Where is the Toyota Yaris made for the UK market?
The Toyota Yaris sold in the UK is produced at Toyota’s plant in Valenciennes, northern France, as part of Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (TMMF). The standard Yaris hatchback and the Yaris Hybrid supplied to the UK come from this European facility. A notable exception is the high-performance GR Yaris, which is assembled outside Europe—in Japan—for global distribution.
