Shame - 2020 would have been the perfect opportunity for Toyota to give the iA-Yaris a real cosmetic facelift/refresh with the addition of the Mazda2 hatchback to the Yaris line-up, & give both cars some extra buzz. The car has had the same overbearing fish-face grill styling since it was introduced in model year 2016 as the iA - and has been almost universally panned for its front styling. Does Toyota have their head buried in the sand that far?
Here is Toyota USA's first commercial for the 2020 Mazda2-Yaris hatchback. It really doesn't look that bad in the video - certainly better than the sedan version, due to its better profile/proportions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwyHKEblM7A&t=78s

Pathetic. I gave up on Toyota a couple of years ago.

Pretty disappointed in this new rebadge. I'm hoping my '12 will last me until something like the Renault Zoe is available in North America at a somewhat reasonable price

Call me crazy, but that updated/refreshed iA-carryover front snout actually works better on the hatchback version than it does on the sedan version of the Mazda2. Of course, this is coming from someone who thinks the snarky front styling on the 2015-2017 & 2018 version Yaris hatchback works for this size/shape boxy car.
My only real complaints on this Mazda2 hatchback Toyota rebadge are as follows: - Flawed-design straight direct-injection engine instead of multiport or multiport/direct-injection combo engine. (total deal-breaker for me personally) - No 4-wheel disc brakes trim option (SE/XSE). I really don't like/want drum brakes, even on cars in this size/weight class. - Can probably only expect somewhat above average Mazda reliability instead of the stellar/top-shelf reliability of the outgoing authentic Toyota Yaris hatchback. - No manual option on the hatchback, for those who may want it. Even on the sedan, it is only available in the lower trim levels. My likes on this new 2020 'Yaris' hatchback are as follows: - One of the few new cars available today with a traditional non-CVT automatic transmission. - Actually has a factory exhaust tip finisher (& decently concealed muffler). - Nice general hatchback shape/proportions (the sedan not so much - looks overly odd/narrow to me). The rear hatchback design also looks pretty good (unlike the polarizing Toyota Goldfish-faced front design). - Interior has a more modern/premium look to it than the outgoing authentic Toyota Yaris. R.I.P. 2018/2019 (& older) Yaris hatchbacks - My mission in 2020 or 2021 will be to find one of the few U.S. market 2018 SE hatchbacks out there (with low mileage) to purchase, even though it will undoubtedly take me out-of-state (again) to find the car that I want. The U.S. auto market sucks.

That is why I kept my 2008 HB and moved on to a 2019 Toyota Corola HB. I knew this is coming. Miss all my buddies back 2008. Microimage days..

Well, at least the front end design is consistent with the sedan version. Neither of which I would want though.
I'm still a fan of the 2008-2011 style the most. |

I'm still driving my 2004 RS. I was waiting to see what new changes there were for 2019 as they seem to update every 3 years, but I thing all they did was re-year leftover 2018's.
Owned 2 Mazdas early on and crap cars and dealership service was a rip off on my second Don't see a reason to pay Toyota price for a rebadged Mazda Might change my car this year, but still running fine. Hoping to buy a leftover original Toyota model, but going to hit them below the belt on the price as I assume they want to get rid of the old models to make way for the new. Got options if they don't Corolla is more than I want to spend. Corolla Hatch is more DON |

Hello all, I picked up a Toyo/Mazda Yaris/2 hatch last month. So far so good. I was a bit apprehensive to lean that the 2020 Yaris hatch was a Mazda but after learning that the Scion Ia/ Yaris Ias' were holding up ok as well as checking out some Mazda 2 reviews I took a chance on it. Like many of you, I'm not crazy about the nose but I do like the proportions of the car from the side. Also the interior is pretty nice and to me at least doesn't look econobox; not that I mind that. I loved the spartan interior of my 2008. At the end of the day, I have to hope that Toyota wouldn't badge something they didn't think was quality.

What color did you get? It would be great to see your car parked next to the old Mazda2 hatchback. That one had such a big smile face front end. Congrats on the new ride! |
