First introduced in the country in April 2018, the Toyota Yaris sedan received quite a positive response from the customers at the beginnings. However, the C-segment sedan could not make it through the unfavourable conditions from the domestic auto industry and saw a massive dip in terms of sales in over the last few months. Notably, sales of the Yaris went down substantially in the last few months, with only 51 takers registered in July 2019.
