First use of the TNGA*1 platform for compact cars. A body that is light yet highly rigid and has a low center of gravity.
Adopts the latest powertrain, including a 1.5-liter inline three-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine based on the TNGA design philosophy. This engine pursues both driving performance and the world's highest level of fuel efficiency for a hybrid vehicle, in addition to the pleasure of driving.
The condensed, clutter-free cabin and compact form that extends from the center of the body to the front and rear wheels express an active dynamic design that appears ready to take off at a moment's notice.

The 1.5-liter Dynamic Force Engine with 6-speed manual;
An improved 1.0-liter engine with a compact and lightweight CVT.
Drivers will be able to experience the pleasure of a brisk ride.
In addition to pursuing
An accessory power outlet (1,500 W) is available for the hybrid version of the cars. With the accessory, electricity from the vehicle can be used to power electrical devices and appliances using the same type of electrical outlets found at home. Additionally, the vehicle can serve as an emergency power generator in cases such as blackouts.
Chief Engineer Yasunori Suezawa, in charge of development of the new Yaris, explained, 'This marks the 20th year since the first Yaris debuted, so we wanted to build a new-generation compact car that goes far beyond customers' preconceptions about class by building on the strengths of the Yaris as a compact car while revamping the platform, powertrain, and all other components. Compact cars are driven by many people, so offering a pleasurable drive was a priority, but it also prompted us to use the Yaris as the starting point of cars with the world's highest level of fuel efficiency and secure safety technology.'

Transmission
The transmission features a newly developed Direct Shift-CVT unit with a launch gear adapted to the new 1.5-liter engine. This greatly improves transmission efficiency at low speeds compared to the existing CVT and achieves direct and smooth driving according to accelerator operation and excellent fuel efficiency performance.
Equipped with a newly developed CVT for the 1.0-liter engine. This CVT is smaller and lighter than previous models and has improved fuel efficiency performance.
Suspension
The suspension uses MacPherson Struts on the front, providing agile and smooth motion.
The rear uses a torsion beam suspension for both handling stability and ride comfort (front-wheel drive). The Four-wheel drive*5 / E-Four adopts a two-link double wishbone suspension.

The pre-collision safety system detects pedestrians during the day and night and cyclists during the day to help prevent collisions and mitigate damage. The sensing system has been expanded to prevent accidents at intersections by detecting oncoming cars when turning right and pedestrians crossing the street when turning right or left (adopted by
The pre-collision safety system
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with full-speed range that supports driving behind another car
Lane Tracing Assist (LTA*9 that enhances steering so cars can remain centered in the same lane when using the radar cruise control
Automatic High Beam (AHB) that changes between high beam and low beam headlights
Road Sign Assist (RSA) that displays road signs recognized by the camera on the display so that drivers do not miss them
Secondary Collision Brake*10
The new Yaris is equipped with a Secondary Collision Brake, which contributes to mitigating the damage caused by secondary collisions. The Secondary Collision Brake and the brake lights are automatically activated if the SRS air bag sensor detects a collision and activates the air bags. This decelerates the vehicle to mitigate damage caused by secondary collisions.
Advanced Park*2 (Advanced Parking Support System, equipped on a
For the first time,
This system supports parking operations by controlling not just the steering wheel, but also the accelerator and brakes (the driver needs only to operate the shift lever according to instructions). The system alerts the driver with audible warnings and applies the brakes to help avoid minor collisions by using cameras and ultrasonic sensors to monitor the vicinity of the car.
By setting the parking spot in advance, the system can also park in spots without white lines (a world first*12)
Easy Return Seat*2 (equipped on a
This mechanism memorizes the driver's seat position using manual operation. Passengers can enjoy a comfortable ride, including in the rear seats, and let the Easy Return Seat function do the work when entering and exiting seats.
Turn Tilt Seats
Turn Tilt Seats*2 (equipped on a
This mechanism makes it easy for the driver and front passenger enter and exit the car by rotating the seat and tilting it. This facilitates entering and exiting the vehicle by passengers wearing a skirt or kimono and supports those with back pain or low muscle strength.
Accessory power outlet
An accessory power outlet (1,500 W) is available for the hybrid version of the cars. With the accessory, electricity from the vehicle can be used to power electrical devices and appliances using the same type of electrical outlets found at home. Additionally, the vehicle can serve as an emergency power generator in cases such as blackouts.
Latest Connected Services
All models come equipped with Display Audio (DA), which can connect with smartphones, and DCM*13 as standard features. This allows a smartphone to be used with various functions, and allows all customers to use connected services*14. Customers who prefer conventional on-board navigation systems can choose either the Entry Navigation Kit or T-Connect Navigation Kit.
Through SmartDeviceLinkTM*15 (SDL), smartphones can connect with Bluetooth*16 or a USB cable for use of navigation applications including TC smartphone navigation and LINE car navigation*17, as well as music and radio applications on DA. Voice recognition enables destination-setting, sending and receiving LINE messages, music playback, and other functions, improving convenience.
Apple CarPlay*18 and Android AutoTM*19 can use maps, phone calls, messaging, and music applications through DA by connecting smartphones with a USB cable (option includes TV; T-Connect contract required at time of signing contract).
HELPNET is one of the basic T-Connect services that provides drivers with assistance in the event of an accident or sudden illness. Pressing the HELPNET button connects to a dedicated operator who can promptly arrange for an emergency vehicle based on the vehicle's location. It also supports D-Call Net*20, which makes decisions on whether to call for a medical helicopter by automatically connecting with an operator if the air bags are activated.
Customers can choose the services they need from among optional services, including vehicle location tracking and operator services, for a monthly or yearly subscription fee.

Activation conditions
Activated if the SRS air bag sensor detects a collision and is activated while driving. The system will not activate if the components are damaged.
Cancellation conditions
The system automatically cancels the Secondary Collision Brake if
the vehicle approaches 0 km/h; a certain amount of time has elapsed after activating; or the driver heavily depresses the accelerator pedal.
Do not overly rely on the Secondary Collision Brake. This system is intended to mitigate damage caused by secondary collisions, however, the benefits of this feature are subject to change based on various conditions. Placing too much confidence in the system may lead to serious injuries or, in the worst case, death.
