2007 Toyota Yaris S 4dr Sedan

Overview

The Toyota Yaris has good looks, suave road manners, perky performance and a well-tailored interior that establish new benchmarks in the entry-level game. The Yaris is available both as a three-door hatchback and four-door sedan. Just one level of liftback is being offered, but the sedan can also be ordered as a sportier S model. All Yaris models are powered through the front wheels by a small but sophisticated 1.5-liter engine with an output of 106 horsepower. A five-speed manual transmission is standard while a four-speed automatic is optional. Since the liftback and sedan were designed separately, there are minor differences in such areas as interior trim and materials and dashboard layout, but each is similarly equipped. The standard running gear consists of P175/65R14 radials on 14-inch steel wheels, and the brakes are front ventilated discs and rear drums. The suspension is independent in front and torsion beam in the rear. The Yaris is a new model for Toyota in 2007.
