Featuring styling that is different than its three-door liftback sibling, the sedan is designed with a sophisticated look that can go sporty or conservative. With Yaris, it's all about the driver's choice.

Riding on a 100.4-inch wheelbase, the Yaris displays competent handling. With its 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that provides 106 horsepower and 103 lb-ft of torque, and equipped with variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i), it's not Ferrari fast, but with your choice of a standard five-speed manual transmission or the optional four-speed automatic, it's a cinch to provide driving satisfaction. On its standard P175/65R14 radials, EPA fuel estimates for the Yaris are 29 city / 36 highway with the manual transmission, and 29 city / 35 highway for the automatic.

Convenience features on the Yaris sedan include air conditioning, six-way adjustable front seats, a tilt steering wheel, visors with vanity mirrors and intermittent windshield wipers. The sedan features rear seating for three with individual headrests, in a 60-40 split arrangement.

Safety features include advanced dual-stage front airbags, which inflate according to the intensity of the collision. Front-seat-mounted side airbags with first and second row roll-sensing side curtain airbags are available as an option.

Various packages are available to personalize your Yaris. In addition to the side mounted airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS) and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) are also there for added safety. Add 15-inch alloy wheels, and an AM/FM/CD with MP3 system for in-car entertainment. A sport Yaris 'S' package is available which adds a front and rear spoiler, amber gauges, sport seat fabric, a tachometer, and a leather steering wheel with matching shift knob for a total sporting appearance.
