Engine of the Year Award

Winner of the "Engine of the Year Award" in 2007 and 2008

For the second year running, Toyota's light and compact 1.0-litre VVT-i engine was awarded the overall honours in the Sub-1.0-litre category. The three-cylinder petrol unit, featured in AYGO, Yaris and iQ, was acclaimed by the judges for smoothness, free-revving character and clever design.

The Engine of the Year Awards are decided by a panel of 65 distinguished motoring journalists from 32 countries around the world. The 2008 winners were announced at a ceremony at Engine Expo 2008 in Stuttgart on 7th May.
