Toyota B platform

Last updated

The B platform was replaced by TNGA-B platform. [4]

Applications

New EFC platform

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]
