2015 Toyota Yaris Unveiled in US Spec

Toyota’s compact little car may have lost some of its appeal in recent years, but it’s hard to argue about the Yaris’ reliability and fuel economy for short urban trips. For 2015, the happy little hatchback gets a new nose without changing its internals, following in the footsteps of its big sister, the Corolla.

The same 1.5 litre engine is back under the hood, still producing a face-melting 106 HP. It it still paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, or a very dated automatic with four speeds.

A real paragon of simplicity, the Yaris is still offered in 3 trim levels, and it is not possible to order any options. The model ranges from the 3-door L model, starting at $14,845 US to the top of the line 5-doors SE with the automatic transmission, which goes for $17,620 US.

The most significant changes are on the outside, with an updated front and rear bumper closely matching the most recent cars from the brand.

And for the first, time, the Yaris will be available with GPS. This modification will be installed by your dealership.
