The launch of the third generation Toyota Yaris adds a new chapter to the model’s ongoing success story.

The second generation Toyota Yaris is praised for its interior roominess, durability, versatility, engine

Exciting design, ultimate performance and ground-breaking efficiency: this is what the new
Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG is all about. The top-of-the-range version of the four-door coupé is
equipped with the newly developed AMG V8 biturbo engine, featuring a peak output of up to 410 kW
and 800 Nm of torque (with AMG Performance Package), as well as the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed
sports transmission.

On top of this, the vehicle’s fuel consumption of 9.9 litres per 100 km (NEDC) is improved by 32
percent (4.6 litres) compared with the previous model, representing a quantum leap forward. The NEDC
fuel consumption of 9.9 litres per 100 km equates to a CO2 output of 231 g/km. Thanks to these

high-performance coupé segment, but is also more fuel efficient than significantly lower-powered vehicles.
Both performance variants have identical fuel consumption and CO2 figures.
