Where is Toyota Yaris made?
There isn’t a single manufacturing site for the Toyota Yaris. The car is produced at several plants worldwide, depending on the market and generation.
Global production footprint
The Yaris is assembled in multiple plants around the world to serve regional demand. The following are the most notable current production sites and the regions they primarily serve.
- France — Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (TMMF) in Valenciennes, producing the European Yaris hatchback for the EU market.
- Turkey — Toyota Otosan in Sakarya, building the Yaris hatchback and related variants for European and nearby markets.
- Thailand — AutoAlliance Thailand (AAIT/AAI) in Samutprakarn, assembling Yaris and Vios variants for Southeast Asia.
- Japan — Domestic-market Yaris variants are produced at Toyota’s Japanese plants for sale within Japan.
- China — FAW-Toyota joint venture produces the Yaris L for the Chinese market at local plants.
- India — Toyota Kirlaskar Motor’s Bengaluru/Bidadi facility produced Yaris for the Indian market (2013–2020 period; production has been paused since then).
- North America — The Yaris nameplate in North America has included a Mazda-built Yaris iA for some years; current availability and production depend on model line and regional strategy.
Note: The Yaris line comprises multiple variants (hatchback, sedan-like Vios, Yaris Cross, etc.), and production locations can shift with model cycles and regional strategy. Always check the vehicle’s VIN/window sticker for the exact country of origin.
Europe-focused variants
In Europe, the primary Yaris hatchback is produced at Valenciennes (France) and Sakarya (Turkey) to meet EU demand, with Yaris Cross variants often aligned with the same regional production footprint.
Asia-Pacific and China variants
For Asia-Pacific, Thailand’s AAIT facilities handle the Yaris/Vios lineup for Southeast Asia, while China produces the Yaris L locally via FAW-Toyota for the Chinese market. These regional variants are distinct from the European Yaris models.
What this means for buyers
Because production locations are tied to the model variant and market, a given Yaris may come from different factories depending on where it was purchased and which generation it belongs to. If origin matters—for example for resale traceability or tariff implications—check the car’s door jamb sticker or VIN to confirm the country of manufacture.
Summary
The Toyota Yaris is manufactured at multiple plants around the world rather than at a single site. Key production hubs include Valenciennes (France), Sakarya (Turkey), AutoAlliance Thailand (Thailand), and FAW-Toyota (China), with domestic-market variants produced in Japan and historical production in India. The exact manufacturing location varies by model, year, and region, so verify origin details for each individual vehicle.
