The Yaris drives well so long as you don’t demand too much out of the powertrain. It has a combination of frugality and fun that’s surprising and appealing. No Denying Its Mazda DNAĭespite how it looks (which will strike you as either swoopy and cute or fish-faced and weird), the new Yaris sedan works quite well.
And we are very, very happy for that, because given the hefty dose of Mazda DNA here, the new Yaris is not only super frugal, it’s also remarkably fun to drive, with a zippy engine, tight handling, responsive steering and a stylish interior. TL, DR: The latest Yaris sedan and hatchback are reskinned versions of the global Mazda2 sedan and hatchback, built by Mazda for Toyota to sell in North America. The Toyota brand took on the car next, relabeling it the Yaris iA, before giving up on the suffix and calling it simply the Yaris when its own Toyota-designed Yaris hatchback was canceled for North America in 2020. Toyota’s now defunct “youth brand” Scion sold the sedan version as the Scion iA for one model year, 2016, before the Scion brand was canned. But not this specific version - Mazda sold only a hatchback version in the U.S., not a sedan. The car it is today began life as a Mazda2, which was sold in the U.S. Related: Here Are the 10 Cheapest New Cars You Can Buy Right Now Simply put, it doesn’t look much like other Toyotas, and there’s a good reason for that: It’s not a Toyota. The latest Toyota Yaris might look a little unusual if you’re familiar with how most Toyotas look these days. 2020 Toyota Yaris sedan | photo by Aaron Bragman
