is exceptionally low, but before showing you those details let’s take a look at the other aspects of the powerful subcompact. The Vitz is also known as the Yaris outside Japan. Here’s a fun fact on the Yaris: it was the first car in its class to come already equipped with not just the standard five, but nine airbags, making it one of the safest cars to be in. What else does the Vitz have up its sleeve? Top-notch safety Continuing our discussion on safety, it’s nice to know that all Vitz models from 2009 have front and rear curtain airbags in addition to front seat-mounted airbags. The 2010 model release has improved safety features, also called driving guides. These are Traction Control, Vehicle Stability Control, Brake Assist, and Electronic Brake-force Distribution, in addition to the existing anti-lock braking system. Here’s another fun fact! Did you know that it’s the first car in the world to have specially-cut UV glass installed? The glass is able to effectively reduce the amount of ultraviolet light that penetrates the vehicle—99%, thereby protecting passengers from harmful UV rays that cause damage to the skin and eyes. Aerodynamic shape There’s really something adorable—the Japanese would say kawaii, or cute—about a hatchback’s shape. Well, the shape isn’t just for aesthetics; it has a function too. The sleek planes of the Vitz make it highly aerodynamic, reducing drag from pulling the car back at high speeds. To counter drag, the engine will have to work twice as hard and use up more fuel. By being aerodynamic, the car keeps its engine it tip-top shape, and the Toyota Vitz’s fuel consumption is low too. Inside the hatch, one can easily see that it is quite cozy but still spacious for its size. The soft padding covering the door trims provide comfort for passengers and the boot area is spacious enough for your weekend luggage and even your whole football team’s equipment. Something special In 2010, the Vitz was installed with an Eco Driving Indicator which basically informs the driver if he has been keeping his Toyota Vitz’s fuel consumption or if he’s wasting fuel. Another nifty trick the Vitz has: it is able to turn its headlights on automatically, especially if the driver forgets! For the Vitz, this isn’t a problem—its instinctive headlights will step up to the job of providing illumination as needed. Another high-tech driving assistance comes in the form of a rearview monitor which provides the driver with a clear view of the space behind the vehicle so that the driver can back up or park without mishaps. Gas-saving And now for the winning factor: how much does the Vitz use up? In the city, the car can run up to 29 miles on a single gallon; on the highway, it gets up to 36 miles per gallon. Its extremely high fuel economy makes it a must-have especially if you’re looking for a practical little car that packs a lot of punch. The Toyota Vitz’s fuel consumption alone is enough to make it a winner.
