Available only as a hatchback with three or five doors, the body shows a bubble-shaped roof with large windows for the front passengers. The front-end sports a large air intake below the badge. Faux intakes to the side hold fog lights.

L and LE trim model sport 15-inch wheels, while the SE trim level gets 16-inch wheels. With all trims, the front is supported by McPherson struts, while a torsion bar holds the rear wheels to the car. SE trim cars get disc brakes all around.

Buyers benefit from a 6.1-inch touchscreen at all Yaris trim levels. That touchscreen shows detailed audio information for the six-speaker stereo.

Double-stitched cloth seats look good. The sport bolsters suggest this is an SE trim car.
