The Toyota Yaris Verso is a mini MPV produced by Toyota Motor Corporation. In Japan it was called the Fun Cargo. It was replaced in 2004 by the Ractis but continued in many markets until 2005. Some Caribbean countries still have the Yaris Verso in production.
Most reviews in the UK, where the car has since been replaced by the Verso-S, have praised the space and the driving characteristics whilst passing adverse comment on the car's appearance.[1] The vehicle earned the nickname of "ice-cream van" in the UK for its boxy appearance and shape.[2][3] Jeremy Clarkson, co-host of BBC TV series Top Gear, criticized its appearance in Series 16 of the show, calling it "utterly boring" and recommending it to "people whose lives are completely empty".[4] [5]
The car was available with 1.3 and 1.5 liter petrol engines, and in 2001 a 1.4 liter D4-D diesel version was introduced. In Japan there was also a four-wheel drive version of the 1.5 litre model (NCP25). In some markets a two-seater van with stripped equipment was also available.
