The Toyota Belta (Japanese: トヨタ・ベルタ, Hepburn: Toyota Beruta), referred to in North American and Australian markets as the Yaris and in Asian markets as the Vios, is a subcompact sedan manufactured by Toyota.
The successor to the Platz sedan, the Belta has increased in size over the previous generation such that its interior volume is comparable to the E120 series Corolla. The Belta went on sale in Japan on 28 November 2005 equipped with 1.0 to 1.3 L engines and was available at Toyopet Store dealerships.[9] Export sales began in 2006, with most markets receiving a 1.5 L 1NZ-FE engine as standard fitment.[10] The smaller 1.3 L 2NZ-FE engine was also offered in selected markets.
The Belta was sold as the second generation Vios in China and selected Southeast Asian countries. In the Americas, Middle East, South Africa and Australia, it was marketed as the Yaris sedan, replacing the Echo sedan.
In June 2012, the Japanese-market Belta was discontinued and replaced by the E160 series Corolla, and it was dropped in the US and Canada to be replaced by the Mazda2 sedan-based Yaris sedan/Scion iA in 2016. However, the Belta was still produced in Japan for export to Mexico and Australia until it was discontinued in both countries in 2016. For the Asian market, the XP150 series Vios replaced the XP90 model in 2013 as the sedan counterpart to the XP150 Yaris hatchback.
The "Belta" nameplate was revived in November 2021 for the rebadged Suzuki Ciaz sold in South Africa.[11]
The name "Belta" is a contraction of the Italian words "bella gente", or "beautiful people".[9][12]
