Toyota Yaris has been first unveiled in 1999. In its second generation (first was sold until 2005), the Yaris will receive its first facelift for 2009.
Compared to the current Yaris the facelifted one will get a smaller grille and the bumper gets a new design(look around the fog lights). It also seems that the rear lights are repositioned. No information on the engines, but we are sure that cleaner and more efficient engines will also be introduced.
It’s small; It’s cheap; It’s fuel efficient; and It’s now what the U.S. looking to buy. Toyota today announced US pricing for the 2009 Yaris subcompact models. It will go on sale later this summer with prices ranging from $12,205 for the three-door Liftback (hatchback) Base model to $15,880 for the Sedan S model. This also includes the five-door Liftback model starting from $13,305.
The little four cylinder Yaris gets 29 MPG city and 36 highway
when the 1.5-liter engine is mated to a manual transmission.
