Fall in love with the beauty of South Africa all over again from the comfort of this stylish hatchback. Whether your perfect outing is a slick city hangout, a kloofing adrenaline rush in the Magaliesberg, spotting game in the Kruger, or catching concerts at music festivals, the Toyota Starlet makes space for it all.
The sleek, modern design is as much at home at the theatre or your favourite restaurant’s parking lot, as it is exploring the Namaqualand Flower Route or your favourite small town. The Toyota Starlet’s spacious interior means comfort during even those long holiday trips from Joburg to the coast. And, with frugal fuel consumption of only 5.4ℓ/100km for manual and 5.5ℓ/100km for automatic models, stopping to fill up won’t spoil the road trip vibes.
It’s not just getaways, however. Music makes even morning commutes manageable, and the Toyota Starlet doesn’t disappoint. Pick the perfect soundtrack and keep the fun going with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and the touchscreen infotainment system, and keep your cool with the auto air conditioner. Who says every day can’t feel like a holiday?
Maximise every moment of your life, knowing that the Toyota Starlet’s safety features – like an advanced braking system and Stability and Hill-Assist Control, and even side and curtain airbags – are there to keep you safe and give you peace of mind. The Toyota Starlet even has Rear Park Distance Control for those times when you need to squeeze into those tight spots.
Although everyone’s idea of fun is different, the Toyota Starlet comes to the party every time. From popping out for groceries or doing the school run, to putting down the split rear seats to fit an enormous Comic Con costume you didn’t quite think through, let the Toyota Starlet make space for every kind of fun in every drive. All you need to do, is enjoy the ride.
