![]() The L-arm MacPherson strut front suspension includes a 0.9-inch stabilizer bar. Yaris is EPA-certified as an Últra-Low Emission vehicle (ÚLEV II). Yaris fuel efficiency is among the best in the subcompact segment, with EPA fuel economy ratings of 29 MPG city /36 MPG highway for manual transmission models and 35/29 for the automatic. (posted on ) The automatic features uphill/downhill shift logic to reduce gear 'hunting' to help ensure smooth performance when driving in hills. Both models come with a standard five-speed manual transmission and offer an available four-speed automatic transmission. The Yaris's 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine is equipped with variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and produces 106 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 103 lb.-ft. The body structure incorporates damping materials in strategic locations throughout to reduce noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), helping to make Yaris quiet and comfortable for long trips. ![]() The inherent strength of the Yaris platform allowed Toyota to tune the suspension for quick responses yet with a compliant ride. The Yaris is built around a highly rigid yet lightweight structure incorporating strategic use of high-tensile steel. ![]() A low 0.29 coefficient of drag ensures aerodynamic efficiency for both models. The Yaris Sedan has an overall length of 169.3 inches compared to 150.6 inches for the Liftback, and the Sedan is 2.5 inches lower than the Liftback, as well. The Yaris Sedan rides on a longer version of the platform, with a 100.4-inch wheelbase versus 96.9 inches for the Liftback. ![]() The trunk lid extends down to the bumper molding to provide a substantial appearance as well as easy trunk access. In the rear, the tail lamps frame a wide trunk opening. Eliminating outer moldings from the windshield and door glass helps to enhance aerodynamics and reduce wind noise. Like the Liftback, the Sedan features a 'T' face grille that emphasizes the Toyota identity. In front, the grille is framed by sharp character lines integrated into the aerodynamic hood and windshield. The Yaris Sedan is not only dimensionally different than the Liftback, but features its own styling. The distinctive rear styling features large taillights, and the wide liftgate provides easy cargo area access. Integrated bumpers and headlamps and color-keyed door handles and mirrors give the Yaris a sophisticated appearance. Its arched beltline and wheels pushed outward at each corner give Yaris Liftback an assertive stance. Styled at Toyota's European design studio, ED², and Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) Design Division, the Yaris Liftback features a strong, modern mono-form shape with short overhangs. ![]()
