The wraps have come off the new China-spec Toyota Yaris at the ongoing Auto Shanghai. Measuring 4.113 metres long, 1.7 metres wide and 1.440 metres tall, with a wheelbase of 2.55 metres, the hatchback is a smidgen shorter both in length and height than the third-gen Toyota Vios sedan on which it’s based.
This Toyota Yaris has been designed specifically for China, and so differs from the current iterations of Japan’s Vitz and Europe’s Yaris – although these two may receive an aesthetic update along the same lines in time, since they’re now approaching three and two years of age in their respective markets.
Besides the obvious bodystyle and roofline differences between the Yaris and Vios, the hatchback gains a ‘handlebar moustache’ on the front grille that can be colour-contrasted with the body, different-shaped headlamps and a bigger front bumper cutout for the fog lamps.
The Yaris’ bonnet shut lines are different from the Vios’ too, and check out those C-shaped tail lamps! Blacked-out pillars help to create the ‘floating roof’ effect, while the interior seems to remain status quo where the Vios is concerned, at least from the pictures we have.
Details and specifications are scarce at the moment, but Toyota says the China-market Yaris and Vios are slated to enter production by the end of this year.

Not to be racist or insulting but that silver lining down the side really looks like the moustache of a wise or high ranking medieval Chinese man. The overall design IMO, with the black-out c-pillar looks alright, not hopelessly ugly like the previous Yaris.
But the huge disadvantage of this car is that badge in that market place.
In China, they kill any Japanese things even Japanese breed dog which grown in China.
Chinaman from China cannot be trusted at all. They will eat the Japanese dog anytime. But I am shocked at my own company Toyota at how they carry the balls of the China people. The Yaris should be launched globally for everyone and not just the Chinaman. Anyway, let me remind all you people in Malaysia, Toyota got good RV!
Cannot anyone who eats snake and frogs.
The scar of 7 years under the Japanese rule is too damn hard to recover. It’s acceptable that most of them are angry, what worries me that there’s no sign of progress in inter-relation.
In Japan’s case is the government refusal to acknowledge their past brutality and deliver some form of formal apology or compensation.
In China’s case is that their citizen refusal to forget about it, kids below 10 yrs old are already brainwash to hate anything Nippon, A Chinese teen once say that if you buy Japanese products, the chances of Japanese tanks rolling down Beijing street is even higher[funny because Japanese Chi-Ha tanks were used by the PLA after WW2].
The green one looks like the Swamp Thing with the two pieces of stuff running down the side of the nose towards the mouth..

rear lights follow the pug 208 boomerang design
This is not bad!
Peugeot 208?
The China Yaris looks quite good actually, compare to worldwide Yaris. And don’t know why the Ah Beng Vios looks kinda sporty actually.
it is, as long as the owner didnt maintain the stock look
yeah, the china market version of the Yaris do look way better than the rest-of-the-world version Yaris.
I see 208 tail. Hopeless for Toyota designers
That looks like kung fu panda shifu.
Car with moustache…hahahaha
I like proton preve
at first glance I thought some China carmaker had made a bad copy of the Ford Focus. Oh Toyota…
OMG this fugly!
well the “mustache” look could be nice….. if only Toyota extends the two tone look for the rest of the car…. a little bit of highlighting the curves and lines of the car should make it sporty looking….IMO…
Toyota Misai lol
funny la toyota…but people still buy
I see focus/fiesta front and pug 208 back, what happened to you Toyota?
That silver lining.. Reminds me of Hulk Hogan’s moustache..
not bad leh the design although the moustache is a bit too prominent. the rear does look like the older toyota blade.
front design is so lancer look alike. pft
toyota yaris Justice Bao version…exclusively for china market!
The Yaris unveiled in China might also be sold in ASEAN. I read an article about a source from Toyota Motor Philippines saying that the Philippines will be getting the Yaris next year minus the silver colored “moustache” front trim. Perhaps it will be black like the one on some of the photos.
frankly speaking, brader T design is dated compare with kimchis competitors… harap kat RV jer larr…
What the..the rear light of the new Yaris looks like a Peugeot 208. Any collaboration between the two?
