Toyota is yet to officially announce the powertrain specifications of the new-gen Yaris.

Toyota Thailand has released a new teaser video of the new Yaris sedan for the international market. The car's global premiere is scheduled to take place on August 9, 2022.

The new-generation Toyota Yaris - codenamed 'D92A', will be underpinned by an updated version of the brand's DNGA (Daihatsu New-Generation Architecture) platform, which is said to be lighter, more rigid and also offer improved safety compared to the outgoing version.

As seen from the latest teaser video, the new-gen Yaris is expected to come with a significantly reworked exterior. This includes a large radiator grille at the front, flanked by a set of newly-designed LED headlamps, sporty front and rear bumpers, reworked rear with sleek LED tail lights and dual-tone machine-cut alloy wheels.

The interior of the sedan is also expected to get significant updates, including a large floating touchscreen infotainment system, a new steering wheel, premium upholstery and connected car features.

The outgoing Yaris sedan was sold in India as well. However, it was discontinued due to low sales. It is unclear if Toyota will bring the new-gen Yaris back to the Indian market.
