Used 2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The Toyota Yaris sedan is available in three trim levels: L, LE and XLE. All come with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine (106 horsepower, 103 lb-ft of torque). A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and a six-speed automatic is optional (standard on the XLE).

The entry-level L comes with 15-inch steel wheels, forward collision warning, low-speed automatic emergency braking, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, two USB ports, and a six-speaker sound system. Stepping up to the LE gets you 16-inch alloy wheels, foglights, a rear spoiler, heated outside mirrors, LED turn signals, and keyless ignition and entry.

The XLE loses the option of the manual transmission but gains automatic LED headlights, automatic wipers, automatic climate control, simulated leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and two drive settings (Normal and Sport).

Which Yaris trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Yaris comes well appointed from the get-go, so we recommend sticking with the base L trim. The LE and the XLE add a number of convenience features, but none of the additions are what we would consider must-have options. The Yaris is surprisingly entertaining to drive in any trim, so we suggest going with the six-speed manual transmission, though the six-speed automatic is fine for most drivers.
