Toyota Yaris 2024 is a subcompact car that is available in both sedan and hatchback body styles, though the availability of these body styles varies depending on the region. In Pakistan, for instance, only the sedan version of Yaris is available. The Yaris is also sold under different names in different regions, such as Vitz, Platz, Belta, Echo, and Vios. These models are imported to Pakistan, as they are not manufactured locally. Despite its different names, the Yaris has a reputation for reliability,  which is a common feature of Toyota vehicles.

The Yaris was first launched in 1999 and was codenamed XP10. This first-generation Yaris had sedan, hatchback, and coupe body styles available in many regions. In some regions, hatchback models were known as Vitz, while sedan and coupe models were known as Platz.

The coupe body style was no longer offered in this generation, and the sedan version (4-door) was often referred to as Belta in many regions. The hatchback version of this generation was also known as Vitz.

The third generation of Yaris, codenamed XP130, was manufactured from 2013 to 2020. In some regions, the third-generation Yaris was launched in 2011, with only the hatchback version introduced at that time. The sedan version was later introduced in 2013, even in regions that received the hatchback earlier.

The fourth-generation Yaris was launched in 2020 and is the current generation of Yaris. This model has not been launched in Pakistan yet, but the third-generation sedan, originally launched back in 2013, has recently been introduced in the country.
