2020 Toyota Yaris: The Perfect Subcompact for Phoenix?
Some new Toyota models get all the love when people visit Bell Road Toyota. The Toyota RAV4 offers space and versatility, the Toyota Camry has grown into a sharp-looking and fun-driving car, and the Toyota Yaris charms with its compact size that belies a bigger feature set than you’d expect. Small and efficient, it’s a great car for first-time drivers, empty nesters, and a lot of other folks who call Phoenix home.
2020 Toyota Yaris Details
The 2020 Toyota Yaris arrives largely unchanged (with one exception that we’ll discuss further below). While the powerplant is tiny, so is the car it’s propelling, so it doesn’t feel underpowered. It also returns great fuel economy — up to 40 miles per gallon when equipped with an automatic transmission, which puts it in the same league as some hybrids, though it should be noted that the manual transmission is still good for up to 39 city MPG.
There are three trims on offer, each of which offers power windows and locks, a six-way driver’s seat, USB ports, and push-button start. The XLE trim makes the automatic transmission standard, and also includes amenities like automatic LED headlights, automatic climate control, and leatherette upholstery.
2020 Toyota Yaris Safety and Special Features
Safety features on the 2020 Toyota Yaris will put your mind at ease. There’s dynamic stability control, a low-speed pre-collision system, brake override assist, and more (your Toyota dealer will guide you through the finer points). And while ToyotaCare isn’t technically a safety feature, a well-maintained car is certainly a safer one.
The amenities don’t stop there. You’re also treated to the Entune infotainment system with a seven-inch touch display, which comes with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for the first time this year. Navigation is also an add-on option, especially useful if you’re new to the Phoenix area (or just find your sense of direction a bit shaky from time to time).

Whether you’re shopping for your first car, or you need something smaller as you enter your golden years, the 2020 Toyota Yaris has a lot to offer. Stop by your Phoenix Toyota dealership for a test drive to see for yourself!
