A globally successful car from the Toyota brand, the Yaris has been around for more than two decades after first entering the market in 1999. As a subcompact car, it’s been most widely advertised for its low emissions and excellent fuel efficiency. Toyota got in early in the electric-car era, with their hybrids dating back a decade now – a move that’s obviously paid off, given where the car industry stands today. Made available in both automatic and manual variants, the Yaris is a strong contender in the small hatch segment.
