Aside from this, Toyota has also added a throttle controller to improve the pedal input-to-output ratio. This is said to not only result in better engine response but also improve horsepower and enhance accelerations. Despite that, the Yaris G Limited’s 2NR-FE 1.5-litre inline-4 engine continues to output 107 hp (metric) and 140 Nm, just like in the regular Yaris.
There is also a cold air intake added into the engine bay of the Yaris G Limited. By helping with feeding the engine with more cold air that has higher oxygen volume and density. This aids in providing greater combustion efficiency, and help improve the vehicle’s “acceleration feel”.
