2019 Toyota Yaris Update Includes Revised Name

Toyota Motor Corp. is tweaking the name of its subcompact sedan in the U.S. again.

Power outside mirrors are standard on all models, while the LE and XLE variants get heated mirrors with LED turn-signal indicators. The top-line XLE also sports a host of leather and “leatherette” trim throughout the interior, automatic LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers and illuminated entry.

Power comes from a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that makes 106 hp and 103 lb-ft of torque. Buyers can choose between a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 6-speed automatic, which Toyota estimates will yield fuel economy ratings of 34 mpg and 35 mpg, respectively.

Toyota also will continue to offer the Yaris hatchback, which rides on a different platform. That vehicle is known in Japan as the Vitz.
