2017 Toyota Yaris review: Our expert's take

Vehicle Overview

What it is: The Yaris hatchback serves as an entry-level model for Toyota and is available in two- and four-door body styles. Toyota has discontinued its Scion brand and rebadged the Scion iA sedan as the Yaris iA, which is covered separately in the Cars.com Research section.

All models use a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and are available with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. The front-drive Yaris hatchback competes in a busy field of small cars that includes the Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent and Chevrolet Sonic.
New for 2017
The Toyota Safety Sense C package, which includes pre-collision braking, lane departure warning and automatic high beams, is standard on all models.

Perfect commuter

March 18, 2021

By ImaFan from Pearland, TX

Haven't had the car very long, but love it. I like the exterior styling and the interior dash and radio display are nice, just keep in mind it's 4 years old so not as fancy as a brand new car - but pretty good sized touch screen. Engine has more power than I thought it would. With 3 adults, I got up to 60mph within the on-ramp for the highway and merged without issue.
