The updated 2018 Toyota Yaris is sportier and more value-oriented than ever before. Its affordable price tag and versatile hatchback body make the Yaris an ideal choice for a smart and practical everyday subcompact car that doesn't skimp on the details. The Toyota Yaris comes in three trim levels: the three-door and five-door L, the three-door and five-door LE, and the luxurious five-door SE.
Performance and Powertrains
The 2018 Toyota Yaris comes with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that has Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i). It's mated to a five-speed manual transmission on the entry-level trim, while higher trim levels offer the option of a four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with intelligence for a smooth driving experience. The manual transmission gets drivers a fuel economy of 30 mpg city and 36 mpg highway, while the automatic drops only slightly to 30 mpg city and 35 mpg highway.* The powertrain delivers 106 horsepower and 103 lb-ft of torque regardless of transmission.
Interior Design
Standard features in the cabin of the 2018 Toyota Yaris include the Entune™ audio system with six speakers and a 6.1-inch touchscreen. Connectivity features like Siri Eyes Free and Bluetooth ® wireless improve functionality and safety on the go. Higher trim levels offer interior options like a leather-trimmed sport steering wheel and shift lever, integrated navigation, and live traffic and weather updates. There's even an ECO Driving Indicator that helps drivers keep an eye on fuel economy and usage, complete with alerts.
New for 2018
On the outside, the 2018 Toyota Yaris bears a larger and more confident grille with a chrome surround, giving the subcompact a more high-end, athletic appearance. The new rear bumper and taillights add to the fresh look, while the range-topping SE model adds 16-inch aluminum wheels and a piano-black mesh grille. Inside, many of the features found only on higher Yaris trims in previous model years or not found at all - such as the sport instrument cluster and steering wheel mounted controls - are now standard on lower trims.
With its combination of tested features and fresh updates, the 2018 Toyota Yaris efficiently and stylishly gets you where you need to go. Stopby Bill Walsh Toyota to set up a test drive and learn more about this connected and confident subcompact car.
