Two new Toyota Yaris special-edition models have been announced – the Yaris Edition and Yaris Trend.

Both come with a range of trim upgrades, including 'blacked-out' rear pillars, and are available in three- or five-door forms. Colours are Tyrol Silver or Cirrus White.

The Yaris Edition is based on entry-level T2 trim and comes with a 1.0-litre VVT-I petrol engine and a five-speed manual gearbox as standard.

Extra kit includes 15-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured door mirrors and handles, front foglamps, rear privacy glass, chrome boot trim and a leather-trimmed gearknob. Air-conditioning is available as an option.

Prices for Edition models start at £11,695; a £1060 premium over T2 models.
