2019 TOYOTA YARIS OVERVIEW
Yaris is Toyota’s entry-level subcompact sedan, formerly sold as the Scion iA. It is available in three trim levels (L, LE, XLE). Both L and LE offer a choice of a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The XLE is only equipped with the automatic. There are no available standalone options or packages, just a few accessories.
Yaris comes with a 106-hp 1.5-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine.

Yaris Sedan carries over with the following changes.
