STORY

The Platz was launched in Japan in August 1999 as a small, practical sedan related to the Vitz. Its XP10 body came with a 1.0-litre 1SZ-FE, a 1.3-litre 2NZ-FE or a 1.5-litre 1NZ-FE petrol four, with manual or automatic gearboxes, and four-wheel drive was offered on the 1.3. Overseas the car was sold as the Echo in North America, where a two-door body was also offered, and as the Yaris sedan in other markets. In China it was sold as the Xiali, and the Vela version ran until 2012. Toyota replaced the Platz in Japan with the Belta in November 2005.
