The second generation Ractis was unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show as the Toyota Verso-S (Japanese: トヨタ・ヴァーソ・S, Toyota Vuāso S). The Ractis is produced at the Iwate plant by Kanto Auto Works. It is available in 1.3 L and 1.5 L engines with G, X and S grades in Japan. The introduction of the Verso-S marked the re-entry of Toyota into the European B-MPV segment.

When it hit the market, the Verso-S had the shortest overall length of any mini MPV in Europe. The Verso-S is available with a choice of two engines, a 1.3-litre petrol unit or a 1.4-litre D-4D turbo-diesel unit, both mated to a six-speed manual transmission.

The petrol derivative is also offered with an optional, Multidrive S CVT, which features a seven speed, sequential paddle shift mode. The petrol model delivers a combined fuel economy of 18.2 km/L (51 mpg_‑imp; 43 mpg_‑US) and CO₂ emissions of 127 g/km. The diesel model delivers 23.25 km/L (66 mpg_‑imp; 55 mpg_‑US) and 113 g/km respectively.

Toyota UK discontinued the Verso-S in 2013. On June 30, 2016, Toyota confirmed that the Ractis reached the end of production for Japanese, Hong Kong and Macau markets, but the Verso-S continued to be produced for European markets until 2017. Sales of the Ractis in Japan ended on August 31, 2016. It was succeeded by the Toyota Tank/Roomy.

The five-seater variant of the facelifted XP170 Sienta, the Funbase, which was released on September 11, 2018, is also considered as the successor of the Ractis.

Subaru Trezia

Subaru announced a rebadged OEM version of the Ractis for the Japanese market on November 29, 2010. Known as the Subaru Trezia (Japanese: スバル・トレジア, Subaru Torejia), the badge engineered model receives unique bumpers, grille, bonnet, front fenders, headlights, rear finisher and tail light lenses. The name "Trezia" derives from the English language word "treasure".

Engines available consisted of a 1.3-litre 1NR-FE and 1.5-litre 1NZ-FE, coupled with a CVT. Front-wheel drive is offered as the entry level layout for both engines, with all-wheel drive available as an upgrade on the 1.5-litre version. In January 2011, Subaru debuted an STI tuned "Trezia STI" at the Tokyo Auto Salon.

The Trezia is also sold in Europe in LHD form, but not in RHD markets such as the United Kingdom or Ireland.
