2019 Toyota Yaris

The 2019 Toyota Yaris (XP130 Series) represents the final production year of the third-generation model sold in the Japanese Domestic Market under the Toyota Vitz nameplate prior to its global renaming to "Yaris" in late 2019 for the fourth-generation rollout. Designed as a highly maneuverable urban supermini hatchback, the 2019 model features a compact aerodynamic profile with a bold trapezoidal front bumper grille, swept-back projector headlights, integrated daytime running lights, a sporty rear roof spoiler, and vertical-themed LED tail lamps. Trims in the Japanese market span from the base commercial F grade and mid-tier U specification to the sport-styled Jewela and the high-performance GR SPORT / RS variants. Under the bonnet, JDM buyers were offered three distinct petrol powertrain configurations: an entry-level 1.0-liter 1KR-FE 3-cylinder engine ($69\text{ PS} / 92\text{ Nm}$), a balanced 1.3-liter 1NR-FKE 4-cylinder engine with VVT-iE ($99\text{ PS} / 121\text{ Nm}$), and a performance-oriented 1.5-liter 2NR-FKE 4-cylinder engine ($109\text{ PS} / 136\text{ Nm}$). A 1.5-liter 1NZ-FXE Hybrid powertrain ($100\text{ PS}$ combined) was also available. Power is routed through Super CVT-i automatic transmissions (with a 5-speed manual on sport grades) driving the Front Wheels (2WD) or an optional electrical 4WD system on select 1.3L trims. Inside, the cabin prioritizes ergonomic utility and spatial efficiency. Key features include an analog/digital instrument cluster, touchscreen T-Connect navigation/infotainment, manual or single-zone automatic climate control, versatile 60/40 split fold-flat rear seating, smart keyless entry with push-button start, and the standard Toyota Safety Sense C active driver assistance system.
