“Drivers love the efficiency and easy-to-drive nature of small cars – and with vehicles like the Yaris Sedan, Toyota proves that small cars can also be stylish, fun and filled with popular features and technologies,” said Cyril Dimitris, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc. “Our 2019 models include many upgrades over the previous year’s line-up, at prices that make the Yaris Sedan the small car that’s big on value.”

The Yaris Sedan is designed for life on the go, and for 2019 this subcompact makes an immediate impression with a new race-inspired honeycomb front grille that anchors a sculpted front fascia and promises to move drivers swiftly and in style.

Inside, the Yaris Sedan welcomes driver and up to four friends to sit back and enjoy the ride, with a roomy cabin featuring surprisingly ample legroom in a subcompact.
