2025 Toyota Yaris price and specs

Toyota Yaris
has received some minor updates for 2025, focused largely on safety technology.
This has coincided with price increases of between $60 and $490.
All Yaris variants now feature a low-speed acoustic vehicle alert system to warn other road users of their presence when they are running in electric mode.

With its introduction to the base Ascent Sport, all Yaris variants now feature Toyota's parking support brake function, which applies the brakes if the system detects a crossing vehicle, object or pedestrian while you're reversing. Front and rear parking sensors are also standard across the range.
But not all the specification changes relate to safety technology. The mid-range SX, for example, upgrades from 15-inch alloy wheels to the same 16-inch alloys as seen on the flagship ZR.
Finally, all Yaris variants now use R1234yf refrigerant for their air-conditioning systems.
The Yaris is the slowest-selling vehicle in its VFACTS segment (mainstream light passenger cars), which is quite an anomaly for a Toyota. There are a couple of caveats, however.
Its VFACTS segment contains just four models – the others being the
Suzuki Swift
,
Mazda 2
and
MG 3
– with lower-volume vehicles like the
Skoda Fabia
and
Volkswagen Polo
sitting in a separate Light Cars over $30,000 segment.
To the end of April, Toyota has delivered 980 Yaris hatchbacks this year, including the high-performance three-door GR Yaris hot hatch.
The related
Yaris Cross
light SUV, which has
received a similar round of updates
, sells in much greater volumes. Toyota has delivered 3849 examples thus far this year.
Toyota Australia axed petrol-only versions of the Yaris in 2024, leaving its smallest hatchback as a hybrid-only proposition.
The Toyota Yaris is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.
Toyota offers capped-price servicing for the first five years or 75,000km, whichever comes first. Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, with each visit costing $250.
The Toyota Yaris has a five-star safety rating from ANCAP, based on testing conducted in 2020.
The following safety equipment is standard across the range:
The ZR gains:
There are three members of the Yaris range.
The base Ascent Sport comes standard with the following equipment:
The SX adds:
The ZR adds:
All grades feature a one-year complimentary Toyota Connected Services subscription, allowing you to view the vehicle's status and location via a smartphone app. Also included in this suite are SOS emergency call and automatic collision notification functions.
Glacier White is the standard exterior paint finish.
Premium paint is a $575 option, with two-tone paint treatments costing $775.
The following colours are available:
The last three are available with a black roof on the ZR.

2026 Nissan Patrol Nismo leaked
The 'Y63' Nissan Patrol has yet to go on sale in Australia, but the Nismo variant is close to being released in the Middle East. These photos seen here were published by user Nissan111Patrol on Instagram, and show the Patrol Nismo being unloaded in the United Arab Emirates. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The Nismo features a redesigned front fascia with a blacked out, full height grille that stretches from the bonnet down to the front splitter. Red trim is used on the grille frame, front splitter, side skirts, wing mirror caps, D-pillar garnish, and rear diffuser. On the inside, the centre of the front seats is clad in red leather, while the main section of the dashboard has been retrimmed with faux suede. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The V6T badge on the door indicates it will be powered by a twin-turbo 3.5-litre V6. In standard models this engine produces 317kW and 700Nm. If the previous generation 'Y62' Patrol Nismo is anything to go by, the new version should have a few more horses to its name. It's possible the Nismo could use the uprated 335kW version of the engine that's employed by the Infiniti QX80, the Patrol's twin-under-the-skin. The previous Petrol Nismo also featured unique alloy wheels, and retuned suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers for a sportier drive. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Supplied Credit: CarExpert Although the 'Y63' Patrol was unveiled in September 2024, it is currently only produced in left-hand drive for the crucial Middle East market, as well as North America, where it's sold as the Armada. Standard versions of the new Patrol (above) will land Down Under during the second half of 2026, with Australia gaining the honour of being the 'first right-hand drive market' to receive the new generation model.

Australian testing to play critical role in global BYD model development
Australia will play a vital role in the development of BYD models sold around the world, not just locally, says the Chinese automaker. Testing of models such as the BYD Shark 6 ute – which was extensively evaluated in Australia ahead of its local release in January 2025 – is designed to ensure local suitability, but models not sold here such as the Yangwang U8 large SUV from BYD's luxury brand have also been spied testing on Australian roads. Ford is the only automaker that still develops vehicles from the ground up in Australia, but several others including Kia and more recently GWM and Mitsubishi also conduct local chassis tuning in and for this market. However, Australian input was critical for the plug-in hybrid Shark 6 dual-cab – a competitor for the top-selling, locally designed and engineered Ford Ranger sold around the world – just as it has been for other rivals including the upcoming Kia Tasman, which was repeatedly seen testing here ahead of its mid-year release. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Yet BYD Australia product lead Sajid Hasan told CarExpert the local arm's evaluation and engineering signoffs will be used to finetune suspension and other settings for the automaker's global products. 'It's important that we do local confirmation testing, rough-road durability, hot weather, climate, tow testing – all those kinds of things are being done to make sure that the products are suitable for Australian customers,' Mr Hasan said. 'For models like that [Shark 6], particularly off-road focussed vehicles, we're in a fortunate position that in Australia, our roads represent 80 per cent of the world's variety of roads. 'So we are a very critical market for right-hand drive development, and the kind of tuning and testing that gets done here is used in other areas of the world.' The development of the Shark 6 included engineers from BYD's Chinese headquarters joining Australian testing teams, with a particular focus on suspension as part of a broader vehicle assessment program. Supplied Credit: CarExpert BYDs sold in Australia – including the upcoming Atto 2 small SUV and the brand's first seven-seat SUV, the Sealion 8 – will ride on locally tuned suspension instead of the 'soft' or more comfortable chassis tunes preferred by Chinese customers. BYD says the feedback will influence right-hand drive models sold in countries like Japan, the UK and Cyprus – where BYD was launched on May 28 – as well as playing a role in left-hand drive vehicle development, too. The popularity and variety of SUVs in Australia – where they accounted for more than half of all new vehicle sales in 2024 – makes local testing even more helpful for BYD HQ in China. 'It also gives us kind of an access, like a gateway, into the global development,' Mr Hasan told CarExpert. 'For certain models, like large SUVs and off-road focused SUVs, we're a very important market because of our market size and demand for that type of vehicle.' MORE: Everything BYD
