Sporty sedan with comfy interior
The 2017 Toyota Yaris iA is a four-door, subcompact sedan that prioritizes both comfort and space. The model debuted in 2016 as the Scion iA but was rechristened the Yaris iA for the 2017 model year. The Yaris iA is a sibling to the regular Yaris, which is a similar vehicle but in hatchback form.
The Yaris iA comfortably seats five and operates on a standard 1.5L, four-cylinder engine with 106 horsepower. It offers a sporty, modern look and a luxurious interior—and only one level to choose from. Rather than a variety of confusing trim levels, the Yaris iA offers one well-equipped package with generous standard features.
