Toyota has now sold over 10 million units of the Yaris units globally.
The Japanese automotive brand confirmed via a press release that the milestone was achieved in the 25th year of the nameplate’s production, allowing the Toyota Yaris to join the Corolla, Camry, RAV4, HiLux, and Land Cruiser as the brand’s eight-figure sales achievers.
“Yaris has consistently been a pioneer, introducing new technologies and concepts to the compact car market for almost a quarter of a century,” Toyota wrote in a press statement.
Notable achievements earned by the Toyota Yaris include its Japan Car of the Year award and European Car of the Year award. To note, the Yaris is the first Toyota model to win the European Car of the Year title.
At launch, it was the only vehicle in its class with front-center airbags, intended to protect the heads of front-seat occupants, and a driver-assist system designed to detect and automatically brake to help avoid pedestrians and vehicles at intersections.
Toyota has also created various iterations of the Yaris nameplate including the widely acclaimed GR Yaris performance sports car and the high-riding Yaris Cross urban sport utility vehicle.
The Toyota Yaris is manufactured in various places around the world including Japan, Brazil, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand, France, and the Czech Republic.
