Overview

The 2013 Toyota Yaris Hatchback makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact hatchback. With 3 trims on offer, the Toyota Yaris has a base MSRP of $14,370, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $17,280, competing directly with the Honda Fit, the Nissan Versa Note, and the Ford Fiesta Hatchback. Only a 1.5L Inline-4 engine is offered, with a choice between a 5-speed Manual transmission and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 106 horsepower and 103 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 9.3 seconds, the Toyota Yaris maintains a combined fuel economy of 33 MPG. Toyota offers the Toyota Yaris in 9 stunning colors, with the Classic Silver Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.
