Until now Toyota IST have two generation
IST 1st Generation Engine and Fuel Economy
(XP60; 2002)
Based on the first generation Toyota Vitz hatchback, the first generation Ist also shared a platform with the Platz sedan.
The model codes are NCP60 (1300, 2NZ, FWD), NCP61 (1500, 1NZ, FWD), NCP65 (1500, 1NZ, 4WD).
The Ist was developed from the Vitz supermini in a crossover SUV bodystyle offering the flexibility of larger SUVs, but with the advantage of better fuel economy from a smaller vehicle. It first appeared at the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show, and was placed into production in 2002.
The ist is meant to cater to younger drivers, being sold as a Scion in North America and as the xA in the Middle East. The Ist interior features a unique interior with an easy to read central instrumental cluster position similar to the Vitz, Platz and Vios. At its introduction, 42,000 orders were received in Japan.
Its primary competitor is the Honda Fit and the Nissan March. The first-generation car was used by the Shizuoka Prefectural Police as a police car..Credit to Wikipedia
Toyota IST 2nd Generation (XP110; 2007)
The second generation Ist is similar to the five-door Toyota Yaris/Vitz; however, unlike the Vitz, the instrument gauges are now shifted in front of the driver as opposed to the middle of the dashboard previously.
This new Ist, like its predecessor, is sold as a Scion in the US. But instead of being the new xA, it is called the xD. The only real difference between the Ist and xD is a revised front fascia.
In Europe and Latin America, it is sold as the Urban Cruiser with slightly different front panels.
In Japan, the Ist is sold in 2 grades namely 150G and 150X and equipped with Super CVT-i for the 1NZ-FE option. One appealing offer for the 1NZ equipped model is the choice of AWD, which was not carried over to the US for the xD.[Furthermore, a center console is offered on Japan's Ist, but not the US' xD. The 180G with the 2ZR-FE engine option was also offered until August 2010.
Starting with production model year 2007 in Japan, G-BOOK, a subscription telematics service, is offered as an option.
The former Kanto Auto Works produced the Ist from January 2010.
Production of the Ist ended in March 2016. Sales of the Ist were discontinued in Japan on 29 April 2016. It is replaced by the Yaris Cross in 2020.Credit Wikipedia
