The Toyota Yaris (Japanese: ??? ????, Toyota Yarisu) is a subcompact car produced by Toyota since 1999, replacing the Starlet.
Between 1999 and 2005, some markets received the same vehicles under the Toyota Echo name. Toyota has used the "Yaris" and "Echo" names on the export version of several different Japanese-market models. The name "Yaris" is derived from "Charis", the singular form of Charites, the Greek goddesses of charm and beauty.

Third generation (XP150; 2013-present)
Since 2013, a different version of the Yaris, based on the Toyota Vios (XP150), was launched for the Asian market - including China, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brunei and the Philippines.
The Chinese market also released the regular XP90 Vitz-based Yaris produced locally by the GAC Toyota joint venture. China also sells the Vios-based model as the Yaris L, available in 1.3- 6NR-FE and 1.5-liter 7NR-FE versions. The facelift Yaris L was unveiled at the April 2016 Auto China. In 2016, a facelift was conducted by the GAC Toyota joint venture, and a sedan version was added based on the Toyota Vios sedan.
In Thailand, this Yaris was released in October 2013, using the 1.2-liter 3NR-FE engine, granting the Yaris as part of the "eco-car" program in Thailand. Models offered are as follows: J ECO, J, E, G and TRD Sportivo.
For the Indonesian market, the XP150 model was revealed in December 2013, and launched on 17 March 2014, with assembly at Karawang, Indonesia. This Indonesian Yaris is similar to the Thai version, thus bigger than the Yaris in other markets, and uses the 1.5-liter 1NZ-FE engine. Trim levels offered are: E, G, and TRD Sportivo with manual or automatic transmission. The XP150 model received an update on 3 November 2016, along with an addition of crossover-like variant, the Yaris Heykers. The updated XP150 model uses the newer 1.5-liter 2NR-FE engine from the facelifted second generation Avanza and the Indonesian-spec second generation Sienta. The Heykers variant was discontinued in January 2018, but will be back on sale with the updated model if there is still a demand.
For the Philippines market, the XP150 Yaris was launched in late 2013 and sold in two trim levels: the 1.3 E and the 1.5 G.
The same model is marketed as the Yaris Sport in Chile since 2014, and in Mexico and Argentina from 2016, where it is imported from Thailand. In Chile and Mexico, it replaced the XP130 Vitz-based Yaris hatchback.
Yaris ATIV
The Yaris ATIV sedan was launched in Thailand on 15 August 2017, using the same 1.2L engine as the Thai market XP150 model Yaris hatchback, with updated bodywork (later used in the facelifted regular Yaris). Models offered are as follows: J ECO, J, E, G and S. The ATIV is based on the XP150 Vios but with design cues from the Yaris hatchback. It was launched in Singapore on 14 December 2017 with the Vios naming instead of Yaris ATIV naming, albeit with a larger, more powerful 1.5L engine. It is available in E and G grades. It was also unveiled in India as the Yaris sedan on 7 February 2018 at the Auto Expo 2018. It will also be launched and assembled in Indonesia as the Vios.
Facelift
The facelifted XP150 model Yaris hatchback was launched in Thailand on 14 September 2017. The car uses the same front fascia as the Yaris ATIV sedan, with the taillights inspired by the second generation Auris. Models offered are as follows: J ECO, J, E and G.
While the facelifted Yaris hatchback and Yaris ATIV sedan/based Vios facelift is slightly more differentiated, but still more obviously similar like its European-made Aygo.
The facelifted Yaris hatchback was also launched in South Africa on 8 February 2018. For the first time, the Yaris hatchback for the South African market is imported from Thailand. It replaced the XP130 Vitz-based Yaris hatchback. Model offered are as follows: XI, XS, CROSS, XS CVT and SPORT.
The facelifted Yaris hatchback was also launched in Indonesia on 20 February 2018. It is assembled at Karawang plant. Trim levels offered are: E, G, and TRD Sportivo with manual or automatic transmission (CVT).

North America
As announced at the April 2015 New York Auto Show the sedan version of the Toyota Yaris sold in Canada and Mexico (Toyota Yaris R in Mexico) from mid-2015 will be a rebadged model of the Mazda 2 (DJ).
Toyota de México announced production R Yaris model in Mexico on the ground of Salamanca in Guanajuato where the company has a partnership with Mazda. The same vehicle is sold in the United States as the Scion iA.
For the Mexican market the car is named Toyota Yaris R because it is marketed alongside the Yaris sedan (based on the Belta and later the Vios).
After the phase-out of the Scion marque, iA took the Toyota badge in the United States and was renamed the Toyota Yaris iA from October 2016 for the 2017 model year.
