The Toyota Yaris is a small car made by the Japanese company Toyota. It has been sold around the world since 1999. In some places, it is known by other names like the Toyota Belta, Toyota Vios, or Toyota Vitz.

The Yaris comes in different shapes. You can find it as a 3-door or 5-door hatchback (a car with a back door that swings up, including the rear window). It also comes as a 4-door sedan (a car with a separate trunk at the back).

The Yaris has gone through several updates, called "generations." The first generation was sometimes called the Toyota Echo. A cool feature of these early models was a digital display in the middle of the dashboard instead of traditional dials. The second generation came out in 2005, and the third generation started selling in 2011. A fourth generation of the Yaris was shown in late 2019 and began to be sold in early 2020.
