The successor to the discontinued Platz sedan, the Belta has increased in size over the previous generation such that its interior volume is comparable to the E120 series Corolla. The Belta went on sale in Japan on 28 November 2005 equipped with 1.0 to 1.3 L engines and was available at Toyota dealership Toyopet Store.^[4] Export sales began in 2006, with most markets receiving a 1.5 L 1NZ-FE engine as standard fitment.^[5]

The Belta is sold as the second generation Vios in China, Taiwan and selected Southeast Asian countries. In the United States, Canada, Middle East and Australia, it is marketed as the Yaris Sedan, replacing the Echo sedan that was built in Japan.

The name "Belta" is a contraction of the Italian words "bella gente", or "beautiful people".^[4][6]
