2018 Toyota Yaris iA Overview

Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

After the Scion line was eventually discontinued, Toyota brought over many of the remaining Scion models and converted them into vehicles bearing the Toyota name. One of the most popular of these cars was the Toyota Yaris iA.

Toyota hopes to see the success of the subcompact car continue this year with the 2018 Toyota Yaris iA. Evidently, Toyota isn’t changing much of anything when it comes to the Yaris iA, with the automaker adopting the advice of the famous idiom: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
