A few days ago, Guangzhou Auto Toyota confirmed that it would launch a new model of YARiS L. the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has announced the basic information of the new car. Some netizens can't help saying after seeing the picture of the real car: too ugly!

The new Toyota YARiS L has a great adjustment in appearance and has many similarities with the new YARiS released overseas. The new domestic YARiS L is no longer a cash beard face. Compared with the current model, the new car uses a new front face design, and the front grille of the original "mustache" has been updated to a hexagonal "big mouth" shape.

The rear part of the new car has also changed a lot. the line under the rear window of the new car is completely different from that of the cash, and the size of the rear window is narrower. There is another black trim panel running through the rear door of the new car, and the shape of the taillight is also different from the cash, the size is smaller, and the position of the brand and model LOGO has also been adjusted. At the bottom of the rear, the lower part of the rear bumper of the new car is also made up of black and silver trim panels, further adding cross-border style.

According to the declaration information, the length, width and height of the new car are 4160/1720/1520mm, the wheelbase remains the same as 2550mm, and the width and height have increased. The new car is equipped with 15-inch rims and a tyre size of 185Compact 60R15. The original car is designed with steel rims and rims, and alloy rims are optional.

Some netizens mentioned that there was a feeling of cheap copycat cars on this car body a few years ago. Some netizens even think that the elderly scooter has a sense of vision.

Of course, although the new domestic YARiS L has some similarities with the overseas version of the new YARiS, the overseas version has already used the TNGA architecture platform, and the domestic new model is still based on the previous generation of models.

When the overseas version of the new generation of models on the market, but the domestic listing of the previous generation of models, it is really quite embarrassing.
