Toyota is doing a very good job. The best proof is the new Yaris-sized hybrid, the Aqua. The carmaker was advised to sell it on the European market and it would outrun a lot of other models.
It seems that so far it had received a total of 60.000 pre-orders for the car and this figure is a very amazing one as the Japanese company was only thinking of selling 12.000 units / month on the home market. The customers will be obliged to wait around four months to put their hands on the keys.
The new Aqua features a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 74 horsepower and it is matted to a 45 kW motor as well. The power is being sent to the wheels through a CVT transmission. The car is able to deliver 100 horsepower and it can reach 100 km/k in 10.7 seconds. Its price on the Japanese market is $ 21.770, but if you try in different places you might find a price difference and maybe a cheaper one.
