All-New 2020 Toyota Yaris Hatchback Combines Technology, Cargo Capacity and Practicality

April 1, 2019

PLANO, Texas, April 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The 2020 Yaris embodies the ideal formula for modern hatchback appeal: make it fun, make it efficient and keep it affordable. Add in the latest in multimedia technology to go with practicality and value, and the new Yaris Hatchback hits all the key points its customer demands. It combines the sporty fun and premium engineering of the Yaris sedan in an audaciously styled hatchback while adding other upgrades. Toyota makes another big step for high-quality small cars by introducing the all-new 2020 Yaris Hatchback that will debut at the New York International Auto Show.

It will be offered in mono-spec LE and XLE grades, with standard equipment levels in both that defy the segment expectations.

Refuses to Blend In

A bold, “cab-rearward” design gives the 2020 Yaris Hatchback a distinct hunkered-down, bulldog-like stance. The front end projects a gutsy attitude with a hexagon lower front grille and sharp-eyed headlamps. The XLE grade’s automatic LED headlamps incorporate daytime running lamps. A choice of vibrant exterior colors amps up the head-turning quotient: Stealth, Graphite, Pulse, Sapphire, Chromium, Frost and Icicle.

At 161.6 inches long, the Yaris Hatchback can scoot into parking spaces that most others pass up. That’s a real bonus for urban dwellers, and so is the car’s super-tight 32.2-ft. turning circle. Meanwhile, the new Yaris Hatchback is spacious, with a wheelbase nearly 2.4 inches longer than the previous Yaris Liftback model. The 15.9 cu. ft., trunk area is nearly the size found in a midsize sedan.

Raise Your Standards

On all 2020 Yaris Hatchback models, standard 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels, body-color side mirrors and door handles, and a chrome tailpipe tip set the premium tone. The side mirrors are power-adjustable and have integrated LED turn signals, and they’re also heated for quick cold-weather defrosting.

The long list of standard features includes many that are usually optional or offered only on upgrade models: Smart Key Entry with Push Button Start, fog lights, variable intermittent windshield wipers, rear backup camera, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, chrome interior door handles, and driver and front passenger sun visors with illuminated vanity mirrors. There’s even a first aid kit.

Max Multimedia

The standard 7-inch Touchscreen display audio system is ready to rock or hip-hop with clear, powerful sound played through six speakers. Maximizing connectivity and control, the system is equipped with standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® as well as voice recognition and Bluetooth wireless technology for hands-free phone operation. The 7-inch touchscreen display screen is a touchscreen or can be controlled by the remote commander knob.

Standard SiriusXM Satellite Radio comes with a three-month All Access trial subscription (150+ channels, including commercial-free music). USB ports and an auxiliary input ensure connectivity for all types of devices, and the sporty steering wheel integrates control switches for the audio and phone.

Here’s another surprise from the 2020 Yaris Hatchback: both the LE and XLE grades are equipped with navigation hardware; the customer simply needs to buy the accessory SD card through a Toyota dealer to activate navigation capability.

Stepping up to the XLE brings a taste of luxury with leatherette seating surfaces (choice of gray or black), automatic climate control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, automatic LED headlamps, and leather-trimmed steering wheel, shift knob and parking brake handle.

Big Safety in a Small Car

The 2020 Yaris Hatchback will come equipped as standard with a Low-speed Pre-collision Safety System in both model grades (standard on the Yaris Sedan, too). The system scans the road ahead for potential vehicle collisions. If a potential frontal collision is detected, an audio/visual alert and braking assistance are designed to automatically activate. Should the driver not respond, this system may automatically apply the brakes.

The Yaris Hatchback comes standard with an advanced active safety system that includes Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Traction Control System (TCS), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), and Brake Override System (BOS). The array of six airbags includes curtain airbags that help protect front and rear seat occupants.

Taut, Toned Athlete

The taut lines of the 2020 Yaris Hatchback are stretched over strong, athletic bones. The body structure comprises 65 percent ultra-high tensile steels and is based on a continuous framework using straight beams wherever possible for maximum strength. The high structural integrity allows the MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion-beam rear suspension to be tuned for ride comfort and handling agility that exemplify the model’s “class above” driving dynamics. Translation: the Yaris Hatchback is a hoot to drive and a comfortable commuter.

The Yaris Hatchback’s tenacious handling is baked into the engineering, not just added on with fat tires and stiff suspension. A rigid steering mount provides a direct yet light feel, and the brakes are tuned to yield a progressive feel when cornering. Entering the curve, the brake pedal provides smooth operation, then leads into a more rigid feel as g-force rises.

Punching Above Its Class

Yaris gets its high appetite for fun and low appetite for fuel from a 1.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine that delivers 106 horsepower. High-compression (12.0:1) and direct fuel injection give the engine ultra-quick responsiveness that’s ideally matched to the standard 6-speed automatic transmission. The transmission’s torque converter locks in all gears for quicker, more direct shifts and greater fuel efficiency. Another surprise in this class is a Sport Mode, which changes the car’s personality with enhanced acceleration response.

The tight structure and finely tuned suspension don’t work alone in providing a comfortable ride. The 2020 Yaris Hatchback employs extensive sound-absorbing measures, including a noise-insulating windshield, to block noise paths into the cabin. Sound-absorbing material inside the tailgate, parcel shelf and spare wheel well help to reduce high-frequency noise entering the cabin from the rear.

Limited Warranty

Toyota’s 36-month/36,000 mile basic new-vehicle warranty applies to all components other than normal wear and maintenance items. Additional 60-month warranties cover the powertrain for 60,000 miles and corrosion with no mileage limitation. Standard Toyota Care is a complimentary plan covering normal factory-scheduled maintenance and 24-hour roadside assistance for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.

CMC Study Shows Social Media Stars Cross Cultural Lines with Big Influence on All Teens and Millennials

March 29, 2019

AHAA: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing is rebranding as Culture Marketing Council: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing, which will continue to elevate the quality and effectiveness of U.S. marketing by harnessing the power of cultural expertise and impact to drive business results.

FAIRFAX, Virginia, March 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — King Bach, Lele Pons, Brent Rivera, Jordyn Woods…these are some of the top social media stars followed by teens today, according to new Digital Lives Study data from the Culture Marketing Council: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing (CMC). While teens and young adults have always set the social trends from the Beatles to the grunge movement, their following of social media influencers is unique because it crosses cultural and racial lines across all segments.

The 13-49 social media influencer follower market is a multicultural majority; 55 percent (6.7 million) of 13-17 followers are multicultural, 51 percent (31.3 million) of 18-49 are multicultural. Sixty-nine percent of Hispanic teens and 51 percent of non-Hispanic teens see the influencer as a trusted source and would consider buying the brand or service they feature.

Other findings released during a recent exclusive CMC webinar include:

Unlike the entertainment industry where the majority of scripted TV show creators and leads are white, 62 percent of top 20 combined Instagram/YouTube leading vloggers in 2018 were multicultural*—58 percent of the 13 to 17 teen segment favorites and 64 percent for the 18 to 34 segment are multicultural.
People are not just following influencers that share their culture or racial profile. Roughly half of all 13-34’s influencers are of another culture—even among non-Hispanic whites—reflecting a generation that is more culturally open.

Six of the nine top influencers crossing teen cultural siloes are multicultural with one-third being of mixed race.
Three of the top four 18-34 influencers crossing siloes are multicultural women—in fact, Lilly Singh will take over Carson Daly’s late-night slot on TV with A Little Late with Lilly Singh this fall.
As a side note, Hispanics follow in-culture favorites no matter the language or where they are based.

Marketing/ads within in-culture spaces are superheroes, increasing purchase intent among Hispanics and non-Hispanic African Americans ages 13 to 49 by 62 and 70 percent, respectively, compared to ads and marketing in mainstream spaces.

“From an Instagram post to a YouTube video, product endorsement in such an influential community can make all the difference in your brand’s perception and success—this is why it’s important to integrate your influencer marketing at every step of the marketing process and be armed with the right cultural insights,” said CMC Research Chair Nancy Tellet, founder, brand & consumer navigator at PureClarity LLC.

Sponsored by Oi2 Media Response, ThinkNow, Univision and Viacom, Digital Lives 2018: A World of Digital ‘Everything’ through a Cultural Lens not only uncovers how digital is used to gather information, socialize, consume or share entertainment, but also explores this behavior through a cultural lens to determine areas of similarities, differences, cultural uniqueness or areas of cultural fusion. The CMC conducted an online quantitative study of 3,500 total 13 to 49-year-old respondents with equal representation of non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic African-Americans and Hispanics.

For more information, visit culturemarketingcouncil.org and follow the CMC on Facebook and Twitter at @cmchispanic. A public version of this study is available on culturemarketingcouncil.org with only CMC members having full access to the study.

The Hasty Pudding Institute of 1770 To Honor Grammy and Latin Grammy Award Winner Marc Anthony With the Order of the Golden Sphinx

March 28, 2019

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, March 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Hasty Pudding Institute of 1770 announced that six-time Grammy® and Latin Grammy® award winner Marc Anthony will be honored and presented with the 2019 Order of the Golden Sphinx award at the 7th Annual Order of the Golden Sphinx Gala at the Pierre in New York City on April 15, 2019.

The Order of the Golden Sphinx, named for a traditional symbol of the Hasty Pudding Institute, is the highest honor bestowed by the Institute, and recognizes individuals in the entertainment industry for their extraordinary contributions to the performing arts. The recipient represents the Institute’s mission to support and foster the performing arts within its membership at Harvard and the community at large.

Previous recipients of the Order of the Golden Sphinx award include Michael Lynton, Chairman of Snap, Inc. and former CEO of Sony Entertainment; David Heyman, producer of Gravity and the Harry Potter film universe; Clive Davis, legendary music producer and Chief Creative Officer of Sony Music; Daryl Roth, ten-time Tony Award-winning Broadway producer; Paris Barclay, two-time Emmy Award-winner and two-term President of the Director’s Guild of America; and Derek McLane, Tony and two-time Emmy-Award winning designer of over 350 productions.

“It is our privilege to present Marc Anthony with the 2019 Order of The Golden Sphinx, as his contributions to the world of the performing arts are renowned,” said Hasty Pudding Institute of 1770 Chairman Andrew L. Farkas. “Marc is extraordinarily talented, and has inspired people, young and old, around the world with his music and his generous spirit, and continues to elevate all of those around him while celebrating all that is good in this world.”

“I am honored to receive the Order of the Golden Sphinx Award this year,” replied Marc Anthony. “Growing up in New York City, I benefited from performing arts programs in our community. The cultivation of new talent around the world is the future of generations everywhere.”

MARC ANTHONY is one of the most influential artists of his time and a true ambassador of Latin music and culture. He has received countless gold and platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has been credited with over 30 Billboard chart hits and over 4.7 Billion views on YouTube.

Anthony has also established a highly credible acting résumé. Besides his music and acting accomplishments, in 2012, the six-time GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® Award winner launched the Maestro Cares Foundation, hosting a series of fundraisers throughout the year to benefit the non-profit organization and build orphanages in Latin America. He also has his own clothing and accessories line for Kohl’s, and he is a minority owner of The Miami Dolphins. His entertainment and sports venture, Magnus Media, is the leading Latin artist and athlete representation company in the nation and focuses on developing new ventures that bridge content creation and commerce.

On November 16^th, Anthony received the prestigious “Person of the Year” honor from the Latin Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. In September of 2017, Marc Anthony and Magnus created the alliance of artists and athletes, Somos Una Voz, to help provide humanitarian relief to areas affected by natural disasters throughout the southern United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico and other affected areas in the Caribbean.

“We are thrilled to launch Hazte Contar, the most robust and rigorous initiative in the U.S. designed to drive engagement among U.S. Hispanics and raise awareness about the importance of the 2020 Census, the voting process and civic involvement,” said Cesar Conde, Chairman, NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises and NBCUniversal International Group. “Social and community impact have always been central to Telemundo’s values. It is a privilege to have the trust and credibility of our viewers, and this campaign will help to ensure Hispanics are engaged and informed. The future of America is overwhelmingly Latino and Telemundo is committed to lead this effort and underscore the role of Hispanics in the future of our nation.”

The Hazte Contar campaign will inform the Latino community about the importance of participating in the Census and will be on hand to offer assistance to viewers, address questions and encourage completion of Census forms for this once in a decade opportunity.

Hazte Contar will leverage Telemundo’s national reach and diverse portfolio of properties including the national network, 30 stations, cable and digital platforms, grassroots and regional presence through comprehensive outreach including:

HAZTE CONTAR COMMUNITY TOUR: Building on the success of Telemundo’s recent cross-country Community Empowerment Tour to inform and provide resources to consumers on opportunities to register to vote, the Hazte Contar campaign will feature an expansive tour across the country visiting major Hispanic markets such as New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Orlando, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Denver and El Paso. Beginning in 2019 through 2020, the cross-country tour will leverage partner organizations’ work to increase Census and voter participation among Latinos. The tour will incorporate pop-up location sites where community members can visit and receive accurate information from experts on the benefits of participating in the Census. Experts will also be available to provide guidance and answer questions to guarantee that the Hispanic community participates without hesitation or concerns. The Hazte Contar tour will ensure Latinos across the country have the access and information to make their voice heard.
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS: Telemundo will partner with over 50 National and local Hispanic organizations including UnidosUS, Hispanic Federation, NALEO Educational Fund, Voto Latino, League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and the National Hispanic Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) to expand its reach to millions of US Hispanics and provide the resources necessary to educate and empower the community on the importance of making their voices heard.

SPECIAL SEGMENTS: Telemundo will launch a series of ongoing special segments focused on all-things Census across network shows including “Un Nuevo Día” and “Al Rojo Vivo.” Noticias Telemundo special l segments will incorporate a variety of national experts and trusted voices across “Noticias Telemundo,” “Noticias Telemundo Fin de Semana,” “Noticias Telemundo Mediodía” and “Enfoque con José Díaz-Balart” to educate viewers on the importance of being involved and to inform all audiences on how their voices can be heard and counted during this critically important process.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS: Leading up to the 2020 Census, Telemundo will roll out a series of public service announcements featuring top on-air talent including José Díaz-Balart, María Celeste Arrarás, Julio Vaqueiro, Vanessa Hauc, Adamari López, Jorge Bernal, Don Francisco, and Rashel Diaz, among others, to leverage their connection with the community and help combat many of the key reasons Latinos are hesitant to participate in the 2020 Census.

DIGITAL RESOURCES: Key resources and information on Census and Voter Registration will be available on the specialized website, www.haztecontar.com, in English and Spanish, including partner resources and specific information based on an individual’s locations. This includes information on closest Census assistance locations, polling locations, and voter information tools. Digital content and up-to-date material will continuously be featured on Telemundo.com, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. Viewers can also follow the campaign on social media using the hashtag #HazteContar.

CANDIDATE FORUMS: Telemundo will host election candidate forums across its stations and affiliates, including the first Spanish-language Democratic presidential debate in partnership with NBC News and MSNBC in June.

The U.S. Census affects the lives of all Americans by determining funding for communities, representation in Congress, and informing critical community budget and financial decisions. As the nation’s second largest population group and one of its fastest growing communities, Latinos account for more than one of every six U.S. residents, and one of every four of the country’s population under 18. The 2020 Census will help determine how more than $700 billion in federal government resources will be distributed each year for the next decade to states and localities.
