Why did Toyota discontinue the Yaris?


Toyota discontinued the Yaris primarily due to declining sales of small cars as consumers shifted to larger SUVs and crossovers. Additionally, the cost to meet new safety and emissions regulations for a new generation made the vehicle less profitable, especially in the competitive U.S. market where sales had already plummeted. Toyota is also focusing resources on its hybrid and electric vehicle development, with some markets introducing the smaller Yaris Cross SUV as a replacement.
 

  • Declining market demand: The overall popularity of subcompact cars waned as many consumers in markets like the US began preferring larger vehicles like SUVs and crossovers. 
  • Profitability concerns: Making a new-generation Yaris compliant with modern safety and emissions standards would have made the entry-level model too expensive to build profitably. 
  • Strategic shift: Toyota redirected its resources and strategy towards hybrid and electric vehicles and larger models. In some regions, this meant launching the Yaris Cross SUV to fill the gap left by the discontinued Yaris sedan and hatchback. 
  • Model platform changes: The US market Yaris had been a rebadged Mazda2 for several years, indicating a lack of investment in its own subcompact platform. 



Is the 2019 Toyota Yaris a good car?


The 2019 Toyota Yaris is considered a good car for its reliability, fuel efficiency, and low ownership costs, but it lacks modern features like Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and has a weak engine. It is a strong choice for city driving, first-time car owners, or as a second vehicle, but potential buyers should consider the lack of power for highway driving and fewer advanced safety features compared to competitors.

  • Value: It's inexpensive to buy and own, and comes with some appealing standard features. 
  • Upscale Interior: Some reviewers noted the cabin has an upscale feel with attractive materials. 
  • Safety Features: The Liftback model comes with more safety features than the sedan, including standard low-speed automatic emergency braking. 

Cons
  • Engine Power: The 106 horsepower engine is not very powerful, which can make highway passing difficult. 
  • Lack of Smartphone Integration: It does not offer Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, which are standard on most other new cars. 
  • Ride Comfort: The sporty suspension can lead to a rougher ride over bumps. 
  • Limited Space: Cargo and interior space is limited. 
  • Part Availability: Because it was discontinued, parts may be harder to find in the future compared to more common models like the Corolla, notes this Reddit post.
