Toyota Yaris has been performing well in terms of sales. Monthly passenger car sales data by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) show that Toyota Yaris had the highest number of sales in the 1300cc and above cars category in September, 2020. Sales were higher than Toyota Corolla, Suzuki Swift and Honda cars (City and Civic).

A comparison between Toyota Yaris and Corolla show that for the past three months Toyota Yaris had more sales than Corolla.
