CMH Toyota Alberton displayed and presented the All New Toyota Yaris at their branch.

The new generation Toyota Yaris is truly an eye-catching vehicle that turns heads at CMH Toyota Alberton. Every morning the Dealership opens at 08:00 AM and the first thing customers see when they walk in, is the sexy, bigger new generation Toyota Yaris on their floor.   Since the first launch and first test drive day at CMH Toyota Alberton on the 17th of February 2018, it really started to grab a lot of attention.     The new generation Toyota Yaris is related to the Yaris that everyone has known, until now, and will continue in its current form in most global markets even more. All the new Toyota Yaris versions are powered by a 1.5litre engine that delivers 79kW and 140Nm. The Sport range adds leather seats, Automatic climate control, high-definition instruments, two additional speakers with red stitching on the steering wheel and gear knob. The red accent stripes, side skirts, dark metallic front grille, projector headlights, front fog lights, LED taillights and rear spoiler really tells this new model apart from the older Toyota Yaris models.                                                                                  Some of the customers that already purchased the new generation Toyota Yaris vehicles at CMH
