The Toyota B platform is a front-wheel drive automobile platform (also adaptable to four-wheel drive) that has underpinned various Toyota models from the subcompact and compact categories. [1] The B platform improves on and replaces the NBC platform and sits below the MC platforms. [1] Automobiles based on the B chassis started production in the beginning of 2005 with the XP90 series Vitz/Yaris hatchback. [2] [3]
Introduced in 2013, the new EFC platform was based on a reengineered version of the B platform. Like its predecessor, this version was developed specifically for subcompact sedans and hatchbacks in emerging markets. The only vehicles built on this platform were the XP150 series Yaris, which shared numerous components with the B-platform-derived XP90 series. [6]
Starting in 2022, this platform was gradually replaced by a Daihatsu-developed DNGA-B platform. [7] [8]
