The Toyota Yaris Verso is a mini MPV produced by Toyota Motor Corporation. In Japan it was called the Fun Cargo. It was replaced in 2004 by the Ractis. Some Caribbean countries still have the Yaris Verso in production.

Most reviews in the UK, where the car has since been replaced by the Verso-S, have praised the space and the driving characteristics whilst passing adverse comment on the car's appearance.[1] The vehicle earned the nickname of "ice-cream van" in the UK for its boxy appearance and shape.[2][3]

It featured on the 'Cool Wall' section of BBC's Top Gear on 27 February 2011, where Jeremy Clarkson placed it in 'Seriously Uncool' section, along with several unflattering comments about their owners like "this is for people whose lives are completely empty"[citation needed]
