Toyota announced last month that it was bringing the Yaris five-door to the U.S. and on Wednesday the Japanese automaker revealed some more details – including pricing – on the diminutive hatchback.
Slated to hit Toyota showrooms later this summer, the Yaris five-door will retail from $13,305, with the up-level five-door Yaris S listing from $15,125. Both prices include an automatic transmission.

The additional rear doors promise to give buyers added utility and space without compromising fuel economy. When paired to an automatic transmission, the Yaris five-door returns 29/35 mpg city/highway, with the extra cog of the five-speed manual boosting the Yaris’ economy by 1 mpg on the highway.

Other improvements for the ’09 Yaris range also include standard ABS, Toyota ’s Electronic Brake Force Distribution and side airbags for both front and rear seat passengers.
