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.
Pricing
Drivetrains and Efficiency
Toyota Australia axed petrol-only versions of the Yaris in 2024, leaving its smallest hatchback as a hybrid-only proposition.

Mercedes-Benz GLC EV: New mid-size SUV gets modern twist on brand's classic face
Mercedes-Benz is having another crack at the mid-size luxury electric SUV segment, with the GLC with EQ Technology teased ahead of its reveal next month. The battery-electric version of the German premium brand's best-seller will debut at the Munich motor show (aka IAA Mobility) on September 7, 2025. Mercedes-Benz has released a teaser image showing off its distinctive grille, and there are echoes of the grilles of classic models like the W126 S-Class – but with a catch. While the chrome-surrounded grille has three rows with dozens of small square segments, reminiscent of Benzes of yore, it's closed-off and features integrated contour lighting and a 'smoked-glass-effect lattice structure'. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Mercedes-Benz will also offer an illuminated version as an option, with 942 backlit dots and animation sequences. The central star and the integrated surrounding contour of the panel are also illuminated. The nod to the past is part of Mercedes-Benz's move away from the controversial design language employed on its Electric Vehicle Architecture-based EQE sedan, EQE SUV, EQS limousine and EQS SUV. Mercedes-Benz has already facelifted the EQS in Europe, giving it a more conventional grille, and has paused deliveries of the quartet in the crucial US market due to slow sales. The company has said it's moving to a 'coherent design language' across its portfolio, with its EVs to more closely resemble their combustion-powered counterparts even if they use different platforms – a strategy rival BMW already employs. As seen in spy photos and teasers, it appears to have a more rakish silhouette than the combustion-powered GLC, but is much more athletic-looking than the blobby EQE SUV. Mercedes-Benz is also ditching its EQ nameplates, which is why this new mid-size electric SUV is called the GLC with EQ Technology instead of the EQC. Inside, the electric GLC will feature an 'all-new, seamless' MBUX Hyperscreen that will see the vehicle's screens under one layer of glass. It's also the first model in a 'completely new family of vehicles' featuring a 'superbrain' that will power every new Mercedes-Benz. The electric GLC will debut the brand's new dedicated electric vehicle (EV) architecture, and rides a wheelbase 129mm longer than the combustion-powered GLC – so just over three metres. It'll be offered in single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive configurations with system outputs of up to 500kW. Batteries range from a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) unit that's likely to deliver a WLTP-rated range of just over 500km, to a 94.5kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery that boosts WLTP range to more than 800km. This battery's highly efficient silicon carbide anodes and the 800V electrical architecture also allow charge rates of up to 320kW, which mean it can be topped up to give 400km more range in as little as 15 minutes. A prototype we drove in Sweden earlier this year was reasonably close to what is likely to be the top-spec, non-AMG GLC 4Matic with EQ Technology. Its dual-motor powertrain had a system output of 360kW, a two-speed transmission, the 94.5kWh battery, air suspension, and rear-wheel steering.

Honda Australia looks to China, US for new vehicles
Honda Australia's new boss is using his ties in his former United States post as the company considers vehicles from all corners of the globe – including China – for its future lineup. Newly installed Honda Australia CEO Jay Joseph told CarExpert his nearly three decades of working for the brand in North America mean he's been able to exploit connections to the US supply chain. This includes the Honda 0 Series EVs, slated to be made at the automaker's 'EV Hub' in the US from 2026, which are on the cards for Australia. The US is Honda's biggest market by a considerable margin, with North America making up 60 per cent of its 1,361,779 global sales in the six months to June 2025. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Products in the US include the unibody Ridgeline ute, as well as the roughly Subaru Outback-sized (and also unibody) Passport SUV and the related Pilot, a Toyota Kluger competitor. Honda Australia also plans to add its first electric vehicle (EV) to its lineup in the second half of 2026, but it hasn't confirmed what it will be. In the US, it produces the electric Prologue SUV which uses a platform borrowed from General Motors. So far this year, it's actually outselling its Chevrolet-branded cousin, the Blazer EV. Prologue sales were up 83 per cent in July, compared with the same month last year. In China, Honda has joint ventures with Dongfeng and GAC. Under these, it produces a raft of vehicles including EVs under the Ye sub-brand such as the electric GT fastback, as well as the Honda e:Ny1 electric SUV that's exported to countries including the UK and New Zealand. While none of these are confirmed – and the current-generation Ridgeline all but ruled out – the Australian office is now looking beyond its typical Japanese and Thai-sourced vehicles courtesy of Mr Joseph's background. "I've been in contact with my former colleagues there quite a bit and it's something we're considering – we need to take a look at that. We need to look everywhere we can for products that are relevant to this market," he said."A lot of the tastes in the US are quite comparable and a good fit. "Australia is an interesting market because I would say it's more of a western market in terms of preferences and behaviors even though it's located here in Asia-Oceania." "And I think that suits it well to some products from other parts that maybe have been considered, but maybe I've got a chance to lobby for them a little bit stronger than in the past." Honda's manufacturing footprint in the US includes four main vehicle factories, with its Marysville, Ohio, plant being the oldest. It's been producing vehicles since 1982. It also has design and engineering centres as part of 18 major facilities across its US operations. "We can do full vehicle development in the United States comparable with GM (General Motors) and Ford – and I would say we're more capable than anybody else there," Mr Joseph told CarExpert. "This is all part of Honda becoming a global company and leveraging its management resources on a more global basis." The Ridgeline, Passport and Pilot have always been built exclusively in left-hand drive, but Honda Australia did source one vehicle from North America in the past. That was the Canadian-built MDX, a rebadged large SUV from Honda's premium Acura division, sold here from 2003 to 2006.
