The new 2016 Toyota Verso MPV now comes with Toyota Safety Sense – across all models as standard.
Toyota has upgraded the specification of its popular, flexible and spacious MPV, which has plenty of models in the range that will seat 7 occupants, making it perfect for larger families. Safety is of course a key decision factor when purchasing a family car, and though the Verso is already rated 5-stars by experts Euro NCAP, Toyota has added an extra layer of active safety technologies with the Toyota Safety Sense Package.

What does Safey Sense Include?
The package, now fitted as standard to all new model year ’16 Verso, includes:
Pre-Collision system that is made up of and a pre-collison warning (visual and audible sounds to warn the driver of an impending collision), pre-collision brake assist (which primes the brakes for increased stopping power for the moment when the brake pedal is pressed) as well as Autonomous Emergency Braking, which automatically applies the brakes if the driver does not respond, mitigating the potential damage or avoiding the collision altogether.
Automatic high beam which automatically dips the headlights when it detects the headlights of oncoming traffic, the taillights of of vehicles ahead and when it’s in a built-up area.
Lane departure alert warns the driver with audible and visual signals if they stray over the white line without indicating, helping to prevent head-on collisions.

New Verso Design
A new design model has been slipped into the lineup which already features Active, Icon and top-spec Excel. It’s available with either the 1.8-litre petrol automatic or 1.6-litre D-4D diesel engine and is highly specified, with great features such as Satellite navigation, reversing camera, rear privacy glass and a fixed panoramic roof. These features are over and above the standard specification of an Icon model, which has DAB radio, automatic headlights, cruise control, climate control, six-speaker audio system and electric power windows in the front and rear.
