2007 Toyota Yaris Trims and Specs

The Hatchback version of the sporty-looking subcompact 2007 Toyota Yaris increases cargo room while reducing passenger comfort slightly. Although it offers a few inches more headroom, front legroom decreases to just over 40 inches, and rear legroom drops to 34 inches. The cargo area holds 12.8 cubic feet, with split-folding rear seats that expand storage options. Employing an independent Macpherson strut front and torsion beam rear suspension, the 2007 Yaris Hatchback uses a 16-valve, 1.5-liter DOHC inline-four engine and a choice of 5-speed manual or automatic to put out 106 hp and 103 ft-lbs of torque at 4,200 RPM. Gas mileage averages 34/40 mpg.

Daytime running lights are standard only on the hatchback. They join the dual front airbags, front stabilizer bar, seatbelt pretensioners, child seat anchors, front disc and rear drum brakes, and 14-inch steel wheels with all-season tires. Options such as front-side and side curtain airbags, foglights, ABS brakes, 15-inch wheels, and a first aid kit cost extra. A radio and CD player are also optional.

Standard features are kept to a minimum and include air conditioning, intermittent wipers, a front power outlet, cloth seats, tilt and power steering, and a tachometer. Rear defrost costs extra. Power windows, locks, and mirrors are available add-ons, along with cruise control and remote entry. Optional alloy wheels and a rear spoiler spruce up the exterior.

The front-wheel drive sub-compact 2007 Toyota Yaris Base sedan keeps equipment to a minimum, but fuel efficiency to a maximum. The 16-valve, 1.5-liter DOHC I4 engine gets 34/40 mpg. Paired with a choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic, it puts out 106-hp and 103 ft-lbs of torque at 4200 RPM.

The tiny 2007 Yaris Base rides on 14-inch steel wheels with all-season tires. It gets only four stars in frontal impact tests and three in side impact. It comes equipped with front disc and rear drum brakes, but 4-wheel ABS is optional. Dual front airbags are standard, but you'll pay extra for side impact and side curtain bags. Seatbelt pretensioners and child seat anchors are included. Other optional safety features include larger 15-inch wheels and foglights.

The basics are free -- the 2007 Yaris Base features air conditioning, tilt and power steering, intermittent wipers, a tachometer, and cupholders. The Yaris Base doesn't even come with a radio, but you can add that, along with a CD/MP3 player. Other options add power windows, locks, and mirrors, remote entry, cruise control, a cargo net, and a rear wiper. An optional rear spoiler and alloy wheels dress up the exterior. The sedan seats four, with a surprising 35 inches of rear legroom and a 12.9 cubic foot trunk. A split-folding rear bench is optional.

A standard radio/CD player with MP3 playback and larger 15-inch steel wheels are the major upgrades for the 2007 Toyota Yaris S trim. This front-wheel-drive sedan trim also adds a standard rear defrost and a split-folding rear bench. Otherwise, the features stay pretty simple: air-conditioning, tilt and power steering, a front power outlet, front cupholders, intermittent wipers, and a tachometer. Under the hood is a 106-hp, 1.5-liter DOHC inline-four engine. It comes paired with either a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic, with an impressive fuel economy rating of 34/40 mpg.

The subcompact 2007 Yaris S seats four, with 41 inches of front legroom and 35 in the back. The trunk holds 12.9 cubic feet of cargo and can be outfitted with a cargo net. The Yaris S achieves only three- and four-star crash ratings, perhaps due to its minimal safety features. It rides on a Macpherson strut front and torsion beam rear suspension, supported by all-season tires. Dual front airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, and front disc and rear drum brakes are also standard. Front-side and side curtain airbags for both rows and 4-wheel ABS are optional, along with foglights and a first aid kit. Other options include power windows, locks, and mirrors, cruise control, alloy wheels, and a rear spoiler.
