Toyota Yaris was launched in 2018 and with the discontinuation of the Etios, it's now the cheapest sedan in its company's portfolio

Toyota launched the Yaris in India in May 2018, and it has been a pretty dull performer in its segment because it was launched to rival against some well-established sedans like Maruti Ciaz, Hyundai Verna and Honda City. The car hasnot able to beat the sales of all these three top-sellers since its launch, but in January 2020 Toyota Yaris surpassed its person year-on-year growth sales by 111%. In January 2020, the Japanese carmaker was able to retail around 725 units of the car, which is 382 units more than the 343 cars sold in January 2019. One cannot deny the fact, that this is a huge improvement at this point of time, where the sub-compact SUVs are getting quite popular among the buyers, and executive sedans are losing their charm.
