Sitting between mini-compact and compact, the tight-budgets subcompact market was surging in 2000 due to the growing demand of budget-friendly plus fuel-efficient cars. Ahead of the rising market, Toyota introduced Yaris into the market in 1999, replacing the Starlet and Tercel. Built based on the Mazda2 so that owner can expect Mazda’s advanced engine, cockpit design and chassis wrapped by the Toyota sheet.
Based on the previous version, the 2019 Toyota Yaris continues a fish-like face, with simple and smooth curves. Available in 3 different trim ranges, XLE variants appeared to be sportier compared to LE and XLE variants. From the outside, the XLE puts on automatic LED headlights, a rear spoiler, rain-sensing windshield wipers and 16-inch wheels. From the inside, the variant gains an upscaling leatherette upholstery from the first glance, along with automatic climate control.
For L, the standard variant, it offers standard air-con, USB ports, media set and a 7-inch touchscreen with a reminiscent rotary controller knob. In the sense of safety, all variants come with six airbags, forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, steering-wheel radio controls and cruise control. Toyota Yaris provides two years or 25,000 miles warranty for all variants.

In terms of interior decoration, the whole design of the 2019 Toyota Yaris L is very concise. There aren't too many technological equipments and central control screen, but it is reasonable to consider the price. Compared to sub-compact cars under the same price spectrum, Toyota Yaris gains a well-balanced cabin design by using soft-touch materials matches with a blue finish. Still, for the sake of budget-cutting, the cutting of center armrest, less comfortable rear passenger seats and a small boot behind were the pay. Also, little efforts were used to abate the road noise.
Toyota Yaris’s taking in 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine originated from Mazda, making 106 hp and 140 Nm of torque, which is sufficient for the metro commute but not for the highway. It is, as expected gained well-pleasing scores from EPA rating – 32 mpg in the city, 40 mpg on the highway and 35 combined. A six-speed manual transmission is written in as the standard, and only the XLEgets a six-speed automatic transmission for the extra RM 4,500.
