Toyota Verso (2009 - )  

Compact 7 seater. Excellent Valvematic 1.8 petrol engine with smooth 7-ratio CVT gives 40+ mpg and earns 4 stars.

Manual 2.0 diesel uninspiring to drive. That's only worth 3 stars.

Introduction

Toyota doesn't do a Yaris Verso, a Corolla Verso and an Avensis Verso any more.

Just one Verso, built at the Adapazari factory in Turkey. And, after 430,000 of the previous version, this is the new one, on Toyota's World MC platform.
