Toyota will introduce a revised version of the Yaris this summer, including refreshed styling, an improved interior, better vehicle dynamics.

Like the new Aygo, also due for launch this summer, the Yaris integrates a distinctive cross shape, centred on the front emblem, which separates the new-look upper and lower grilles. At the rear there are restyled light clusters fitted with LEDs.

Customer feedback has inspired improvements in three principal areas: a greater feeling of roominess and dynamic appeal; higher levels of perceived quality; and more choice in terms of colours and equipment.

Under the skin, the suspension has been revised to improve both comfort and handling. Noise levels have also been reduced. The range of powertrains is unchanged, with 1.0 and 1.33-litre petrol and 1.4 D-4D diesel engines, and Yaris's full hybrid system.
