2007 Toyota Yaris Sedan

The Toyota Vitz, Toyota Echo hatchback, and Toyota Yaris hatchback are the current models of a small subcompact car in Japan launched by Toyota Motor Corporation in 1999.

  • Vitz is the name used in Japan for 3 and 5 door hatchbacks.
  • In Europe and the Americas, it is sold as the Yaris. (The vehicle was known as the Echo until 2005 in Canada and Australia and 2006 in the United States.)"

The name Vitz came from German word "witz", which means "wit," "witticism," or "gag" in English. The name Yaris comes from Greek Mythology. Coincidentally the chief designer for the Yaris is Greek.

Recent Changes[]

  • In 2011 The Mk3 Yaris was released.
  • For 2010MY, the Yaris receives its first mid-cycle facelift. The car also comes with a new Petrol 1.3 litre Dual VVT-i Inline-4 mated to a new 6-speed manual gearbox or optionally, to a semi-automatic MMT transmission first seen in the Auris. The new engine produces 101HP and 132 Nm of torque yet still returns 5.1 lt per 100 km or 46.1 mpg. The new Yaris will also be available with Toyota's new Stop&Start technology which helps explain the low fuel consumption. [1]. Sadly the yaris isn´t sold in north america due to low profit of vente.
  • In 2009, Toyota Australia released a limited edition Yaris Edge. It comes with 15 inch alloy wheels, 6 disc CD audio units with Bluetooth and MP3/USB connectivity and unique 'Edge' floormats and badging. [2]

The Toyota Yaris has an appealing look to it. We never warmed to Toyota's previous subcompact, the Echo, which tried too hard to look different and ended up looking like a puppy.

Though they share platforms and powertrains, the Yaris Liftback and Yaris Sedan were developed under different chief engineers and design teams, providing the entry-level buyer with two distinctive choices in a small, economical subcompact. Toyota is one of the few automakers that can afford such luxury of manpower, and it was put to good use in the Yaris project.

The Liftback was designed around the theme of powerful simplicity," but our first impression was that it's cute as the proverbial bug. With its wedgy profile, large front halogen headlamp clusters, creased hood lines and "T-grille," it has all the character that its predecessor, the unloved Echo, never possessed. Virtually every exterior element is body-colored, but the Yaris avoids looking like a featureless blob due to strategic placement of black trim around the base of the A-pillar, on the B-pillar, on the two strips that run the length of the roof, the front grilles and foglamp surrounds at the base of the windshield.

The rear hatch opens down to the bumper line and raises just high enough to allow a six-foot-tall person to stand under it. Like everything else about the Yaris, the hatch's function feels just right. Opening of the hatch is well damped by two struts, and closing it takes no more than a gentle downward push.

The Yaris sedan's theme is "Simple is Cool", which is based on the Japanese art of flower arranging, where unnecessary decoration is shunned in place of a single, simple design. Its long, stretched cabin, arched beltline and short overhangs give it sporty proportions, and the multi-reflector halogen headlamps lend it a premium look. Longer and wider and riding on a much longer wheelbase than the Echo sedan it replaces, the Yaris sedan has proportions that work together to create a sportier car.

Despite their distinctive styling, both the Yaris Sedan and Yaris Liftback share a 0.29 coefficient of drag, excellent numbers that help quiet the ride and increase fuel economy at cruising speeds."

Reliability[]

  • RECALL ALERT: On Jan 28, 2009, Toyota issued a recall alert affecting 1.3 million Yaris units worldwide, including 134,900 in America due to a seat belt problem - a foam pad could ignite in the event of a severe frontal crash.[3]

Safety[]

They Toyota Yaris underwent crash tests in ANCAP and EuroNCAP with varied results. In EuroNCAP, the Yaris scored 5 stars in frontal, side and even the pole test.[4] However, when ANCAP crash tested the Toyota Yaris, it only scored 4 stars.[5] That's because the model was a base model which didn't have side thorax and head protecting curtain airbags available unlike the car tested in EuroNCAP which had all these airbags.

Unique Attributes[]

Resale Values[]

Sales of the Toyota Yaris began early 2006, and it is being sold as a 2007 year model in North America, replacing the "Not-So-Popular" Echo. Resale value of the Yaris will likley be quite high judging by the very respectable values that used Echos fetch. A visit to a local Toyota dealership shows 3 year old Echos going for $10,000+ USD. Respectfully, a new Yaris stickers for $12-15K depending on options package.

Criticisms[]

  • Comsumers were not thrilled that the rear seats did not fold down smoothly. This created a rough transiton between the seats and the trunk.
  • Though several found the interior of the Yaris spacious and roomy, there were complaints that there should have been a telespoic steering wheel for taller drivers.
  • The unusual location of the speed-o-meter makes the driver's eyes get tired easily.Owners thought they can live with it but they can't.
  • The long road can be boring and you need to make attention to the wind because it a small car.

First Generation (1999-2005)[]

The Yaris went on sale in Europe early in 1999. After the freshening of the European Yaris hatchback in February 2003, a slightly modified version went on sale in Canada for the 2004 model year as the Echo hatchback, but the hatchback was not sold in the United States, where the Toyota Echo sedan was the lone model. The Yaris was voted European Car of the Year for 2000.

Instead of conventional instruments, the Yaris and Echo hatchbacks utilized digital instruments which were mounted in the center of the dashboard. The Canadian Echo (and the Yaris T Sport) had a conventional speedometer but it was still mounted in the center of the dashboard.

The European Yaris was initially available with two gasoline-powered 4-cylinder 1.0 L and 1.3 L engines with Toyota's VVT-i technology, with the "warm hatch" 1.5 L T Sport following in 2001. After the 2003 facelift, a 1.4 L D4-D diesel engine offering 75 hp was also included in the lineup. This diesel engine is also licensed to BMW for use in their MINI One D model, but was later replaced by PSA's 1.6 L HDI engine, also seen in the Peugeot 407, Ford Focus and Volvo S40.

The European Yaris T-Sport (Vitz RS in Japan) version was introduced in 2001 and was powered by a 1.5 L engine, which also powered the Echo and the Vios, as well as the Scion xA. The 1.5 L T Sport was marketed as more fun to drive than the base models because of a sportier suspension and extra power compared to the 1.3 L model.

An interesting addition to the Yaris range came in 2000 with the Yaris Verso, a small MPV which used the same running gear as the conventional hatchback, but was designed to have an even more practical interior. In Japan, the model bore the name of Fun Cargo. The model was discontinued in 2004.

The running gear is shared with the Toyota bB and Ist, sold in the United States as the Scion xA and xB, and with the Japan-only Toyota Will Vi. The same CP platform is the base for the Japanese-only Probox and Succeed wagons.

The Echo sold in very high volumes in Canada, where smaller cars are much more popular than in the US. Sales were so high that Toyota introduced the 3 and 5-door hatchback models to the Canadian Toyota lineup for the 2004 model year. They are sold as the Echo hatchback and look almost identical to the European Yaris, but with a larger bumper to meet Canadian safety standards.

Second Generation (2006-2013)[]

Toyota released the second generation Vitz in Japan in 2004, while the Fun Cargo was replaced by the Ractis in October 2005.

The European, Australasian, Mexican and Canadian markets saw the second generation Yaris at the end of 2005. In the Australian and North American markets the car was sold as "Yaris" for the first time. The production North American 2007 Toyota Yaris was unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January 2006.

The 4-cylinder 1.0 VVT-i engine was replaced by the 3-cylinder engine which can also be found in the Toyota Aygo and Daihatsu Sirion. The 1.3 L was revised to offer slightly more power, and the 1.4 D-4D got a 15 hp boost to 90 hp. The Yaris became the first car in its sector to offer nine airbags.

The Canadian version of 2006 Toyota Yaris is available in 3 and 5 door models named Yaris Hatchback, running on 1.5 L 4 cylinder VVT-i engine rated 106 hp and 103 ft·lbf torque. 3-door CE and 5-door LE versions come with 14-inch wheels, while RS versions have 15-inch alloy wheels with stardard antilock brake and electronic brake force distribution (EBD).

The American version of 2007 Toyota Yaris is mostly the same as the Canadian version. The 3-door model is called the Yaris Liftback. The 5-door model is not sold in the United States, presumably to avoid internal competition with the xA and xB. CE, LE, RS packages in the Canadian hatchback cars are replaced by more modular convenience, power, all-weather guard packages. The Yaris Sedan is also available as the Yaris S, which has a standard convenience package. However, the power package on Yaris Sedan only offers alloy wheels as an option.

There is a completely removeable roof rack available from Toyota for the hatchback, but it's restricted to a maximum of 80 lbs and the instruction flyer recommends you do not leave it on the car full time. It's great for sporting gear, but not for Ikea trips.

2007 Hatchback: there are a multiplicity of compartments inside with two in front of the passenger, one in front of the driver (where the speedometer is in most cars), and another small to the left of that beside the steering wheel. In addition there are two pop-out deep cupholders that hold a Venti Starbucks without spilling, and a third stationary cupholder for rear passengers just behind the parking brake. The two front doors each have a water bottle holder that will accept commercial water bottles or either the white Nalgene (400ml) or their smallest Lexan bottle, but what's perfect is the tall Lexan OTG bottle (http://www.nalgene-outdoor.com/store/subcategory.asp?categorysubcategorycode=168).

If you like rain to bead on your car, get the commercial DiamondKote or equivalent, because the stock surface as delievered doesn't bead well. The hatchback version was discontinued in early 2014 for Asian markets.

Third generation (XP130, XP150; 2011–present)[]

Main articles: Toyota Vitz and Toyota Vios

The XP150 series Toyota Yaris is a subcompact car produced and sold by Toyota under the Yaris nameplate since 2013. Marketed exclusively for emerging markets, it is the hatchback counterpart of the XP150 series Vios subcompact sedan, which in some markets also shared the same Yaris nameplate. It is larger and longer than the unrelated XP130 series Yaris hatchback (Vitz in Japan) which was marketed in Japan, North America, Europe and Australasia, and the succeeding TNGA-based XP210 series Yaris.

It made its public debut at the 15th Auto Shanghai in April 2013, and was rolled out to several Asian markets including China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The vehicle was also marketed as the Yaris Sport in Chile since 2014, and in Mexico and Argentina from 2016.[15][16] In some markets such as Chile, Mexico and South Africa,[17] it replaced the XP130 series Yaris hatchback. In 2021, it was replaced by the Suzuki-sourced Starlet in South Africa.

Facelifts[]

2017 facelift[]

The XP150 series Yaris hatchback received its first facelift in Thailand on 14 September 2017. It comes with the same front fascia as the Yaris Ativ sedan, with the taillights inspired by the E180 series Auris. It is 30 mm (1.2 in) longer and wider than the pre-facelift model. Model grades are J ECO, J, E and G. The facelift model Yaris hatchback comes with standard ABS, 7 SRS airbags, vehicle stability control (VSC) and hill-start assist (HSA) for all trim levels. In November 2019, the Yaris hatchback and Ativ are fitted with the 92 PS (90.7 hp) 3NR-FKE engine. The trim levels are changed to Entry, Mid and High and also include Cross and Ativ GT Edition.[26] The Yaris received a second facelift for the Ativ and hatchback models in late August 2020 in Thailand, with added Toyota Safety Sense suite, Pre-Collision System (PCS) and Lane Departure Alert (LDA) along with redesigned front fascia with dual LED lenses for the range topping Sport and Sport Premium.

2020 facelift[]

The Yaris lineup received its second facelift in July 2020 in the Philippines and officially in Thailand in August 2020 with updated front bumper design, LED dual lenses with integrated Daytime running lamps headlamps for the top G/Sport grades and 15-inch rims redesign across the lineup in Thailand.

On December 17, 2020, UMW Toyota Motor officially launched the second facelift Yaris for the Malaysian market. The car was introduced via a digital presentation, alongside the 2021 facelift model Vios and the GR Yaris. As before, three variants are available for the Yaris, the base J, E and G. Exterior-wise, the refresh introduces an updated front bumper, which provides the car with a bolder and wider visual stance. The grille and the lower intake are fused into one, and the headlamps use triple bezel LED units, standard across the entire model range. Toyota Safety Sense is available on the E and G variant. The suite consists of a pre-collision system (PCS) with autonomous emergency braking and lane departure alert (LDA), which works from speeds of 50 km/h on to help avoid unintended lane changes. Also on are a blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert and a 3D 360-degree panoramic view monitor, on top of the usual VSC, hill-start assist control and seven airbags. Additionally, the E and G come fitted with a front digital video recorder.

  • Hatchback: versions derive from the Japanese-market Toyota Vitz (XP130), introduced in early 2011.
  • Sedan: versions derive from the Asian-market Toyota Vios (XP150), introduced in 2013.

Fourth generation (XP210, 2020; AC100, 2022)[]

Main article: Toyota Yaris (XP210)

The fourth-generation Yaris, available only as a hatchback, was unveiled simultaneously on 16 October 2019 in Japan and Amsterdam, Netherlands. Built on the GA-B platform, its development was led by chief engineer Yasunori Suezawa and chief hybrid engineer Takashi Uehara. It went on sale in Japan on 10 February 2020, while the petrol 4WD variant went on sale in April 2020.

A performance-oriented version developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing, called the GR Yaris, was first unveiled at the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon and production began in September 2020.

The North American market did not receive the fourth-generation Yaris. Additionally, the nameplate (which had been used for a restyled Mazda2) was eliminated entirely in 2020.

Mazda2-based models (DA/DB/DD; 2015)[]

In 2014, Mazda began production of the Mazda2 in Salamanca, Guanajuato, for various North and South American markets. At the 2015 New York International Auto Show in April of that year, it was announced that this plant would produce a version of the Mazda2 for Toyota with minor styling changes, with the vehicle to be sold in Mexico as the Yaris, in the United States as the Scion iA, and in Canada as the Yaris sedan. In July 2015, Toyota confirmed that the car would be sold in Mexico as the Yaris R.

After the phase-out of the Scion marque in the United States, the car was renamed as the Toyota Yaris iA from August 2016 for the 2017 model year. For the 2019 model year, it was renamed again as the Yaris sedan in the United States, receiving a minor facelift with an updated grille insert and trim changes. Unlike the previous models, which offered only exterior colors and a choice between 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions as factory options, both the United States and Canadian 2019 and 2020 Yaris sedans were offered in L, LE and XLE trim levels with a wider variety of interior and exterior options.

A Mazda-built Yaris hatchback—a rebadged Mazda2 with a front fascia similar to that of the Yaris sedan—made its debut at the 2019 New York International Auto Show in April of that year and replaced the XP130 Yaris Liftback in the United States and Canada for the 2020 model year. Its official images were revealed on 1 April 2019. The United States and Canadian Yaris hatchback was offered in LE and XLE trim levels. In the United States, sales of the hatchback began in October 2019.

Both Mazda2-based Yaris models were discontinued in the U.S. in June 2020 due to new regulations and slow sales. In July, Toyota confirmed that sales were also ending in Canada. The vehicles were also discontinued in Mexico in August, leaving only the Thai-imported XP150 series Yaris and Yaris Sedán as its indirect replacements.

Worldwide[]

  • Worldwide, especially in the SouthEast Asian region, the Yaris sedan is known as the 2nd generation Toyota Vios. The Yaris hatchback, however, is unchanged.

Awards[]

The Toyota Yaris has not been on the road long enough to accumulate accolades.
