Toyota re-styles no-frills models to drive China fightback

Toyota Motor is giving its Vios and Yaris models a major makeover for China as part of the Japanese group’s make-or-break move into the no-frills entry-level segment of the world’s biggest autos market.

Versions of the Vios and Yaris have done relatively well in the United States, Europe and Japan, “but we have not made sufficient progress with the car in China”, Hiroji Onishi, head of Toyota’s China operations, told reporters during the Shanghai auto show on Sunday.
