The {{nihongo|Toyota Vitz|トヨタ・ヴィッツ|Toyota Vittsu|lead=yes}} is a subcompact car produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota from 1999 to 2019 in a three- or five-door hatchback body styles. The "Vitz" nameplate was used consistently in Japan, while most international markets received the same vehicle as the Toyota Yaris, or as the Toyota Echo in some markets for the first generation. The Vitz was available in Japan from Toyota's Netz Store dealerships. Toyota began production in Japan and later assembled the vehicle in other Asian countries and in France.

By 2010, the first two generations had achieved in excess of 3.5 million sales in over 70 countries, including more than 1.4 million in Japan.{{cite web |last=Pettendy |first=Marton |date=2010-12-23 |url=http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/41359FDA976F232CCA257801004CAE4D |title=First look: Toyota yields new Yaris |work=GoAuto |access-date=2010-12-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110620185623/http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/41359FDA976F232CCA257801004CAE4D |archive-date=2011-06-20 }}

In 2019, the "Vitz" nameplate was no longer used in Japan due to faltering sales and the unification of Toyota sales network in Japan,{{cite news |title=Toyota Unveils Remodeled Yaris Subcompact |url=https://www.nippon.com/en/news/yjj2019101600911/toyota-unveils-remodeled-yaris-subcompact.html |access-date=16 October 2019 |work=nippon.com |date=16 October 2019 |language=en}}{{Cite web|date=2019-11-21|title=どうしてヴィッツではなくヤリスなの? トヨタの新コンパクトカーの車名変更の理由とは【試乗】|trans-title=Why is Yaris instead of Vitz?

The first generation XP10 series Vitz was designed by Sotiris Kovos{{cite web |url=http://www.pressroom.com.au/press_kit_detail.asp?clientID=2&navSectionID=6&categoryID=1000&kitID=5 |title=Press Kits: 1999 Echo |publisher=Toyota Australia |date=1999-09-28 |access-date=2010-12-26}} at Toyota's ED2 studio in Europe.{{cite web|url=http://www.autodeadline.com/detail?source=Toyota&mid=TOY2001111429066&mime=ASC |title=Toyota Opens Design Center in Côte d'Azur |work=AutoDeadline |date=2000-05-09 |access-date=2011-01-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110707191236/http://www.autodeadline.com/detail?source=Toyota&mid=TOY2001111429066&mime=ASC |archive-date=2011-07-07 }} It was first unveiled at the 1998 Paris Motor Show. Production began in late 1998,{{cite web |url=http://gazoo.com/NewCar/VehicleInfo/ImpressionDetail.aspx?impressionId=bf667601-cc3c-442b-9833-9c33ad102079 |title=日産マーチ vs ホンダ・フィット vs トヨタ・ヴィッツ |trans-title=Honda Fit vs Nissan March vs Toyota Vitz |language=ja |work=Gazoo |publisher=Nikkei Digital Media |date=2002-03-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120616165453/http://gazoo.com/NewCar/VehicleInfo/ImpressionDetail.aspx?impressionId=bf667601-cc3c-442b-9833-9c33ad102079 |archive-date=2012-06-16}} with a Japanese on-sale date of January 1999; European sales commenced two months later as the "Toyota Yaris". When introduced to Australasia in October 1999, the "Toyota Echo" name was used,{{cite web |url=http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/carfamilytree?ReadForm&ID=5748CEA0412FAA29CA257125001A1660 |title=Toyota Echo (NCP10R /NCP12R Echo) |work=GoAuto |access-date=2010-12-24}} as was the case in Canada when released there in 2003 for the 2004 model year.{{cite web |last=Louka |first=Haney |date=2003-10-07 |url=http://www.autos.ca/car-test-drives/test-drive-2004-toyota-echo-hatchback/ |title=Test Drive: 2004 Toyota Echo Hatchback |website=Autos.ca |access-date=2016-02-01}} The "Echo" and "Yaris" names were also given to the export version of the related Japanese market Toyota Platz sedan, also available as a coupé in North America.{{cite web |url=http://www.motordays.com/newcar/articles/platz19991001/ | script-title = ja:新車試乗記 第93回 トヨタ プラッツ |trans-title=New car test drive: Toyota Platz |language=ja |publisher=Motor Days |date=1999-10-01 |access-date=2010-12-26}} Often sold alongside the hatchback and marketed as a single line of vehicles, exterior panels common between the Vitz and Platz were restricted to the front doors. However, as Vitz and Platz were designed using the same platform, the mechanicals are largely identical and both share a common dashboard module. There was also a "Yaris Verso" or "Echo Verso" variant sold in some export markets from late 1999, based on the Japanese "Toyota Fun Cargo". The Verso MPV utilizes the same running gear as the Vitz, but features a more spacious interior.

At its introduction in 1999, it won the Car of the Year Japan Award.

What became the XP10 series was shown earlier in concept form at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show. This concept, titled "Funtime" was developed under the leadership of Shuhei Toyoda, who also commissioned two additional models based on the same platform: the "Funcoupe" and the "Funcargo", the predecessor to the forthcoming production model Fun Cargo. Styled in Brussels by Toyota's European Office of Creation (EPOC), the "Fun project" as it was known, was envisaged to underline the versatility of shared platform engineering. These concept vehicles morphed into the New Basic Car (NBC) program, with each separate NBC model designated a number, NBC1 in the case of the Vitz three-door. The name Vitz is the phonetic Anglicized spelling of the German word Witz which means "wit" (however, its principal meaning in contemporary German is "joke"). Toyota claims the contrived name Yaris is "intended to convey a European impression", while Echo "is intended to Echo nothing."

Instead of conventional analogue instruments, the Vitz utilized digital instruments which were mounted in a "pod" in the center of the dashboard. When sales commenced in the Canadian market this was not the case, with Toyota opting to fit a conventional speedometer, still mounted in the center of the dashboard.

In 2003, the facelifted 'Phase 2' Vitz was released with different bumpers and 'teardrop' front lights.

The Japanese launch of the Vitz occurred on 13 January 1999, and along with the related Platz, was retailed through the Netz Stores.

The Vitz "RS" was introduced in October 2000. The "RS" featured revised front and rear bumpers, a mesh grille, black-tinted headlamps, front fog lamps, side skirts and alloy wheels.{{cite web |url=http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/FD9D68C98BB62DF7CA256AA40008DF55 |title=2001 Toyota Echo Sportivo 5-dr hatch – The Car |work=GoAuto |access-date=2010-12-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101125155823/http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/FD9D68C98BB62DF7CA256AA40008DF55 |archive-date=2010-11-25 }} Interior upgrades include, sports-oriented front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a leather and chrome gear shifter, and metallic door sill scuff plates.{{cite web|last=Sharma |first=Gautam |date=2001-03-15 |url=http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/3260745DEF56F287CA256A10000077D1 |title=Echo rings louder |work=GoAuto |access-date=2010-12-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091005075812/http://goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/3260745DEF56F287CA256A10000077D1 |archive-date=2009-10-05 }} Two engines were available in the "RS", the 1.3-litre {{convert|84|hp|abbr=on}} 2NZ-FE and the 1.5-litre {{convert|110|hp|abbr=on}} 1NZ-FE. More powerful brakes and a firmer suspension calibration were also fitted to the "RS".

The Phase 2 Vitz RS was also available in a turbocharged version modified by Toyota Racing Development (TRD) mainly for the domestic Japanese market, and outfitted with an IHI Rhf4 turbocharger with {{convert|0.5|bar|psi}} boost. Produced in limited numbers, the TRD-tuned "RS" sported the 1.5-litre engine, and produced {{convert|148|hp|abbr=on}} and offered a {{convert|0|-|100|km/h|mph}} time of 7.9 seconds.

The Yaris was also sold in China as the Xiali Vizi from December 2002 to 2012, equipped with a 1.0 and 1.3-litre engine.

The XP10 series was introduced to Australia on 8 October 1999 as the "Echo", replacing the Starlet. Both the three- and five-door hatchback variants were available, which sold alongside the four-door Toyota Platz-derived Echo sedan.{{cite web|last=Smith |first=Graham |date=2010-06-24 |url=http://www.carsguide.com.au/site/news-and-reviews/buyers-guide/toyota_echo_1999-2005_buyers_guide |title=Toyota Echo 1999–2005: buyers guide |work=Herald Sun |access-date=2010-12-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110327232738/http://www.carsguide.com.au/site/news-and-reviews/buyers-guide/toyota_echo_1999-2005_buyers_guide |archive-date=2011-03-27 }}{{cite web |url=http://www.autoweb.com.au/A_53504/cms/newsarticle.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120310000439/http://www.autoweb.com.au/A_53504/cms/newsarticle.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-03-10 |title=Toyota Small Car Family A Worldwide Hit |work=AutoWeb |publisher=Web Publications |date=2001-02-01 |access-date=2010-12-24 }} Sourced from Japan, Australian-market Echo hatchbacks received the 1.3-litre 2NZ-FE engine with a standard five-speed manual transmission and optional four-speed automatic. The base model was fitted with a driver's airbag and cassette player, although the optional safety pack added a passenger airbag and anti-lock brakes (ABS). Power steering was made standard equipment in October 2002. The Echo "Sportivo" was introduced in March 2001, fitted with the 1.5-litre 1NZ-FE engine with manual transmission only. Compared to the models equivalent to the Echo "Sportivo" in other markets (the Vitz "RS" in Japan, and Yaris "T-Sport" in Europe), the Australian variant is distinguishable with its locally developed T-CAM (Toyota Conversions, Accessories and Motorsport) body kit and downgraded 14-inch alloy wheels.{{cite web |url=http://www.autoweb.com.au/cms/A_55476/title_Breakthrough-Bullbar-For-Toyotas-New-Prado/newsarticle.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111122030227/http://www.autoweb.com.au/cms/A_55476/title_Breakthrough-Bullbar-For-Toyotas-New-Prado/newsarticle.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-11-22 |title=Breakthrough Bullbar For Toyota's New Prado |work=AutoWeb |publisher=Web Publications |date=2003-04-01 |access-date=2010-12-24 }}

Sales of the facelifted hatchback range commenced in March 2003. At the same time, the price dropped and standard equipment was increased, with air conditioning, a CD player, and remote keyless entry included, although the safety pack was deleted as an option all together.{{cite web|url=http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/carfamilytree?ReadForm&ID=BE8292AE26393766CA257125001A1664 |title=Toyota Echo (NCP10R Echo Hatch Series II) |work=GoAuto |access-date=2010-12-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091005080229/http://goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/carfamilytree?ReadForm&ID=BE8292AE26393766CA257125001A1664 |archive-date=2009-10-05 }} Consequently, ANCAP tested the Echo in July 2004 and demoted it from a four- to a three-star safety rating.

== Europe ==

The Vitz, marketed as the "Yaris" in Europe, was initially available with gasoline-powered inline-four engines in displacements of 1.0 and 1.3-litres, both featuring Toyota's VVT-i technology. The use of sophisticated engine management systems was said to give the equivalent of 1.4-litre performance from the {{convert|70|hp|abbr=on}} 1.0-litre engine, while maintaining low fuel consumption and emissions. In 2001, the range was expanded via the addition of the hot hatch "T Sport" (equivalent to the Vitz "RS" in Japan), fitted with the 1.5-litre engine. After March 2002, a 1.4-litre D4-D diesel engine offering {{convert|75|hp|kW|abbr=on}} was also included in the lineup.

In most European markets, the Yaris was a stronger seller than the Starlet that it replaced. The XP10 was voted European Car of the Year in 2000, and also the 2000 Semperit Irish Car of the Year.

From 31 January 2001, the Yaris was produced in the Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (TMMF), in Onnaing, to supplement Japanese-made units.

European-market Yaris was also exported to Israel as well as in Morocco.

During the arrival of its successor, the first-generation Yaris had sold over 1.2 million units in Europe.{{Cite web |last=Clifford |first=Joe |date=2022-12-06 |title=Toyota Yaris history: our super supermini - Official Toyota UK Magazine |url=https://mag.toyota.co.uk/toyota-yaris-history/ |access-date=2023-07-10 |website=Toyota UK Magazine |language=en-GB}}

The Vitz hatchback was not sold in North America until 2003, when it launched only in Canada under the "Echo" name for the 2004 model year. Prior to this, only the Platz-based Echo sedan and coupé were available in Canada. The hatchback (three and five doors) was introduced in Canada only due to the higher sales achieved by the sedan and coupé compared to the United States, where they have failed due to low demand. Minor changes were made to meet Canadian safety requirements such as larger bumpers. The Echo hatchback was offered in four different trims in Canada, the LE being the standard version available in three or five door variants. The CE was an economy version only available with three doors and did not feature power steering, a rear wiper or a four-way speaker system, while the RS was only available with five doors and featured an aero package, aluminium alloy wheels, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob along with sport seats.{{cite press release|url=http://www.toyota.ca/v3/media/pdf/04echohatchback_e.pdf/ |title=2004 Echo Hatchback |publisher=Toyota |location=Canada }}{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

Although an RS version was offered, it consisted of cosmetic changes only. All Canadian-bound Echo hatches were sold with the 1.5-litre 1NZ-FE engine and rated at {{convert|108|hp|abbr=on}}.

In 2004, for the 2005 model year, a tachometer was added.{{cite press release|url=http://www.toyota.ca/v3/media/pdf/05echohatchback_e.pdf/ |title=05 Echo Hatchback |publisher=Toyota |location=Canada }}{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

{{about|the XP90 series Yaris hatchback|its sedan counterpart|Toyota Belta|section=yes}}

Toyota redesigned the Vitz in early 2005, going on sale in Japan that February. The Yaris family (Vitz and including the Belta) was developed under the lead of chief engineer Kousuke Shibahara. While the previous generation Vitz hatchback and Platz sedan look and feel virtually alike, the redesigned XP90 Vitz and Belta are more subtly related in terms of appearance. The two cars share underpinnings, notably the frame and the drivetrain components, however the sheet metal and interior is different. While the Vitz was designed at Toyota's European ED2 design studios, the Belta was designed at their Japanese design studios.

The Vitz platform was larger in all metrics, to create a larger interior space on par with vehicles in the segment above. It had a short overhangs and cab-forward design. The Vitz has nine airbags for some models.

The European, Australian, Canadian, Mexican, Venezuelan and Puerto Rican markets received the second-generation Vitz near the end of 2005. In the Australia and North America, the car was sold under the Yaris nameplate for the first time; the Belta is also sold there but with the nameplate Yaris sedan. The production Yaris for the US market was unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January 2006. The XP90 series Yaris was built in Japan, France, Thailand, China and Taiwan.{{Cite news|date=2005-09-07|title=Toyota va embaucher 1 000 personnes près de Valenciennes pour sa nouvelle Yaris|language=fr|work=Le Monde.fr|url=https://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2005/09/07/toyota-va-embaucher-1-000-personnes-pour-produire-sa-nouvelle-yaris_686672_3234.html|access-date=2021-05-25}}

The previous 4-cylinder 1.0 VVT-i engine was replaced by the 3-cylinder engine also found in the Toyota Aygo. The 1.3-litre engine was revised to offer slightly more power, and the 1.4 D-4D got a {{convert|15|PS|kW hp|abbr=on}} boost to {{convert|90|PS|kW hp|abbr=on}}, the former engine allowing it to achieve exceptional fuel economy.

The "Rush" model was a base 1.3 YR with front fog lights and alloy wheels from the YRX. All Australian delivered models have ventilated front discs and rear drums. Across the model lineup, a seven airbag package is available as part of the Enhanced Safety Pack option.

== North America ==

The second generation US Yaris is the successor to the previous North American Toyota Echo. In the US, the 3-door Vitz shares the Yaris name with the Toyota Belta sedan. The 3-door model is called the 'Yaris Liftback', while the 5-door model would be sold starting with the 2009 model year{{cite web |url=http://cars.about.com/od/toyota/gr/09_yaris_5dr.htm |title=2009 Toyota Yaris 5-door – Test drive and new car review – 2009 Toyota Yaris 5-door liftback |work=About.com Cars |first=Aaron |last=Gold |access-date=2012-10-06 |archive-date=17 December 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121217041957/http://cars.about.com/od/toyota/gr/09_yaris_5dr.htm |url-status=dead }} and competes with the similarly equipped Scion xD. The 2008 model year US Yaris comes standard with the 1.5-litre VVT-i engine producing {{convert|106|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|103|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} and five-speed manual transmission C54, the four-speed automatic U340E being optional.

The Canadian Yaris hatchback was available in 3 and 5-door models and is similar to the US variant, running on the Toyota NZ engine, a 1.5 L 4-cylinder VVT-i engine rated {{convert|106|bhp|kW|abbr=on}} and {{convert|103|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}}. The 2006 Yaris with the 1.5-litre engine can achieve fuel economy ratings of {{convert|40|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp}} during highway driving and {{convert|34|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} during city driving. 3-door CE and 5-door LE versions come with 14-inch wheels, while RS models are equipped with 15-inch alloys with standard anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD). In addition, 2008 RS models include new front and rear skirts. The CE, LE, and RS packages were replaced by the more modular convenience, power, and all-weather guard packages.

For the 2009 year, the Yaris 5-door liftbacks join the lineup of the existing 4-door sedans and 3-door liftbacks because of the increased demand for fuel efficient subcompact cars. In addition to the new 5-door liftback, all 2009 Yaris models come standard with anti-lock brakes (ABS), front seat-mounted side airbags and front and rear curtain side airbags. For 2009, Toyota also added cruise control as an option on liftback models, and has added a few more colour choices.{{cite web |url=http://www.automoblog.net/2009/01/01/2009-toyota-yaris-review/ |title=2009 Toyota Yaris Review |publisher=Automoblog.net |access-date=2009-01-02}}

The Yaris has been praised by the automotive press for its extremely high fuel economy, but criticized for its excessive body roll (due to a soft suspension and high ride height) and the initial lack of a manual transmission on 5-door models.

The 2010 model has a 5-speed manual option for the 5-door. It also has the Star Safety System – Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) + Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist.

= Recall =

In January 2009, Toyota recalled 1.28 million vehicles worldwide based on the Yaris platform, such as the Vitz, Belta and the Ractis. The recall is based on a seat belt defect that, in severe front-end collisions, could cause a foam pad in the vehicle to ignite.{{cite web |date=2009-01-28 |title=Toyota to Recall 2006–'07 Yaris |url=http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=140869?mktcat=enabler&AID=10364102&PID=3193631&kw=N&synpartner=edmunds&mktid=cj260233 |access-date=2009-07-15 |publisher=Edmunds.com}}{{dead link|date=November 2016|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}

The 7-speed refers to the possibility to select a predefined gear ratio among 7 available, emulating a 7-speed sequential gearbox, with steering wheel levers.

The Vitz came with "Toyota Safety Sense C" package including features Lane Departure Alert, Automatic High Beam and Pre-crash safety system. Pre-crash safety system alarm will work when vehicle is between 15km/h to 140km/h, whereas automatic brakes will apply when vehicle is between 10km/h to 80km/h. The XP130 model comes with up to nine airbags: driver and front passenger airbags, front-seat mounted side airbags, a knee airbag for the driver, first and second row side-curtain airbags and two front seat cushion airbags.

The Vitz was offered in F, U, Jewela and RS model grades. The engines available range from 1.0- to 1.5-litres. The 1.5-litre RS model has a CVT transmission for the automatic, sporty front fascia and taillamps. Just like the previous generation, 2WD and 4WD drivetrains are available in Japan. The different engine size choices give Japanese drivers an option as to which annual road tax obligation they wish to pay, and larger engines are installed in vehicles with higher levels of optional equipment. On 6 September 2011, new RS G's sport trim based from the regular RS was launched. This model has new aero bodykit, tuned suspensions, lightweight 17-inch aluminium wheels and high performance tires.{{cite press release |url=https://global.toyota/jp/newsroom/toyota/21784073.html?_ga=2.142769397.1113937334.1554563592-1080179657.1551660833 |title=TOYOTA、ヴィッツのラインアップを充実 |trans-title=Additional line up of Toyota Vitz |date=6 September 2011 |access-date=26 September 2020 |website=Toyota}} The Vitz received its facelift on 21 April 2014. The F, U and Jewela models received the updated front fascia that was only marketed in Japan, while the RS model shares the front fascia with the facelifted Yaris in export markets, but with different headlamps and tail lamps (also marketed as the Yaris ZR in Australia). The RS model was discontinued and replaced by the Sporty package variant of the U model with the second facelift in January 2017.

In 2013, a different XP150 series Yaris which is based on the XP150 series Vios sedan was launched in some Asian markets, including many Southeast Asian regions. This version is not related to the XP130 series Vitz-based Yaris, instead, the XP150 series Yaris is based on the EFC platform.

In Singapore, the local dealer launched the XP130 series Yaris in 1.33-litre variant in the first quarter of 2013 to mid-2014. It was the only Asian country outside Japan and Hong Kong to source the Vitz-based Yaris.{{cite web |title=Toyota Yaris Singapore |url=https://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_overview.php?CarCode=11302 |website=SgCarmart}}

The XP130 series Yaris for the Australian market was revealed at the July 2011 Australian International Motor Show held in Melbourne. The new Yaris has a sportier, more rounded grille and redesigned front bumper.{{cite web |date=2011-07-01 |title=Toyota Yaris Unveiled at the 2011 Australian International Motor Show |url=http://www.caradvice.com.au/124936/2011-toyota-yaris-at-australian-international-motor-show-2011/ |access-date=2011-07-01 |publisher=CarAdvice.com.au}} The Australian Yaris comes in either a 1.3-litre or 1.5-litre powered petrol engine. Models sold are the basic YR, the mid-range YRS, YRX and the sportier ZR which features a sporty bumper with body kit. The basic YR model features 7 SRS airbags and Multi-Information Display as standard. Since the facelift in 2014, the range is 5-door only and has had a name change. They are now: Ascent for the base model, SX for the mid-range and ZR is the top level. In January 2017, there was another facelift and tech change, this bought a slightly different headlight/bumper/grill combination and Toyota Safety sense (auto high beam, lane departure alert and autonomous braking) became an option on Ascent and SX and standard on ZR.{{cite news |last=Maclean |first=Andrew |date=2017-05-13 |title=2017 Toyota Yaris range review - The Sweet Spot: Toyota Yaris |work=Drive |location=Australia |url=https://www.drive.com.au/new-car-reviews/2017-toyota-yaris-range-review-20170513-gw446l.html |access-date=2018-07-08}}

For the North American market, the XP130 series Yaris was released in the fourth quarter of 2011, for the 2012 model year, under the Yaris Liftback name. Offered in both three- and five-door hatchback styles, the Yaris Liftback offered only the previous generation's 1.5-litre engine with a five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic transmission.{{cite web |date=2011-12-22 |title=2012 Toyota Yaris Review |url=http://www.automoblog.net/2011/12/22/2012-toyota-yaris-review/ |access-date=2011-12-22 |publisher=Automoblog.net}} The 2012 model year three- and five-door hatchbacks were available in the base L (CE in Canada), mid-range LE and sport-tuned SE trim levels.

In the US, the previous XP90 Yaris sedan was replaced by the Scion iA, a rebadged Mazda2 sedan, from the 2016 model year until the Scion marque was dropped. The iA was later renamed to the Yaris iA, and then back to the Yaris sedan.{{cite web |date=1 April 2015 |title=Toyota Yaris sedan is a Scion iA rebadged for Canada {{!}} CTV News {{!}} Autos |url=https://www.ctvnews.ca/autos/all-new-2016-toyota-yaris-sedan-coming-to-canada-this-fall-1.2306941 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191016220029/https://www.ctvnews.ca/autos/all-new-2016-toyota-yaris-sedan-coming-to-canada-this-fall-1.2306941 |archive-date=16 October 2019 |access-date=16 October 2019}}{{cite web |date=16 October 2019 |title=Toyota Yaris iA |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/toyota/yaris-ia |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160902223204/http://www.caranddriver.com/toyota/yaris-ia |archive-date=2 September 2016 |access-date=16 October 2019}} However, the Scion iA was marketed as the Yaris sedan in Canada since its introduction.
