Pricing details have been announced for the 2018
Toyota Yaris in the U.S., not long after the updated range was announced in the
UK and Europe.
The new Yaris looks
quite a bit more modern than the previous car, and includes a comprehensively
modified exterior. Among the most obvious styling modifications is a more
dynamic grille with chrome accents, and different headlights and taillights.
In the UK, the 2018 Yaris is available with three
different engines, a 1.0-liter, a 1.5-liter and a 1.5-liter hybrid. Strangely,
no announcement has been made about which of these engines will be available to
U.S. customers.
We know that the entry-level model
will come in the form of the three-door Yaris with L trim, priced from US$ 15,635
with a manual transmission - customers who prefer an auto will have to cough up US$ 16,385. The LE grade then starts at US$ 17,285 in three-door guise, with pricing
increasing to US$ 17,660 for the five-door.
Last but not least is the SE grade, which includes a
larger 7.0-inch touchscreen and starts at US$ 18,260 for the five-door manual, and US$ 19,060 for the five-door auto.
