NEW CARS

The Rockstar of city cars

Outside , the car exhibits an exquisite design . While its chrome front grille provides a sporty yet classy look , the new Toyota Starlet is particularly aesthetically pleasing with its stunning 16-inch aluminium wheels and automatic LED headlights .
Inside , with a leather steering wheel and a stylish dashboard and a 9-inch multimedia interface , along with a start and stop button for the engine ignition system , you ’ ll find nothing but convenience and comfort . You may also connect your smartphone with its integrated Apple Car Play or Android device .
When it comes to passenger safety , this five-door car is equipped with driver and passenger airbags . Its Electronic Brakeforce Distribution ( EBD ) system does a great job stopping the 105 horsepower under the bonnet .
At the back , a rear-view camera is fitted with parking sensors embedded in the rear bumpers , helping you better operate in reverse gear . The boot has up to 345 litres of space and 1085 litres with the rear seats folded down .
A 1.5-litre engine powers the Starlet . This is the optimal power for dynamic driving , especially for a city car that reaches 138 NM at 4,400 RPM . With a fuel tank capacity of 37 litres , be it for travelling in the city or long distances , the car is highly advantageous for everyday use . It has a significantly lower fuel consumption as well , thanks to its
4-speed gearbox ( auto transmission ) and engine technology . This family-friendly Toyota Starlet comes in two versions , the GL and GLX , both boasting an automatic gearbox .
Available in various colours at Toyota Mauritius Ltd , you can benefit from a 5-year or 150,000 km warranty along with a 4-year service plan upon purchase of the new Starlet .
