2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan?

The Toyota Yaris sedan is a subcompact economy car based on the Mazda2, a car no longer sold in the U.S. It’s powered by a 106-horsepower, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that works with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Competitors include the Nissan Versa, Kia Rio and Chevrolet Sonic

What’s New on the 2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan?

The multimedia system now supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. 

What Features in the 2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan Are Most Important?

The Yaris proves that efficiency, fun and value can all happily coexist. With EPA-estimated gas mileage of up to 35 mpg combined with the automatic transmission — and a suspension built by Mazda — the Yaris is an efficient, nimble performer. Don’t expect quick acceleration from the 1.5-liter four-cylinder, however.  

Should I Buy the 2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan?

For first-time car buyers or anyone who wants a low-cost subcompact sedan, the Yaris is worth a test drive. Agile handling is a plus, as is the addition of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The new Nissan Versa, however, has more standard active safety features.
