Toyota has a new budget hatchback within the local market, and it is called the Vitz. Keen observers will note the product's similarity with the Suzuki Celerio with which it shares its platform and mechanicals. Speaking of which, the Vitz now joins the Celerio as South Africa's most fuel-efficient car, on paper at least. Its 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine produces 49kW and 89Nm of torque and is said to sip unleaded at a rate of 4.4 L/100km. All Vitz models come with a 3-year/100 000km warranty and a 2-service/30 000km service plan as standard.
