Where is the Toyota Yaris Hybrid made?

The Toyota Yaris Hybrid is built primarily at Toyota Motor Manufacturing France in Valenciennes, France, for the European market. While Europe is the main production hub for the hybrid variant, production logistics can vary by region and model year depending on demand and supply constraints.


Primary production site


In Europe, the Yaris Hybrid is assembled at Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (TMMF) in Valenciennes. This facility has long been the central source for the Yaris family and its hybrid variant, supplying European dealerships with the hybrid model.


Regional variations


Europe


Valenciennes remains the standard production location for the Yaris Hybrid sold in European markets, ensuring consistent supply and alignment with European emissions and efficiency standards.


Other markets


Toyota’s global production network means that some Yaris Hybrid units may be allocated to non-European markets as needed. However, for most European customers, the hybrid variant is produced in Valenciennes, with regional logistics determining exact shipments elsewhere.


Verifying the plant of manufacture


To confirm the exact manufacturing plant for a specific Yaris Hybrid, check the vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) or consult the dealer. The VIN can indicate the country and plant responsible for the build, which can vary by model year and region.


Summary


The Toyota Yaris Hybrid is predominantly manufactured at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing France plant in Valenciennes, France, to serve European markets. While Valenciennes is the primary site, regional production and allocation can lead to variations in other regions. For precise details on a given vehicle, refer to the VIN or official Toyota documentation.
