Production history

  • February 2020: New GA-B Yaris Hybrid E-Four launched with the earlier MXPH15 model code and Hybrid Z/G/X factory grades.
  • January 2024: Toyota introduced a revised Yaris range and the corresponding later AWD hybrid MXPH17 designation. Cabin equipment, Toyota Safety Sense and displays changed; factory U was also introduced for the KINTO subscription model.
  • 2025 and later: Equipment updates continued. Newer revisions are not necessarily fitted to older MXPH15 or early MXPH17 cars.

Useful information for Yaris Hybrid E-Four buyers

MXPH15 vs MXPH17

MXPH15 is the earlier 2020–2023 E-Four code. MXPH17 is the updated AWD hybrid from January 2024; it is not just a different trim badge.

Electric AWD

E-Four uses electric rear-wheel assistance, primarily improving traction on wet/slippery surfaces. It is not the same as a mechanical off-road 4WD system.

Choose grade by equipment

Higher grades may have better lamps, displays and seat comfort, while safety/parking equipment depends on model year and option packs.

Choose Z, G, X or U by equipment rather than powertrain. Confirm the January 2024+ build against SEV-000710.

Still AWD-only on this guide

This page covers E-Four hybrids only. Front-wheel-drive Yaris hybrids are a different pathway.

Recent auction sample is smaller

Early MXPH17 sold pools can be thin. Compare kilometres, grade and options carefully against the advertised selection window.
