Safety rating
American crash test (NHTSA)
NHTSA safety rating: YARIS
NHTSA scores the YARIS from model year 2020 at 5 out of 5 stars (front 5/5, side 5/5, rollover 4/5). This is an American test. It follows the NHTSA protocol and is not a worldwide safety score. Other countries test differently, for example Euro NCAP, and can reach another rating.
Insurance loss
Compared with the US average. Not a chance of defects
IIHS/HLDI loss index: Yaris
According to IIHS/HLDI, the "all coverages combined" loss index for Yaris is 131. Basis 100 is the US national average for all passenger cars under this coverage. Note: this is an index figure or rating class, an insurance statistic about the whole model. It is not a chance of defects and not a prediction for this car.

This table shows, per age, how many cars of this model fail inspection, by country. An index of 100 is that country's average for that age.
| Age | Netherlands | United Kingdom | Czechia | Ireland | NO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-2 years | Too few inspections | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 3-5 years | 21.4% failed (3100 of 14471) | 10.8% failed (7270 of 67379) | 2.6% failed (32 of 1239) | 13.8% failed (480 of 3476) | 16.4% failed (252 of 1537) |
| 6-8 years | 32.3% failed (5550 of 17206) | 17.4% failed (14016 of 80592) | 2.6% failed (86 of 3324) | 20.1% failed (1185 of 5899) | 29% failed (1893 of 6534) |
Czechia only counts serious defects, severity B or C. The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Norway count every inspection with a real defect.
Finland is not in this table. Finland counts defect points, not cars with a defect.
