2018 Toyota Yaris

If you're on a budget, and would still like to own a decent car that looks classy and offers a suite of features, looks no further than the 2018 Toyota Yaris, an unbeatable combination of performance and style. The Toyota Yaris comes in two variants-- the hatchback edition called Yaris, the sedan called the Yaris iA. Don't be confused by the names. Both of these models are affordable for the average buyer and come packed with class and performance.

The 2018 Toyota Yaris has had a few upgrades for this year. The exterior features include a new redesigned curvaceous silhouette that looks bold and classy. There are powerful LED headlights that not only illuminate your way but also grab attention everywhere. Some of the other exterior details include the bold front fascia, fog lights, window defogger, antenna on the roof, and 16-inch allow wheels. The Yaris comes in three trims: L, LE, and SE. Every model has three or five-door options.

The interior has also been refreshed for the 2018 edition, with fabric-trimmed seats and an intuitive dashboard. The 6.1-inch touchscreen provides access to infotainment at a single touch. Although the vehicle doesn't support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, there are other features that more than make up for it. You get voice recognition; you also get wireless Bluetooth that supports music streaming, a backup camera, and the Entune navigation app that provides directions to guide you on your ride.

The 2018 Toyota Yaris runs on a one-and-a-half liter engine, with a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic transmission. The Yaris has good fuel economy, offering 36 highway mpg to help get you places faster. What the Yaris stands out for is its safety features. The IIHS has marked the vehicle "Good" for its suite of advanced safety features. Some of the features that make the car so safe include a pre-collision system, lane departure alert system, vehicle stability control, anti-lock brake system, traction control, and brake assist. The Yaris also has a nine-airbag system, including front, rear, driver, and passenger airbags.

The cargo capacity of the Yaris remains unchanged from last year. There's 15.6 cubic feet of trunk space, along with 60/40 split folding rear seats that provide additional storage space. Whether you're traveling for an hour or for a day, there's plenty of room to hold all your belongings.

The Toyota Yaris is a budget hatchback packed with features. Get one home and experience it for yourself.
