Updated Yaris sedan coming soon?

Do you know when or if a new Toyota Yaris sedan might appear, as Toyota dealers don't seem to know? Unfortunately the light sedan is an unloved class these days and the replacement SUVs can't fit four people and their luggage. I am also suspicious that their large frontal area will mean a poor drag coefficient and their big wheels a high rolling resistance leading to poor economy compared with a light sedan. I am looking for a shrunk version of the new Corolla, as it is getting too big. I have a 2008 Yaris manual sedan which I have driven on many long trips and found to be super reliable and economical but, in the current world, now extremely dated.

The Yaris sedan is not likely to get a hatch-style update this year, just as the Corolla sedan lagged more than a year behind the hatch. Officially, Toyota spokesman Steve Coughlan replies: "We have no announcement to make. The Yaris sedan is currently available and remains available".
