Key Features
Saud Abbasi, Managing Director of Al-Futtaim Toyota, stated: “The Yaris Sedan is one of the key models not only for our retail customers but also for our corporate and SME partners. The new model offers so much more than superior value and best-in-class fuel efficiency. The interior, exterior, and cutting-edge technology are ideal for aspiring young executives and small families alike.”
Exterior Design
From an exterior standpoint, the all-new Yaris flaunts sharp headlamps and a flurry of dynamic angles while being 15mm longer and 30mm wider than the model it replaces. Its masculine stance is accentuated by a horizontal grille, LED Daytime Running Lights (in the SE+ variant), and larger, more elegant taillamps. The eight-hue-strong color palette includes exciting shades of red and dark blue, alongside popular shades of white, black, and silver.
Interior Comfort
With its lengthened wheelbase offering more room to front and rear seat occupants, the 2018 Yaris enhances comfort and convenience. It welcomes an array of technology, including:
- LED lit cupholders
- Smart Entry & Start System
- Cruise control
- Automatic air conditioning
- Six speakers
- USB/AUX audio inputs
Available in two colors, Black and Ivory, the cabin exudes spaciousness and features simulated stitches for an added touch of luxury.

Both variants direct their power through a 7-step CVT transmission and deliver class-leading fuel economy figures of 20 kilometers per liter.

Going up against the likes of Honda City, Hyundai Accent, and Kia Rio, the all-new Yaris has a starting price of AED 59,900 for the SE variant and a significantly steeper AED 79,900 for the SE+.
