A new 2018 Toyota Yaris iA starts at just $15,950, and for that price you get a nice compact car with great fuel economy and seating for five. The Yaris iA also delivers a ton of tech to your fingertips, even on its base model. The interior outshines its price. The look inside is decidedly upscale, with quality materials, intuitively-arranged controls, and comfortable seating.

True to its Scion roots, the 2018 Toyota Yaris is sleek, athletic, reliable, and turns on a dime. It’s a joy to drive. The exterior of the 2018 Yaris iA is all sleek with stylish lines from its attractive, prominent grille all the way to its brake lights. While it won’t win any awards for speed, the Yaris iA has a quick and responsive transmission that nearly makes up for it. The handling is precise and the steering is accurate. JD Power gave the Yaris iA the best score in its class for reliability.

When you buy a 2018 Toyota Yaris iA, not only will you save at the dealership and the pump, but chances are your car will last you a long while. For even more peace of mind, it scored a perfect five stars in government crash testing.

The Toyota Yaris iA came about when Toyota reached out to Mazda to design their 2017 Toyota Yaris. Mazda agreed and used the subcompact Scion as a base. As a result of the manufacturers’ collaboration, the Yaris iA is more like the Scion than it is like its own Toyota predecessors.

So, what’s the difference between a Yaris and a Yaris iA? While the Yaris is a hatchback, the Yaris iA is a four-door sedan. Both are subcompact cars marketed to those who want an affordable, fuel-efficient car. Go for the Yaris if you want more cargo capacity. But the Yaris iA might be more your speed if you’d rather have passenger space.

Standard on a Yaris iA comes a low-speed forward collision warning system, rearview camera, push-button start, two USB ports, Bluetooth, six-speaker audio system, HD Radio, voice recognition, and 7-inch touch screen. The Entune infotainment system is intuitive and well-designed. Sport seats are optional.
