The Toyota Verso was designed with families in mind. It has a good-sized boot and spacious interior; it is ideal for the everyday demands of family life. Launched in 2009 at the Geneva Motor Show, the Verso was introduced to the market with the intention of providing a reliable and practical family MPV.

The Toyota Verso has proven a popular choice, with a reputation for reliability and good build quality. It competes against other MPVs on the market, such as; the Ford S-Max, the Ford Galaxy, the Renault Grand Scenic, the Volkswagen Sharan and the Mazda 5. The Verso is an attractive alternative to its rivals, as a well-designed and practical seven-seater MPV.

Toyota Verso updates and facelifts

Toyota gave the Verso a facelift in 2013, updating the interior and exterior with some modern technology. The exterior received a new bumper design and body shape that made it look more attractive. Inside, a 6.1-inch infotainment system was installed with an integrated sat nav. Toyota also revised the engine range. Offering a range of high performing diesel and petrol engines. The suspension set-up on the Verso was also improved, providing a smoother ride when on rough roads.

Toyota halted production of the Verso in 2018, after the growth in popularity of SUVs over MPVs.

Practicality and style of the car

The Toyota Verso has a 178-litre boot with all seven seats up. With the third row of seats folded neatly down in the rear, it reveals a 440-litre boot. When all the rear seats are folded down, a large 1,696-litre boot space is revealed, which is perfect for transporting bulky items and storage boxes. This offers more space than the Mazda 5’s 1,566 litres.

The boot space can be easily adapted to fit different needs. The rear seats fold flat into the floor, creating a flat loading bay. There is also no lip on the boot, making heavy items easier to load. There is an out-of-the-way storage area under the floor of the boot. This can be used to store the parcel shelf when not in use or to store other personal belongings out of view.

The seats on the middle row can also be individually slid forwards or backwards. This increases the boot size slightly or frees up some more legroom.

The Toyota Verso can tow up to 1,300kg with either a diesel or petrol engine. This is enough to enable drivers to tow a medium sized trailer or small caravan.

Running costs

Part of the Toyota Verso’s appeal is its reasonable running costs. Falling into insurance groups 10 to 19, the Verso sits in a lower insurance group than most of its competitors. The Volkswagen Sharan, for example, falls into insurance groups 15 to 25, and the Ford S-Max falls into groups 16 to 34.

Road tax on the Verso varies between £35 to £320 depending on the trim and engine type of your selected model.
