This nameplate arrived for the 2017 model year when Toyota brought the former Scion iA into the Toyota lineup as the Yaris iA. It was positioned as an entry subcompact sedan with a sporty emphasis and was sold in the U.S. for the 2017 and 2018 model years before Toyota renamed it Yaris Sedan for 2019. Toyota’s own materials show 2017 and 2018 Yaris iA model-year coverage, and the 2019 announcement explicitly says the Yaris sedan was previously the Yaris iA.
