Inovev forecasts 250,000 new Toyota Yaris per year
- Toyota unveiled the fourth generation of the Yaris (B-segment sedan), after those of 1999, 2005 and 2011 (the model marketed from 2017 onwards being a restyling of the previous one).
- This new Yaris will be manufactured in France, as the previous ones, but it should be noted that France is not the only country to manufacture the Yaris, since this model is also manufactured in Japan, China, Brazil, India and Mexico (in a different form). But it is true that France remains the leading producer of Yaris: 248,541 units in 2018, out of a world total of 536,642 units, or 46% of total production. France, for example, provides the Yaris for all European countries, while the other producing countries provide this model for their own markets.
- The new Yaris is as long as the previous one (3.89m), but it is 5cm (1.75m) wider and 4cm (1.47m) lower.
- Its wheelbase increases by 5 cm. The new Yaris inaugurates the new TNGA-B platform, which is derived from the modular TNGA platform but is only used for B-segment models. This strategy is also that of Volkswagen with its MQB-A and MQB-B platforms, or Renault with its CMF-B and CMF-C/D platforms.
- The new Yaris will be available in 3-cylinder petrol 1.5 land 3-cylinder hybrid 1.5 l engine versions. Inovev expects a production volume of 250,000 Yaris IV per year at the Onnaing site. An SUV version of the Yaris is scheduled for the end of next year. It will also be manufactured at the Onnaing site.
