1999 Toyota Yaris

The Japanese launch of the Vitz occurred on 13 January 1999, retailed through the Netz Stores, and European sales commenced two months later as the Toyota Yaris. In Australia the car was introduced on 8 October 1999 as the Echo, replacing the Starlet, and it won the Car of the Year Japan award. This was the first model year of the Toyota Yaris (first generation, XP10 and XP20), 1999 to 2005, the first generation covered for the Toyota Yaris; the 2000 model year follows it. Model year pages for the Toyota Yaris run from 1999 to 2022.
