2023 Toyota Yaris 1.5G

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has quietly updated the 2023 Toyota Yaris (NSP151) on its website for the second time this year.

The hatch keeps its same sharp look, and prices thankfully haven't gone up too, starting from RM 83,300 for the Yaris 1.5E, to RM 87,600 for the Yaris 1.5G. This also means that the base Yaris 1.5J has been discontinued. The breadth o

The phrase “never judge a book by its cover” doesn’t seem to apply to the Toyota Yaris which has been given a conflicted-looking makeover recently in Thailand. Beauty can be subjective but it doesn’t really strike much to the 2023 Toyota Yaris facelift as it became the Kingdom’s best-selling B-segment hatchback in April. According to sales data published by Autolife Thailand, 2,288 units of the refreshed Toyota Yaris have been sold that month which translates to nearly half of the total hatchbac

It seems like an obvious gap will be plugged soon as Toyota Asia Pacific executives confirmed that hybrid variants of their best-selling 'A- and B-segment' vehicles are in development, adding to the company's increasingly-electrified model range. Speaking to WapCar.my at the sidelines of the Idemitsu Super 1500 Endurance race in Thailand, Hao Tien, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Toyota Motor Asia Pacific said, "From the business perspective, we do have plans for hybrid A/B segment.
