2020 Toyota Yaris Hatchback Interior Review (Beth + Matt)

Beth and I review the interior in the 2020 Toyota Yaris Hatchback which is new for 2020 and strangely is also getting discontinued at the end of this year. While it was short-lived, these "new" Yaris are based on the Mazda2 sold elsewhere in the world. As a result, this interior is a little nicer than some competitors in some areas, but in other areas, the Yaris falls short of its competitors. With an as-tested price of $18,705 for this LE model, even the much nicer Corolla is barely more expensive, putting the Yaris in a tough position. Nevertheless, if you're looking for reliable transportation in a tiny package, the Yaris is still a solid choice. What do you think of the 2020 Yaris? Thanks to Toyota for providing this vehicle.

Beth needs her own segment, give her a full report from the passenger side of let her do the backseat segment.

Very good review. I appreciated your added perspective on other competitors in the category plus the advantages of going used at this price point.

Petition for Toyota to bring the European Yaris to America

I prefer manual controls versus screen controls. Does this vehicle have a backup camera? How about a CD player? I have no desire to pay for Sirius radio. I don't miss using a center console to rest my arm on but I do miss the storage. The price is good. Thanks for giving the price up front.

Just replaced our 2017 Yaris with a Hyundai Venue Denim. Much better car. But can’t complain too much about the Yaris. With discounts and rebate, paid $14, 500 in 2017.

The yaris sedan offers an armrest for about $199. It might be available in the hatchback also. ...
Their interiors are pretty much the same.

hi Matt. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c I knew it was going to be good

[mannygsxr]

This model is definitely not trying to be America's cheapest car anymore. Looks good.

Back 2 Back Hatchback interior reviews, we already know which one that I prefer aka from the company that starts with H and not a T. I did take pictures of one of these at Mike Kelly Toyota of Uniontown, PA and I am glad that I didn't have to sit in the back seat of one. At least it has more room than a not so Smart car. Being 6'1" 250 lbs I would have to at least go up one segment level into the Corolla as you mentioned. I remember you mentioning that they may come out with a GR sporty version in one of your Friday Updates. Way to crank some of these out and sharing with us.

Now I am confused. Why does Toyota use a Mazda2 as a base for the Yaris here when they have a way more cool looking and newer model here in Europe? Inside and Outside this Version here looks 5-10 years older than the other Yaris over here. That`s strange ...

Thanks for another good review Beth and Matt.

RIP YARIS, it is been discontinued in US

[cyruspark]

Good luck with the used car market right now, it's off the rails.

[wrzl]

It’s not hard to see why the Yaris is the least popular car in this segment ( sedan or hatchback)

[erwinshariffharahap]

Toyota USA already stop and discontinue this model of Yaris (Mazda 2).. haven't you heard about discontinue news from Toyota USA...???

[MEAMERIE]

Almost $19, 000 for this? I think i'd rather go used.

[garrettw]

This is the last year of the Yaris sadly

[ricklp]

First supra now this? Is toyota getting lazy?

[chottozumi]

Return of Mazda2 for foreign markets! Ugly, but good thing! I hope Mazda didn't detune the
