There are plenty of changes in store for the Yaris, Toyota’s popular sub-compact, this year. The designers updated the front and tail ends, as well as the dashboard. On the other hand, the engine hasn’t changed one bit. It’s still a 1.5L four-cylinder with 106 horsepower and 103 lbs.-ft. of torque. Modifications to the chassis helped make the car more rigid and reduce noise levels in the passenger compartment. The Yaris comes in three- and five-door versions.
