Facing an increasing demand for small yet spacious vehicles, Toyota decided to build a minivan based on its well-known Yaris.
In 1997, Toyota showcased the Reference concept-car at the Tokyo Motor Show, and there were just a few who trusted the carmaker to launch it as a serial model. But the concept became a reality two years later when the carmaker introduced the Fun Cargo on the Japanese market. Soon after, Toyota exported the car to other markets under the Yaris Verso name. In 2003, Toyota improved the vehicle and made it safer and with great fuel-efficiency.
For the facelifted version, Toyota improved the Verso's front fascia and installed clear-lenses headlights. The bumper went through a mild update and included side scoops faking air-intakes to cool the brakes and a broad grille in the lower bumper. From its sides, the designers couldn't do anything else to improve the tall, boxy look of the bodywork, and despite some rumors, they didn't put sliding doors either, and they kept the tailgate with a side-opening system.
Inside, there were some minor overall changes, but the car finally received a CD-player instead of the older cassette-player. Depending on the trim level, the Yaris Verso featured buttons on the steering wheel, which was basically the biggest improvement.
Under the hood, Toyota installed new Euro 4 engines to comply with the European regulations. Its engines ranged between a 75 hp turbodiesel and a lively 1.5-liter VVTi unit that provided 106 hp.
