The interior is redisigned too. There is an altered center console, dark trim finish and perfected seat fabrics. A color TFT screen has been added to the upper instrument panel too.
Moreover, the Toyota Touch 2 with Go system is available on Excel and Excel Plus models. It contributes to the technological comfort of the cars with navigation and connectivity functions, including access to live traffic information.
