In Europe it's just Yaris - they share the same name for hybrid and non-hybrid drive trains.
I wonder why Toyota decided to give them different names (which all sound equally global) in different regions, seems really confusing. As far as I know Toyota, all other cars Toyota sells have the same name worldwide.
