is it true that the yaris is built in france?

a friend just told me that i didn't know if its true or not

IllusionX · 08-12-2009, 12:51 PM

some yaris are built in france for the european market, and i think very few are built in thailand.

kac · 08-12-2009, 12:52 PM

designed in France is what I hear...

MadMax · 08-12-2009, 12:52 PM

It's true, the Yaris is built at Toyota's Valenciennes factory in France...not too far from where I used to live outside of Mons in Belgium.

Yarii are built in Japan, France and Thailand for different markets :-)

Bob Dog · 08-12-2009, 01:48 PM

Mine came with this most reasuring tag: 100% Japanese content. The car was designed by Toyota working with a studio in France that designed some of the best known Citreons working with the designer who designed the last Celica. They definitely make them in France but these have never been brought into the US. They make them Thailand as well, for the Asian market.

but the new 1.33, that built in france, has japan engine until to be ready the factory in uk . i think until september or october

*tomato* · 08-12-2009, 05:19 PM

I know the question has already been answered, but just wanted to add that they have many Yarii on the roads in France, only it's a slightly different model. I got some pics on my HD , will look later and post what I can find. I've been meaning to post these pictures in the forum for a while, anyway.

I don't know about those made for Europe but the sticker on my doorjamb says made in Japan.

BluYrs · 08-13-2009, 06:06 AM

It's down to the VIN-code. That's how I found out mine was actually made in Japan...

DOMAV · 08-13-2009, 06:17 AM

france. japan & thailand they are all basicly the same!!! some features which you find in one market and not in the other maybe but engine wise and suspension is still just the same IMO

Tamago · 08-13-2009, 09:32 AM

i wish we got the D-4D engine here :(

Kal-El · 08-13-2009, 10:19 AM

All American market Yaris's are built in Japan.

Yaris Hilton · 08-13-2009, 10:36 AM

By Kanto Auto Works, LTD., in their Iwate plant in Kanegasaki, Iwate Prefecture, Japan.

DOMAV · 08-13-2009, 11:29 AM

no diesel engines there?

Yaris Hilton · 08-13-2009, 11:34 AM

Not available in the U.S. I'd've bought one.

auxmike · 08-13-2009, 12:13 PM

Be cool if we also had the 1.0L here. I'd be in MPG heaven!

Yaris Hilton · 08-13-2009, 01:35 PM

Yeah, I'd be happy with the 1.0L gas burner.

I'm right happy with the 1.5, actually.

But I do love Diesels with all their quirks.
