Where is the Toyota Yaris manufactured?
The Toyota Yaris is produced at several factories around the world, not at a single site. Production is spread across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, with regional plants serving local markets and varying by model year and variant.
Global production footprint
The following overview highlights the main production regions historically associated with the Yaris. Exact plant assignments can shift over time as Toyota adjusts to demand, regulations, and supply chains.
- France — Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (TMMF) in Valenciennes has long produced Yaris hatchbacks for the European market, including hybrid variants.
- Turkey — Toyota Otomotiv Sanayi in Sakarya assembles Yaris hatchbacks for Europe and nearby regions, supporting regional demand.
- Japan — Yaris (the Vitz name in Japan) has been built at domestic plants for the Japanese market and, in some cases, for export, with production allocations changing by generation.
- Thailand — Southeast Asian Yaris models are assembled in Thailand at local Toyota plants to serve regional markets, including variants sold under different local names.
- North America — Certain Yaris variants have been produced at regional plants to supply the North American market, with the exact facility varying by generation and year.
Regardless of the region, buyers should note that the specific plant for a given Yaris can depend on the model (hatchback, sedan, or crossover), the generation, and the manufacturing year. Toyota adjusts production footprints as market needs evolve.
Variant-specific production and verification
Because the Yaris nameplate covers several body styles and regional variants, the assembly location is not uniform across all examples. If you need the precise plant of a particular Yaris, check the vehicle’s VIN details and official documentation, or contact a Toyota dealer for confirmation tied to the exact model and year.
Summary
The Toyota Yaris is manufactured at multiple sites worldwide, with key European production in France and Turkey, and additional regional manufacturing in Asia and North America to serve local markets. Production assignments shift over time based on market demand, model year, and regional strategy. For a specific vehicle, the exact plant can be confirmed via official documentation or the VIN.
