The second generation Ractis was unveiled at the2010 Paris Motor Show as theToyota Verso-S (Japanese: トヨタ・ヴァーソ・S,Toyota Vuāso S).[9][10] The Ractis is produced at the Iwate plant byKanto Auto Works. It is available in 1.3 L and 1.5 L engines withG,X andS grades in Japan. The introduction of the Verso-S marked the re-entry of Toyota into the European B-MPV segment.
When it hit the market, the Verso-S had the shortest overall length of any mini MPV in Europe.[11] The Verso-S is available with a choice of two engines, a 1.3-litrepetrol unit or a 1.4-litre D-4Dturbo-diesel unit, both mated to a six-speedmanual transmission. A handicap accessible model, the Welcab, was also available. The simplest version has a rotating front seat which can reach outside of the car; other variants can accommodate wheelchairs and some have extended roofs.
The petrol derivative is also offered with an optional,Multidrive SCVT, which features a seven speed, sequential paddle shift mode. The petrol model delivers a combined fuel economy of 18.2 km/L (51 mpg‑imp; 43 mpg‑US) and CO2 emissions of 127 g/km. The diesel model delivers 23.25 km/L (66 mpg‑imp; 55 mpg‑US) and 113 g/km respectively.[12]
Toyota UK discontinued the Verso-S in 2013.[citation needed] On June 30, 2016, Toyota confirmed that the Ractis reached the end of production for Japanese, Hong Kong and Macau markets, but the Verso-S continued to be produced for European markets until 2017.[citation needed] Sales of the Ractis in Japan ended on August 31, 2016.[citation needed] It was succeeded by theToyota Tank/Roomy.
The five-seater variant of the faceliftedXP170 Sienta, theFunbase, which was released on September 11, 2018, is also considered as the successor of the Ractis.
Subaru announced a rebadgedOEM version of the Ractis for the Japanese market on November 29, 2010. Known as theSubaru Trezia (Japanese: スバル・トレジア,Subaru Torejia), the badge engineered model receives unique bumpers, grille, bonnet, front fenders, headlights, rear finisher, and tail light lenses. The name "Trezia" derives from the English language word "treasure".
Engines available consisted of a 1.3-litre1NR-FE and 1.5-litre1NZ-FE, coupled with a CVT.Front-wheel drive is offered as the entry level layout for both engines, withall-wheel drive available as an upgrade on the 1.5-litre version. In January 2011, Subaru showed anSTI-tuned "Trezia STI" at theTokyo Auto Salon.
The Trezia was also sold in Europe inLHD form, but not inRHD markets such as the United Kingdom or Ireland.[citation needed]
