It was more than just an exercise in business savvy when motoring giants Toyota and Suzuki teamed up for a collaboration. The partnership not only birthed the new range of Toyota Starlet but also encouraged Toyota to adopt a welcome new range of interior and exterior aesthetics. The result is a bold effort that is present when we examine the exterior of the new range.
There has been a focus on the LED project headlights that are married with daytime running lamps and fog lights. The redesign is also clear in the front grille, which has enjoyed an update. Even the front bumper has felt the effect of the redesign. While the pricing of the Toyota Starlet allows it to fall under “budget motoring”, these nifty touches elevate the appearance of the vehicle to a premium brand.
Attention has also been paid to the design on the side profile of the Toyota Starlet. It enjoys a sharper, more refined edge. This is complemented by the new range resting on 16” alloy wheels. This image is completed when we observe the model from behind, where the rear spoiler exudes a distinct racy feel. A thoughtful exterior feature that is also included, is auto-retractable mirrors. Toyota is known for its distinct emphasis on safety, and the mirrors are designed to fold inward when the occupant is parked.
Three factors stand out when we observe the interior of the new range: Space, Innovation, and Safety. Reviews of the new Toyota Starlet speak on the obvious emphasis that Toyota has placed on ensuring sufficient head and legroom. Not just for the drivers of the vehicle, but the occupants as well. The split rear seat allows customers to load longer objects and the boot space comprises up to 314 liters of space.
The interior view of the Toyota Starlet resembles a tech hub. Toyota clearly intends to make every trip unforgettable with the inclusion of a Display Audio Touchscreen which enables users to connect their devices to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The range also features Bluetooth and USB connectivity throughout the vehicle. The Toyota Starlet comes standard with Toyota Connect, which links to your MyToyota app. Additional interior features include in-car Wifi, and the ability to access your Digital Logbook.
Comfort was also a clear factor that came into play with the inclusion of 3 USB ports that assist with on-the-go charging. All-round electric windows and automatic air conditioning ensure that occupants are as at ease, as they are entertained.
