In 2007, the Toyota Yaris offered two primary transmission choices: a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic, with the exact option depending on trim level and regional market.
Overview of transmission options
The Yaris’ drivetrain for the 2007 model year was centered around a single engine family, paired with two gearbox choices that covered most configurations sold worldwide.
- Five-speed manual transmission (5MT)
- Four-speed automatic transmission (4AT)
These two options constituted the standard transmissions available for the 2007 Yaris in most markets. A CVT was not offered as a factory option for that model year in the common configurations.
Regional variations and notes
Availability of each transmission depended on the region and the specific trim level. In North America, you typically could choose between the 5MT and 4AT, while other markets followed a similar pattern with variations by model year and local specifications. If you’re evaluating a used 2007 Yaris, checking the vehicle’s documentation or VIN can confirm which gearbox it uses.
Maintenance considerations
Manual transmissions (5MT) require periodic clutch inspection and fluid changes, while automatics (4AT) need regular transmission fluid checks and services. For both, using the manufacturer-specified fluid and service intervals helps ensure longevity and smooth operation.
Summary
The 2007 Toyota Yaris was offered with two main transmissions: a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic, with the exact choice varying by trim and market. For buyers and owners, verifying the specific transmission on a given car is straightforward through documentation or a quick inspection.
