2018 Yaris SE and Yaris LE at a park.As a fun and practical vehicle, the 2018 Toyota Yaris stands out in the competitive compact car market. For over a decade, the Yaris has provided drivers with unequivocal efficiency, features, and other amenities that make it a surefire winner. And, with five available trims, you can pick the one that suits you to a T. If you’re still up in arms about which Yaris to buy, here’s a look at which models have the features you want.

3-Door L

For an entry-level vehicle, you can’t get much better than the 2018 Toyota Yaris 3-Door L. A reliable workhorse, the 3-Door L doesn’t do anything extraordinary, but it’s an excellent car to get you where you need to go. Under the hood, the L gets a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that pairs with a five-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to drive the front wheel.

This gives it a little kick with 106 horsepower, but the 36 mpg on the highway and 30 mpg in the city is one of the foremost reasons the Yaris L should make its way on to your shortlist.

3-Door LE

Take everything you love about the Yaris 3-Door L, add some amazing features, and voila: You get the 3-Door LE. Built as a compact coupe, the Yaris 3-Door LE offers extras such as 15-inch alloy wheels, power outside mirrors, cruise control, and remote keyless entry. For a vehicle of its size, it has offerings you just won’t find with any of its competitors.

5-Door L

If you want more room, the Yaris 5-Door L is the answer. With extended room in the rear, this model holds five passengers far more comfortably than its three-door siblings. With 15.6 cubic feet of space behind the rear seat, the Yaris also has enough space to fit all of your stuff, even if you have a packed house.

5-Door LE

The Yaris 3-Door LE is a fine compact car. However, if you want to get more interior space without giving up the features you love, opt for the 5-Door LE. It has everything the 3-Door LE has, yet it also tacks on some chrome accents for enhanced aesthetics, an engine immobilizer, and rear child-safety locks. For growing families or those who love to entertain, the added room and amenities are well worth the added expenditure.

5-Door SE

For the utmost luxury, there’s no better choice than the Yaris 5-Door SE. This fully loaded variant of the Yaris has every option you could want and then some. The differences start on the outside with the addition of LED lighting, fog lights, a rear spoiler, and 16-inch alloy wheels. Other features include navigation along with a leather-trimmed sport steering wheel with mounted audio controls. There’s just no other vehicle like it on the market.

The best part about buying any of these trims is that you really can’t go wrong. Each one offers a diverse array of features, and when you add it all up, no other compact can match the awesomeness of the 2018 Toyota Yaris.
