Toyota Yaris Review

Is this hybrid the new small car of choice?

The Toyota Yaris has gone hybrid only for 2021. In this CarGurus UK review Rebecca Jackson talks through what that means for fuel economy and performance, as well as evaluating how the Yaris fares for style, practicality and value compared with its rivals. Has Toyota finally made the Yaris into a product you can buy with your heart as well as your head?

I've just ordered one. Well it's at the garage and I'm taking delivery in 2 days. Its the same pec as this car but in dark grey. Mine also has a red stripe across the front and rear bumpers. Just to look at it's quite squat and rally orientated. I'm 6 ft and luckily the seats go low enough and he steering wheel is in a perfect position for me then. Very happy and the warranty, plus 0% interest deal made it really afforable. 👍

2:04 In most ofthe rest of Europe, the Yaris can also be bought with a 1, 0L or a 1, 5L petrol engine, the latter with both manual and automatic gearboxes.

Note that the ‘B’ mode in the transmission is there to select ‘engine braking’, not to select regenerative braking at all. When it’s in use, it is rather like using a low gear in a manual gearbox - say 3 out of 6, roughly, while rolling downhill. Normally only used on long descents down which the battery would become full, so one is back to friction braking. During your demo, it would not be used normally. (I’m used to the previous Yaris hybrid, so interesting to have a look at the new one).

I got 75.8 mpg from my Dynamic a couple of weeks ago. Super little car !!!

I love your reviews, and I'm going to check this Yaris. Thanks !

This car is probably going to be my next selection since its efficiency and good accessory. Good review.

It is indeed a good car, we are getting just under 66 MPG from ours here in the UK.
I understand it's not being sold in the US ? It's a little noisy at speed, but I can cope with that.
We have the "Design" model. The Sat-Nav needs a phone with Android 10 or greater, and a charging
cable may not work. You need a data cable.

Toyota hybrids does not have cvt automatic gearbox but they have hybrid drive train called ecvt, its a unique to Toyota and its closest thing to driving a pure electric car without gears.

You'll get over 55mpg, depending how you you drive it and the time of the year. You get more MPG in the warmer weather.
Android Auto is very good, giving you navigation with voice control, as well as other features. You do need a phone with
at least Android 9. Despite what many reviewers say, the CVT transmission is very good.
We've had our "design" for two years, and have been very happy with it.

I didn’t see any particular reference to what MPG was obtained during the test beyond the manufactures specification. Given this is a economy focused car, please could future reviews consider this point. Seasons Greetings.

Great video Rebecca. I really like the Yaris as well, it looks good and mature to drive too

[Firemanify]

Happy Christmas Rebecca, I look forward to more reviews in 2021

[Vatierville]

Love the look of this new generation, looks like it's got a sporty body kit 😍😎

[lizjeffries]

Just ordered mine in white. Got to wait until November before collecting it though

[andrzejlech]

Nice review. Done by nice and competent person :).

[stevemooney]

A note about SATNAV. If you have iphone connected and Google maps or similar enabled you can utilise the MAP button to select this, so can switch between Audio and MAP using the dedicated buttons. My wife has this car in Excel trim she gets great mpg already.

Great review! Very nice train of thought and well spoken!
