Toyota Yaris Hatchback Comes With A 1.5L Naturally Aspirated Four-Cylinder Flex Engine That Delivers Up To 110 Horsepower And 14.9 Kg Of Torque
The Toyota Yaris, one of the most popular cars in Brazil, recently received an update to remain competitive in an increasingly fierce market. While the Yaris Sedan has gained a new generation and an SUV version, the Yaris hatch, the hatchback version, has not undergone major changes. The Japanese automaker aims to redefine expectations and establish the Yaris as a top choice for Brazilian consumers, challenging its competitors Polo and HB20, with an attractive value proposition, offering the Yaris hatch for an enticing entry price of 58,000 reais!
However, this mid-life update is welcome, as it keeps the model in line with current design and technology trends. Check out the changes brought by the new Yaris hatch and how they might influence its position in the market.

Jaecoo 7 with super hybrid SHS system exceeds 1,200 km of combined range with a 1.5 turbo engine, high-density battery, and intelligent energy management.
On the sides, the car retained its beautiful paint and 15-inch wheels. At the rear, we have a new sporty bumper with air vents, an integrated spoiler, and LED position lights. These changes helped modernize the Yaris hatch’s look and make it more attractive to consumers.
Yaris Hatch Will Not Receive The Same Hybrid Powertrain Found In The New Generation Of Yaris Sedan And Yaris Cross.
Unlike the Yaris Sedan and Yaris Cross, which will receive hybrid versions next year, the Yaris hatch will not have significant changes to its powertrain. It will continue to offer the 1.5L naturally aspirated four-cylinder Flex engine, which delivers up to 110 horsepower and 14.9 kg of torque. The performance of the Yaris hatch is average compared to its turbocharged competitors, but its fuel efficiency is pleasing.
Unfortunately, the Yaris hatch will not receive the same hybrid powertrain found in the new generation of Yaris Sedan and Yaris Cross. This would be an interesting addition, as it would provide extra performance and excellent fuel economy.
Toyota Yaris With Enhanced Interior
Inside, the Yaris hatch looks very similar to the previous model, with the main change being the new repositioned Multimedia Center featuring a 9-inch screen. This new unit offers connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, native GPS, and a rearview camera. Additionally, the seats have been redesigned, but the interior space remains virtually the same.
The Yaris hatch maintains an interesting list of features, highlighting digital climate control, keyless entry, a configurable display panel, multifunction steering wheel, sunroof, and seats with synthetic leather upholstery.
Safety
In terms of safety, the Yaris hatch offers a comprehensive package of features, including six airbags, ABS brakes, traction and stability controls, collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, and lane departure warning. Despite being a quality product, the Yaris hatch lags behind its competitors in terms of technology and design.
However, it still presents an interesting option, especially in the more basic versions, which have a more affordable acquisition price. Moreover, the 1.5L engine of the Yaris is superior to the 1.0L naturally aspirated engines found in other similar models on the market.
Updated Yaris Hatch May Arrive In Brazil Next Year!
Although the Yaris hatch has not undergone major changes compared to the previous generation, this mid-life update is a way to keep it competitive in an increasingly demanding market.
However, it seems that the Yaris hatch will have a short lifespan, as the new generation of the Yaris Sedan and Yaris Cross will be launched soon. The updated Yaris hatch is expected to arrive in Brazil in the second half of next year.
Toyota Does Not Intend To Make Major Changes To The Prices Of The New Yaris Hatch
It is important to emphasize that, to remain competitive, Toyota does not intend to make major changes to the prices of the new Yaris hatch. Toyota positions the Yaris hatchback competitively in the automotive landscape, offering a range of options with prices ranging from R$ 97,998 to R$ 122,900. To make the model even more accessible, the manufacturer allows the purchase of the car for an entry price of 58,000 reais, as announced on the automaker’s official website.
While it may still be considered a quality car, the Yaris hatch faces stiff competition in terms of design and powertrain. Nonetheless, its more basic versions provide an affordable and reliable option for those seeking a compact hatchback.
