The fun-to-drive Toyota Yaris line-up includes an enhanced GR SPORT grade and stylish new options for its 2025 model year while maintaining a commitment to class-leading efficiency and safety in the highly competitive B-segment.

An agile compact car ideally suited to modern urban life, with proven quality, exceptional efficiency and fun-to-drive dynamics, the multiple award-winning Yaris is consistently one of Toyota’s best-selling models in Europe. The Yaris family has accumulated more than 10 million global sales, including more than five million in Europe, since its launch in 1999.

Yaris has been a benchmark for innovation since its debut, whilst staying true to a “big-small” philosophy which combines a compact and purposeful exterior with spacious interior. From raising the bar on safety to pioneering full hybrid power in the B-segment and becoming the first compact car built on the modular Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) GA-B platform, Yaris has continually set new standards for a quarter of a century.

Toyota’s latest version of the fourth generation Yaris is built in Europe, for European customers, and now offers new choices with enhanced aesthetic options as well as an eye-catching update of the Yaris GR SPORT grade.

Three years after first hitting the streets, the new Yaris GR SPORT looks keener than ever thanks to new exterior and interior styling which capture the spirit of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, Toyota’s multiple championship winning motorsport team.

An emotive new colour, Storm Grey, is available exclusively on the Yaris GR SPORT in 2025, both in monotone and bi-tone options, while striking 18-inch matt alloy wheels impress with a bold new design.

Inside, the Yaris GR SPORT’s stylish interior execution – with stand-out red stitching and gun metal grey accents – is upgraded by an embossed GR SPORT logo on the headrests, achieving a clean and sophisticated look.

The 2025 Yaris line-up includes the all-new Forest Green colour, either as elegant monotone or striking bi-tone in combination with contrasting black roof, which compliments the muscular, agile lines and styling that is true to Yaris’ poised handling and responsive chassis.

The Yaris 2025 range continues to employ a “dual hybrid” approach to meet customers’ varying needs and ensure exceptional efficiency, via best-in-class environmental performance with the “Hybrid 115”, or the “Hybrid 130” with its sharper acceleration and even more engaging drive. By offering a choice of performance profile, Yaris has strong appeal to customers, who rank hybrid as the top purchase consideration.

Throughout the Yaris range, drivers benefit from the latest technologies for an outstanding user experience. Toyota T-Mate includes the latest generation Toyota Safety Sense driver assistance systems, making the car safer, easier to drive and park. Meanwhile, a digital user experience features a customisable driver’s instrument display and a powerful multimedia system with display screens of up to 10.5 inches.

Drivers can experience the new Toyota Yaris, including the Toyota Yaris GR SPORT, in 2025, with start of production planned for February next year.

 

The new range builds on Yaris’ previous achievements, strengthening its appeal in key areas and embracing new technologies to make it an even more compelling proposition. Performance, safety and styling have all been scrutinised to ensure the model remains a leading player in the highly competitive B-segment in Europe.

The key updates include an additional, more powerful new hybrid electric powertrain; significant new and enhanced safety and driver assistance features; and all-new driver’s instrumentation and multimedia system that exploit the potential of digital technology.

These are introduced without diminishing the qualities that have made Yaris enduring popular: a car with lasting quality that’s easy to live with, fun to drive and exceptionally efficient.

Built in Europe for European customers, the new Yaris reinforces the model’s award-winning reputation for innovation and excellence in small car design and engineering.

MORE POWER, FUN AND CHOICE WITH THE NEW “HYBRID 130”

The new Yaris offers customers the option of a new, more powerful full hybrid electric powertrain, the “Hybrid 130”. Joining the established “Hybrid 115” powertrain option in the line-up, the new “Hybrid 130” reaps the benefits of fifth generation Toyota hybrid technology to give sharper acceleration, allied to the car’s fundamentally nimble character.

It’s the kind of performance profile that’s increasingly a priority for B-segment customers, particularly those looking to downsize their choice of vehicle. And with a new “dual hybrid” product strategy, Toyota is widening Yaris’ appeal in a critical area: hybrid is the top purchase consideration for most buyers.

The 1.5-litre full hybrid electric system has a great track record since its launch, founded on leading fuel and emissions efficiency and its ability to go further and for longer in all-electric EV mode. These qualities are maintained and re-engineered for increased output.

The key change is the introduction of a new hybrid transaxle with a more powerful electric motor-generator (output up from 59 kW to 62 kW), together with adjustments to the software and hardware in the power control unit (PCU). The result is a 12% uplift in total system output, from 116 DIN hp/85 kW to 130 DIN hp/96 kW. It’s not just about headline power, there is more muscle, too, with maximum torque from the MG2 electric motor increased by 30%, from 141 Nm to 185 Nm, available across the entire rev range.

This translates to faster acceleration, half a second quicker to bring the 0-100 km/h benchmark down to 9.2 seconds. Similarly, there’s more rapid performance at overtaking speeds, with 80-120 km/h accomplished in 7.5 seconds.

Toyota’s long-standing experience of hybrid technology ensures that the CO₂ emissions remains best-in-class at 87-98 g/km while fuel consumption remains robust at 3.9-4.3 l/100 km (WLTP combined cycle data).

Fuel economy is further enhanced with features such as the Predictive State of Charge Control for downhill and congestion driving conditions by using a combination of data from the navigation system to ensure the battery charge level maximises EV driving to enhance fuel efficiency depending on route, traffic, and gradient.

The new “Hybrid 130” is available as standard in the new Yaris Premiere Edition and GR Sport models. In some European markets it is also available in the High grade.

A NEW DIGITAL USER EXPERIENCE

Toyota is also transforming the new Yaris’ user experience with digital technology, extending from driver information to on-board entertainment and connectivity and even access to the vehicle.

CUSTOMISABLE INSTRUMENT DISPLAYS

Depending on model grade, a 7- or 12.3-inch digital driver’s instrument display is fitted. Both have sharply defined full colour graphics that are easy to read in all lighting conditions.

The 12.3-inch version (High, Premiere Edition and GR SPORT grades) can be customised to suit the driver’s preference for information content and presentation style. There are 12 display pattern options, with left, centre, and right-side multi-information displays.

The central multi-information display is dedicated to the most frequently used information, such as advanced safety system status, settings, and driver alerts. The left and right displays cover details such as journey information, fuel consumption, audio, and navigation details. Widgets can also be added to the left and right displays to access more information, using the switches on the steering wheel. Up to three different lay-out combinations can be stored for use on different types of journeys.

Further customisation is provided with a choice of four display themes – Casual, Smart, Tough and Sporty – and one, two or no dials. The 7-inch display (Mid grade) offers nine patterns, three styles and a choice of three function displays – tachometer, hybrid system indicator and an analogue speedometer.

TOYOTA SMART CONNECT MULTIMEDIA

The new Yaris sees the introduction of the latest Toyota Smart Connect multimedia package, designed for easier, more intuitive operation with a fast-reacting interface. It includes access to a cloud-based navigation system that helps ensure time-efficient journey planning with up-to-the-minute information on routes, traffic events and delays.

The system is accessed via a 10.5-inch touchscreen, or by spoken commands. Voice recognition has moved to another level, with the “Hey Toyota” voice agent able to respond to requests using more natural, conversational forms of speech. For example, say “Hey Toyota, I’m cold” and the system will automatically raise the climate control temperature. The voice agent can listen to requests without having to lower or turn off audio playback.

SEAMLESS CONNECTIVITY AND UPDATES

Today’s customers want an easy, seamless smartphone connection when they use their car and in the new Yaris it could not be simpler with wireless integration for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems.

Toyota is also making life easier and simpler by delivering software updates for the multimedia functions and the advanced safety features over-the-air using the car’s data communications module. These can then be downloaded and installed when convenient for the owner, with no need for the car to be taken to service centre.

DIGITAL KEY TO SUCCESS

The Yaris’ digital makeover will include the new Smart Digital Key feature, provided as standard on the Premiere Edition and as an option for GR SPORT and Mid grade models.

Linked to Toyota’s MyT app, this allows up to five users to access the vehicle using their smartphone. It’s designed for complete convenience: you can lock, unlock, or start the vehicle without having to take your phone out of your bag or pocket.

It is compatible with both Apple and Android devices and one year’s connection is included in the car’s purchase price.

The MyT app also provides useful functions such as remote vehicle locking and unlocking, climate control operation to warm or cool the cabin ahead of a journey and hazard light activation to help spot the car in a crowded parking lot.

SAFER, EASIER DRIVING WITH ENHANCED TOYOTA T-MATE FEATURES

The current generation Toyota Yaris was designed from the outset with the aim of being a segment leader in terms of safety, equipped with a wealth of active and passive safety equipment.

The new Yaris goes even further, with additional and enhanced features that will strengthen its all-round safety leadership and help Toyota progress towards its ultimate goal of eliminating all road traffic accidents.

TOYOTA T-MATE AND TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE

Toyota T-Mate embraces all the advanced features that make the new Yaris safer and easier to drive and park, features that have been made more effective than ever with new and enhanced functions. These include the latest generation Toyota Safety Sense driver assistance systems.

The new Yaris is equipped with a new camera and radar which can scan further ahead and wider than before, significantly increasing the scope for accident risk detection. For example, this means the Pre-Collision System (PCS) can now additionally recognise a potential head-on impact and wider range of objects in the car’s path, including pedestrians, cyclists and, for the first time, motorcycles.

Acceleration Suppression is a new Toyota Safety Sense feature which will intervene to slow any sudden acceleration of the car when there is a risk of a collision with a vehicle ahead.

Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) is also new, designed to help avoid familiar accident hazards when driving at low speeds. It provides smooth deceleration when the driver comes off the throttle to slow down when coming up behind a slower vehicle, or when entering a bend. PDA also provides Steering Assist: when the car is approaching a bend, this will adjust steering force to help the driver make a smooth and stable turn.

The new Emergency Driving Stop System (EDSS) can support the driver should they be taken ill or be incapacitated. Active when Lane Trace Assist is engaged, this detects if the driver has made no steering, braking or acceleration inputs for a certain amount of time. Initially the driver will receive audio and visual warnings, and if there is still no response from the driver it will bring the car to a gentle stop, activate the hazard lights and unlock the doors.

Safe Exit Assist (SEA), available as an option, provides visual and audio warnings to help prevent a car door being opened inadvertently into the path of vehicles and cyclists approaching the rear. The Rear Seat Reminder System (RSRS) is another innovation that reminds the driver with warnings and audio alerts if they have left a child or pet on the back seat, helping avoid the risk of “hot car” incidents.

As well as these additional functions, the new Yaris benefits from upgrades to established Toyota Safety Sense features. The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) has been revised for quicker response and to operate with a more natural and reassuring feel. For example, when another vehicle moves into the Yaris’ traffic lane, deceleration is more gradual. The driver can also select a longer vehicle-to-vehicle gap setting and the system’s curve speed reduction function activates earlier, giving smoother speed control.

New systems have been added to the ACC, designed to make overtaking safer. Overtaking Prevention Support prevents unintentional passing on the wrong side of a vehicle (“undertaking”) and Preliminary Deceleration/Turn Signal-Linked Control helps the driver safely re-join the traffic lane after overtaking, at an appropriate speed and distance from other vehicles.

The Lane Departure Alert has been revised so that it will recognise when the driver has steered out of a lane when trying to avoid an obstacle (pedestrian or other road users) and temporarily cancel the Lane Departure Warning.

The Lane Trace Assist’s (LTA) lane-centring function has been recalibrated to work with a more natural feeling and now just a one-touch adjustment of the speed limiter is all that’s needed to match traffic sign information relayed by the Road Sign Assist.

PREMIERE EDITION LEADS REFRESHED MODEL LINE-UP

The Yaris line-up has new top-of-the-range model in the form of the Premiere Edition, a version which goes to the maximum in terms of equipment specification and is powered exclusively by the new “Hybrid 130” powertrain.

It stands out on the street with a bi-tone paint finish that combines an exclusive new Neptune Blue with contrasting gloss black roof and pillars and newly designed 17-inch black machined alloys. Blue is the highlight colour in the cabin as well, featured in the seat upholstery stitching and deco lines that highlight the instrument and door panels.

There is also the choice of Platinum Pearl or Silver Metallic bi-tone paintwork for the Premiere Edition, as well as a new Juniper Blue for other model grades.

Elsewhere in the range there is a new five-spoke alloy wheel design – silver for Mid grade and with a machined finish for the Mid+ model. The cabin also has a freshened look with a new seat upholstery pattern.

GR SPORT HAS THE EDGE

For customers looking for sportier styling, the GR SPORT grade delivers styling flourishes that capture the spirit of Toyota’s highly successful, multiple World Championship-winning motorsport outfit, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing.

The GR SPORT feature exclusive 18-inch machined allaoys with highlighting red deco lines, front sport seats with red upholstery and trim stitching, sports pedals, perforated leather steering wheel trim and GR badging on the seats, starter button and steering wheel.

The Dynamic Grey exterior colour is also exclusive to the grade with GR SPORT badges on the front and rear of the car, as well as G-shaped front grille motif for a standout look.

EXTERIOR MUSCLE, INTERIOR SPACIOUSNESS

The Yaris retains the muscular, agile lines that set it apart from its segment rivals, with a sporty profile that projects energy and dynamism. The styling is true to its agile, poised handling and responsive chassis, underpinned by the quality of its GA-B platform as part of the Toyota New Global Architecture. While height and length are compact, the car has a comparatively long wheelbase and wide front and tracks. This makes for a roomy cabin and a solid road stance. The proportions are ideal for urban streets and tight parking spaces, with short overhangs and a compact 5.2 m turning circle (models with 16-inch wheels).

The interior exudes quality and a spacious feel, designed with a “less is more” approach. The focus is on sensory appeal with harmonious lines and soft-to-the-touch elements such as a padded dashboard and felt door panel inserts. The layout is distinguished by a low-set hood for the driver’s instrument binnacle, a wide centre console and a sporty small-diameter steering wheel.

YARIS: A HISTORY OF HIGH ACHIEVEMENT

The Yaris is one of the most successful models in Toyota’s history with its worldwide sales surpassing the 10 million mark in 2023. This achievement shows this small car has delivered on its original promise of bringing “big-small” thinking to the B-segment as a car that’s compact and purposeful-looking yet delivering a spacious interior.

The first-generation model was an instant success, claiming the Car of the Year titles in both Europe and Japan at the turn of the millennium. Successive models have consistently set benchmarks for performance and technology. This notably includes the third generation Yaris being the first car in its class to be offered with full hybrid electric power.

Constant improvement and a deep understanding of changing customer preferences and priorities have kept the Yaris at the top if its game. Its consistently strong appeal and class-leading qualities saw the current, fourth generation model awarded the Car of the Year award in 2021, a second for the Yaris. The jury praised Yaris’ hybrid technology for its smooth driving, low emissions, and accessible price point – illustrating why more than 80% of Yaris buyers choose the hybrid powertrain. The Yaris was also recognised for its design, dynamic performance, and class-leading safety.

The Yaris was the model of choice when Toyota returned to the World Rally Championship in 2017 under the brand’s motorsport arm, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, with immediate successes culminating in four Manufacturers’ Championships (three in a row) and five Drivers’ Championships (four in a row).

Inspired by the successful Yaris World Rally Car, Toyota introduced the first pure performance GAZOO Racing sports car in 2020, the GR Yaris. The sports car maintained the nameplate’s role as a pathfinder for innovative technologies and received unprecedented acclaim by media and car lovers, becoming an instant modern classic.

In 2021, the Yaris family expanded with the introduction of the Yaris Cross, bringing together Toyota’s rich experience and know-how in small cars with its heritage of innovative SUV design and engineering to create an all-new model, perfectly suited to daily use but offering adventure and a fun-to-drive spirit. Shortly after launch, the Yaris Cross cemented its pedigree in the multiple award-winning Yaris family when it was named the 2022 World Urban Car by organisers of the World Car Awards.

As the new Yaris makes its debut, the sales performance of the Yaris remains strong in Europe as a perennial top-seller, reaching some 170,000 units in 2023.

The new Yaris hatchback range is now available in Europe.

Updated on February 16, 2024: This press kit was updated to reflect the variance in start of availability time of the Smart Digital Key feature in different markets in Europe.

As well as strengthening the power and performance of the hybrid electric powertrain to give European customers more choice and increasing the scope of the advanced active safety and driver assistance systems, Toyota is introducing a completely new digital dimension to the car. The comprehensive package includes a customisable driver’s instrument display, a more powerful and intuitive multimedia system, convenient and stable connectivity and, for the first time, a hands-free digital key to access and start the car.

Built in Europe for European customers, the new Yaris will reinforce the model’s long-established reputation for innovation and excellence in small car design and engineering.

MORE POWER AND MORE REWARDING DRIVE

The latest updates made to the Yaris’ full hybrid electric powertrain are central to the model’s enhanced appeal, delivering both higher performance and a more engaging and fun to drive experience. These qualities are increasingly important to prospective B-segment customers, especially those seeking to downsize their choice of car. With the New Yaris, customers can now choose from two hybrid powertrains to suit their needs while still benefitting from the Yaris’ class-leading environmental performance.

When the 1.5-litre system made its debut, it was praised by media and motorists alike for its exceptional fuel and emissions efficiency and how it enabled the car to be driven for longer and further in all-electric EV mode. By deploying the transaxle from the latest, fifth generation of Toyota’s market-leading hybrid electric technology, it now offers more power, more torque and more rewarding driveability.

A new transaxle with a larger and more powerful electric motor-generator and revisions to the power control unit’s (PCU) software and hardware raised total system output by 12%, from 116 DIN hp/85 kW to 130 DIN hp/96 kW. There’s a significant hike in torque, too, with the maximum torque of the electrical MG2 motor increased by 30% across the total rev band, from 141 Nm to 185 Nm.

This translates into a noticeably faster acceleration, not just for the 0-100 km/h sprint, but more importantly for nimbler progress at overtaking speeds. Half a second has been taken off the 0-100 km/h time (9.2 seconds), and there’s also a reduction when moving from 80 to 120 km/h (7.5 seconds). These gains have been secured with only a modest upshift in CO₂ emissions; the Yaris retains its best-in-class status in this regard, with 96-116 g/km.

Of course, adding power is just part of the story. It’s how the driver experiences the car’s performance that makes the real difference. With the increase in torque delivered at all engine speeds, the result is a stronger, more responsive and more dynamic feel.

The hybrid electric powertrain is the number one deciding factor for people choosing to buy Yaris. By adding increased performance to the mix, its appeal will be even greater – smooth and nimble around town and poised and confident on the open road.

With the new “dual hybrid” powertrain product offering in the New Yaris line-up, customers can choose between the well-established Yaris hybrid powertrain with best-in-class environmental performance with the “Hybrid 115” or the new hybrid powertrain delivering higher performance while maintaining its environmental leadership in the segment with the “Hybrid 130” (“130” in reference to the power increased to 130 DIN hp/96 kW).

All Yaris Premiere Edition and GR SPORT grades will be equipped with the “Hybrid 130” as standard, while some markets in Europe will offer the higher performance powertrain in High grade¹.

TOYOTA T-MATE MAKING DRIVING SAFER AND EASIER

With its wealth of active and passive safety equipment and vehicle design, the current generation Yaris was always developed to be the safest small car in the world. Toyota is introducing additional and enhanced safety features to further enhance the Yaris’ safety leadership with the new Yaris.

Toyota T-Mate is the umbrella term for the advanced features that make a car safer, easier to drive and park. In the new Yaris, these features are more effective than ever, with additional and enhanced functions. These include the latest generation Toyota Safety Sense driver assistance systems.

In its mission ultimately to eliminate road traffic accidents, Toyota provides advanced technology features as standard with the Yaris – features that are often extra-cost options or simply not available on other B-segment models.

Thanks to its new multimedia system and data communications module (DCM), Toyota provides the flexibility and convenience of software updates delivered over-the-air. This means the Toyota Safety Sense and multimedia functions can be seamlessly upgraded, with no need for the car to be taken to a service centre. Downloads can take place while the car is being driven, ready for installation when it’s convenient for the driver.

Using a new camera and radar which can scan further and wider than before allows for a significant increase in the scope of accident risk detection. For example, the Pre-Collision System (PCS) can now recognise a potential head-on impact and a wider range of objects and vehicles in the car’s path, including pedestrians, cyclists and now also motorcycles.

Acceleration Suppression is a new addition to the Toyota Safety Sense portfolio. This intervenes to slow any sudden acceleration when it recognises the risk of a collision with a vehicle ahead.

Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) is another new feature, designed to help avoid familiar accident hazards when driving at low speed. Deceleration Assist provides smooth deceleration when the driver comes off the accelerator to slow down when approaching a slower vehicle ahead, or entering a bend. The second element is Steering Assist, which recognises a bend in the road ahead and adjusts steering force to help the driver make a smooth and stable turn.

The new Emergency Driving Stop System (EDSS) is able to support the driver, should they be taken ill or incapacitated when Lane Trace Assist (LTA) is activated. If the system detects the driver has made no inputs – steering, braking, accelerating – for a certain amount of time, it will sound a warning. If there is no reaction from the driver, it will bring the car to a gentle stop, activate the hazard lights and unlock the doors.

Toyota T-Mate also provides protection when the car is stationary. With the optional Safe Exit Assist (SEA), a visual and audio warning system helps to prevent the door being opened inadvertently into the path of vehicles and cyclists approaching from the rear. And the Rear Seat Reminder System (RSRS) will alert the driver via visual and acoustic notifications if they have left a child or pet on the back seat, helping avoid the risk of “hot car” incidents.

As well as these extra functions, new Yaris also benefits from upgrades to its established Toyota Safety Sense features. The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) has been revised to respond more quickly and operate with a more natural feel. For example, when another vehicle moves into the Yaris’ lane, deceleration is more gradual. The driver can also select a longer vehicle-to-vehicle distance setting for a more comfortable gap and the system’s curve speed reduction is activated earlier, giving smoother speed control.

New systems have been added to the Adaptive Cruise Control for safer overtaking: Overtake Prevention Support prevents unintentional overtaking on the wrong side of a vehicle (“undertaking”); and Preliminary Deceleration/Turn Signal Linked Control helps the driver safely re-join the traffic lane at an appropriate speed and distance from other vehicles.

The Lane Departure Alert (LDA) now recognises when the driver has moved out of lane while trying to avoid an obstacle (pedestrian or other road users) and temporarily cancels the Lane Departure Warning. The lane-centring function of the Lane Trace Assist (LTA) has also been changed so that the car will deliver a more natural-feeling. The Road Sign Assist has been enhanced so just a one-touch adjustment of the speed limiter is required to match traffic sign information.

ALL DATA OF THE NEW YARIS IS SUBJECT TO HOMOLOGATION. FINAL SPECIFICATIONS WILL BE CONFIRMED AT FULL PRODUCT LAUNCH.

A NEW DIGITAL USER EXPERIENCE

Toyota has also targeted a best-in-class proposition with completely new digital user experience for the new Yaris. This takes in both a customisable driver’s instrument display and a faster and more powerful multimedia system with added functionality. The displays – seven or 12.3-inch for the combimeter, nine or 10.5-inch for the multimedia screen, according to model grade – are class-leading in terms of size.

The 12.3-inch digital combimeter presents dials, information and graphics in sharp definition for good visibility in all light levels. Their appearance is customisable to suit the driver’s mood and the type of journey with up to four options: Smart, Casual, Sporty and Tough.

The seven-inch version is standard on Mid+, while the 12.3-inch is featured on High, GR SPORT and Premiere Edition grades.

The new-to-Yaris Toyota Smart Connect multimedia system has a more intuitive and reactive interface and provides cloud-based navigation as standard. This “always connected” system ensures journey planning benefits from up-to-the-moment information on routes, traffic and delays.

The system takes spoken commands to another level with a voice recognition system and “Hey Toyota” voice agent that respond to more natural forms of speech. For example, simply state “Hey Toyota, I’m cold” and the system will automatically raise the climate control temperature.

Ease of connectivity is a customer priority and new Yaris enables wireless smartphone integration using both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. And, as with the Toyota Safety Sense systems, upgrades and new functions for the multimedia system can be applied over-the-air without additional trips to the service centre.

EASY ACCESS WITH SMART DIGITAL KEY

The digital transformation of new Yaris includes the first availability of a smart digital key. Linked to the MyT app, this gives up to five users access to the vehicle using their smartphone. It’s designed for complete convenience, so users can lock, unlock or start their vehicle without having to take their phone out of their bag or pocket.

This new feature further expands the MyT functions, which include remote locking/unlocking, climate control operation and activation of the hazard lights for easy vehicle identification in a crowded parking.

The digital key is compatible with both Apple and Android devices and a one-year connection is included in the car’s purchase price as standard on Premiere Edition and as an option on GR SPORT and Mid grades.

REFRESHED STYLING AND YARIS PREMIERE EDITION

At launch, the new Yaris range will include a special Premiere Edition version, a halo model that showcases the model’s full range of new features. This will be offered with a new dedicated Neptune Blue bi-tone paintwork with a contrast black roof and pillars. The blue theme is repeated in contrast seat upholstery stitching and deco lines on the instrument and door panels, plus newly designed 17-inch black machined alloy wheels. The Premiere Edition will also be available in bi-tone Platinum Pearl White or Silver Metallic paintwork.

The Mid and Mid+ Yaris models also sport new five-spoke alloy wheel designs, in silver or machined finishes respectively. Interior seat upholstery has also been refreshed with a new pattern. A new Juniper Blue paint option will be available across the Yaris range.

In other respects, new Yaris retains the muscular, “condensed agile” lines that distinguish it from other B-segment models and give it the sense of being full of energy and dynamism and always ready-to-go. Its sporty profile is made possible thanks to its GA-B platform: overall height and length are compact, but the wheelbase and front and rear tracks are generous, giving a planted look and helping secure good cabin space. The short overhangs add to the Yaris’ nimble character in urban driving, giving the car a suitably tight 5.2 m turning radius (with 16-inch wheels) – ideal for city streets and tight parking spaces.

The interior follows a “less is more” concept. It’s a sharply designed space that has
the high sensory quality and spacious feel of a car from a class above. Details include soft-touch padding across the dashboard; soft felt inserts in the door panels; a wide front console; a low-set hood for the driver’s instrument binnacle; and a small-diameter, sporty steering wheel.

YARIS: A HISTORY OF HIGH ACHIEVEMENT

The Yaris is one of the most successful models in Toyota’s history, its worldwide sales having passed through the 10 million mark in 2023. That achievement shows how this small car has delivered on its original promise of bringing “big-small” thinking to the market for B-segment models for a compact and purposeful looking car but spacious on the inside.

With the first-generation hatchback having scooped both Car of the Year titles at the turn of the Millennium in Europe and Japan, the Yaris has consistently set benchmarks for performance and technology, not least in becoming the first car in its class to be offered with hybrid electric power in the third generation. Constant improvement and a deep understanding of the changing customer preferences and priorities has seen the Yaris remain at the top of its game. Its consistently strong appeal and class-leading qualities saw the current, fourth generation model honoured with another Car of the Year award in 2021.

The Yaris’ evolution has seen the range grow from its core hatchback to include today’s Yaris Cross compact SUV and the high-performance GR Yaris, a car developed directly with the skills and experience gained from Toyota GAZOO Racing’s multiple title-winning success in the World Rally Championship.

The new Yaris will be available for online reservations in some European markets starting in June 2023¹.

Note: All performance data of the New Yaris is subject to homologation. Final specifications will be confirmed at the full product launch.
