^^^ Yes. It's not a big car. I actually like the styling very much; nice flowing lines that make sense, and nothing too edgy or radical.

I compared my 2 cars:

2014 Toyota Yaris (LE) / 2017 Buick Encore (Preferred edition)

Curb weight: 2315 / 3237

Length: 153.5 / 168.4

Height: 59.4 / 65.3

Wheel Base: 98.8 / 100.6

Width: 66.7 / 69.9

Ground
Clearance: 5.5 / 6.2

Cargo
Capacity: 15.6 / 18.8

Turning
Circle: 30.8 (SE 36.7) / 36.7

Somewhat of an optical illusion, as smartphone cameras tend to distort/stretch towards the edges I've noticed. Your Yaris looks noticeably wider than the Encore, even though it's 3 inches narrower.

Indeed. The Yaris looks so wide in that photo!
