Facelifted 2015 Yaris Leaked - Page 7 - Toyota Yaris Forums

The CVT is good in concept. As a gearhead...its not for me.

Onwrdigo · 07-30-2014, 01:00 PM

One mentioned in the comments about 'why" this refresh when another is coming out in a year.

Turns out, just a few days ago, it has been reported on AutoBlog that "Scion" is ditching the xB in favor of bringing over the "Auris 5-door hatch to replace the xB. (It looks a lot like a Kia Forte 5-door).

"And" they said the New Mazda 2-based car coming over from Mexico is "not" going to be the new Yaris, but the replacement for the Scion xD.

I think this 2015 Yaris re-fresh will be with us for 2-3 years "maybe".

I kind of like it. I still dig the old 1.5L engine and that bullet proof 4-speed automatic that performs smoother, more reliable than all the six speed and CVT units out there that the competition has. I like simplicity. Simplicity does not break and when it does, it is easy to fix. I might just trade my '13 LE 5-door for a '15 LE or SE. I still do not like anything else out there as much as my Yaris. All those haters on it?....."stuff them" as they say in Australia.

Sure it may be built in France, but after driving a 35,000 mile old, hard driven rental, French-made 2014 Yaris the other day, I swear that thing was tighter than my 14,000 mile old identical, gently driven Japanese-made 2013 Yaris. It really felt like a more solid, tighter car.

well, it said "the xD will also allegedly bow out in favor of a new hatchback based on the Mazda2". the new yaris can still be based on the mazda 2. they would just have different sheet metal and a different interior.

This is music to my ears. I hope I like it when I sit in one (I imagine I will). If not, I'll probably get one of the remaining 2014s and buy Clazzio seat covers.

^^^^^Very true, but would Toyota bother bringing the 'Facelifted '15' to North America for just one model year ?

I'm glad the L won't have the 'Silver/Metallic interior trim'.

Hopefully some new colors will circulate into the US. Yellows, oranges, purples, lime greens....let's get creative already. The Yaris is supposed to be a fun urban commuter and an entry level car. Give it some personality already.

No Kidding! Green, Yellow, Orange...what is with the B O R I N G car colors the past freakin' decade?

Was searching online and found a bunch of 2015's through this site:

http://southeast.buyatoyota.com/yaris

They show a 2014 Red 3 Door Yaris L (like my 2013) & a 2015 White 3 Door Yaris LE - good view of the new front end. I love mine still, it's getting that 'Vintage Older Model' look to it ...

428CobraJet · 08-10-2014, 05:38 PM

No manual trans on their first boat.

What's a dealer fee?

The look and profile of those rear taillights (and bumper in general) is vastly improved in the newer 2015 model. The front headlights and bumper is also a big improvement in styling. I'm thinking that the 2015 Yaris will easily be the best looking car in its class, overall - and much nicer looking than the awful-styled and cheap-looking new Corolla.

I would imagine manuals will be few and far between...
Dealer fee, not sure what it includes, to me
it's always been perceived as a way for them to
charge more.

yougojay · 08-10-2014, 05:47 PM

I'll have to look for a rear view...I can see from these photos it is different...
Front end is growing on me...I'm happy (Very) with my 2013 L - especially the crank windows!

A dealer fee is theft. They claim it is to cover paperwork, but it really is not necessary. Same thing for the destination charge. Flat out theft.

Part of the appeal of possibly buying a 2007-2011 Yaris (instead of a 2015), for me, is that it will easier to find a manual transmission (and I can get crank windows with that). Plus, I do like the basic, curvy "bubble" styling of those years a lot also.

Agreed!

This 2015 grille work doesn't look as outrageous:

The bubble, egg shape as some say, looks great. I (sort of) like that body style better, yet we wanted to buy brand new, so the 2013's were out and that's what I got. Like the DASHBOARD layout much better, so that is a PLUS for me.
If I found a deal on an older 2 door Yaris no matter what transmission or color, I'd get it. Wouldn't mind having a 2nd one
