A four-wheel drive system named "4Trak" is available only with the 1.3 L K3-VE engine internationally. A Japanese domestic market turbocharged version was also available. All other versions are equipped with front-wheel drive system. There was also the F-Speed semi-automatic transmission version.[2]
A premium specification was available. This featured the naturally aspirated K3-VE engine, side skirts and five spoke alloy wheels. This version was the highest selling YRV specification of the three and as a result, is the most common in the UK.[3]
The YRV has an option for an electronically controlled 4-speed automatic transmission. The international YRV turbo comes with this transmission as standard equipment.
A four-wheel drive Japanese domestic market version was available at launch and up until discontinuation in 2005.
