2019 Yaris Hatchback dead in the US? The internet says yes! - Page 6 - Toyota Yaris Forums

2008RedHatch · 01-17-2019, 12:52 AM

From Edmunds:

2019 Yaris

"Last year's [2018] Yaris iA has been renamed to just Yaris...Sedan body style only..."

But then they say "Last year's plain-old Yaris, no iA, was a four-door hatchback. For 2019, that car is now known as the Yaris Liftback, which we review separately."
But none are shown at dealers' websites. ???

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing. I did a quick google search for "2019 Yaris Liftback" and saw this old article from May 2018 (sorry if it was already posted):
https://www.carsdirect.com/2019/toyota/yaris
(says no more manual transmission!

An article on this dealer's site refers to a 2019 Liftback:
https://www.doxontoyota.com/op-2019-...ale-in-auburn/

This dealer also refers to the 2019 Liftback on their website:
https://www.toyotaofnewnan.com/

If I'm not mistaken, 'liftback' has always been what they referred to the hatchback as. I think I remember seeing it on my original dealer paperwork back in 2007. Same reason I called it that in my forum details here.

I've thought the same as well.

I believe you're right. I have just always called them hatchbacks, lol.

There's lots of leftover 18's

I wouldn't be surprised if the 2020 Yaris is revealed to be hybrid and plug-in hybrid only.

Sad story.

On a positive note, your links inspired me to create this Instagram story that I'm quite proud of, so there's that

Aww, bummer. My profile isn't private, but I guess you can only see static posts without logging in. Can't see the stories.

No pressure but Instagram is fun because pictures are fun. I have a personal account I follow photography accounts with and post my amateur garbage on, and a few months ago I started a second account just for the Yaris. I follow some really cool car accounts from that one. It already has nearly twice the followers my personal account does

You might consider creating an account. Or not, either way <3 lol.

i bet you're right! i can see them combining the prius c and yaris hatch into a 'smaller than the prius v' hybrid. i would LOVE to see them make an all-electric version of the classic yaris liftback(there's folks already who have done it themselves). considering the smallish size it shouldn't require a large battery-thus keeping costs down, but toyota seems stubborn to adopt to all-electric technology. i did see, however, they are entering a partnership with panasonic on batteries so that's a start

dogsridewith · 01-25-2019, 10:32 AM

toad: Do you have any links to all-electric conversions?

One prediction is the complete demise of "hybrids" and "plug-ins," with everything becoming 48 volt "mild hybrids" or pure "electrics."

toad · 01-25-2019, 03:32 PM

here's one i remember reading:

http://evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=1648

i've been lurking on the tesla forums lately and i'm starting to come around to the all-electric automobile. right now, i feel there's still too much beta testing going on, but if tesla can actually produce the $35,000 car they originally promised i may have to take a look. however, if toyota can get around to making a yaris electric i would certainly have to consider it!
