Overview

The 2017 Toyota Yaris Hatchback is a subcompact hatchback offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $15,250. For that price, it mainly competes with the Honda Fit, the Nissan Versa Note, and the Ford Fiesta Hatchback. Between 3 trims, the Yaris offers a standalone powertrain with two transmission options. It is a 1.5L inline 4 making 106 horsepower and 103 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Yaris Hatchback reaches 60 MPH from zero in 9.5 seconds and manages a combined fuel economy between 32 and 33 MPG. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 6 striking colors the Yaris Hatchback comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The 2017 Toyota Yaris leans towards practicality and spendthrift nature and offers decent safety and driver assistance with the price it comes at. We recommend shortlisting the LE trim which comes with standard cruise control, remote locking and unlocking, steering-mounted audio controls, etc.
