All feature energetic performance from a 1.5litre four-cylinder aluminum alloy block engine that kicks out 106 peak horsepower and up to 103 lb-ft of torque. Front wheel drive enhanced with highly responsive electric power steering, front suspensions equipped with stabilizer bars and a generous suite of braking technologies.

Innovative engine technologies – including variable valve timing with intelligence and sequential multiport electronic fuel injection – help deliver power to the Yaris 4-cylinder while keeping emissions to a minimum. Coupled to Toyota’s proven five-speed manual transmission, Yaris delivers a combined city/highway fuel efficiency of just 6.3L/100km. Those looking for the convenience of an automatic will enjoy Toyota’s four-speed super electronically controlled transmission, which also delivers impressive fuel efficiency at just 6.4L/100KM (city/highway combined).

Inspired design continues to impress, with standard features like halogen headlamps and intermittent wipers with mist feature. Inside, Canadians will find a surprising amount of space and comfort, with room for five adults and seats that are designed to ensure extra back support for those long road trips. The cabin is full of convenience features, including audio systems featuring MP3-capable CD players, tilt steering columns, plenty of in-cabin storage, dual vanity mirrors, digital clock, front and rear cupholders, and more. The Yaris cabin also gets great marks for safety, with dual stage driver and front passenger airbags, front seatbelt pre-tensioners, force limiters and adjustable B-pillar anchors, and anchor points for child seats. In addition, available options packages allow any model to be fitted with up to six airbags.
