The 2015 Toyota Yaris has made its way to the US market after being officially introduced by Toyota in Europe in late May 2014. This latest version of the Yaris takes its inspiration from its European counterpart.
The 2015 Toyota Yaris in the US features a bold and visually appealing front end design. The front of the car is fashioned in an “X” shape, similar to the European Aygo model.
This “X” shape creates two distinct sections at the front of the vehicle, with the automaker’s logo positioned in the center. The Toyota Yaris has projector headlights and modern LED daytime running lights that can be found on luxury cars. The car’s rear is finalized with redesigned bumpers and distinctive taillights.
Toyota has not provided many details about the interior of the upgraded Yaris. However, the 2015 Toyota Yaris in the US comes equipped with a new instrument panel that features a sporty design and uses high-quality materials.
Other improvements to the Yaris include enhanced suspension, a more sturdy body structure, and additional sound insulation materials. The US version of the Toyota Yaris 2015 is powered by a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine that delivers a maximum power of 106 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 103 lb-ft at 4,200 rpm. Power is transmitted to the wheels via a standard 5-speed manual transmission or an optional 4-speed automatic transmission.
In the US market, the 2015 Toyota Yaris is available in three different trim levels: the standard L, the premium LE, and the sporty SE. All trim levels have the option of adding a navigation system.
The starting price for the 2015 Toyota Yaris in the US is $14,485, excluding the $825 destination and delivery charge. This is the starting price for the manual transmission version of the Toyota Yaris L 2015. The automatic transmission version of the Toyota Yaris SE 5-door has a price tag of $17,620.
