As a result, an entry level Yaris will see a price hike by $200 to $13,155, whereas a Lexus LS600h L will see a hike of $900 to $112,250.
Toyota has managed to bring production of its Prius hybrid models back online since the Earthquake and Tsunami on March 11, however, production at all other plants have been halted.
