- Transmission: CVT automatic
- Drivetrain: front wheel drive

Nice pov mate, 116ps seems a lot in a car of that size. Do you feel a big dffrnce when accelerating as compared to a "normal" yaris?

Oh, I live in Brussels and I am really familiar with these roads.
I am really thinking of buying new Yaris but some few issues 1- The price is quit high comparing to other brands of the same level. 2- The stability of this car especially at strong turns 3- The batteries price in case a fault

I think about that yaris ... I wonder if at a constant speed of 120-140 is not louder than the others in the B class? How to air noise at this speed?

So every time you get stuck in traffic, you can just put EV mode? This is an awesome way how to save gasoline👍 Will buy this version for sure. God job toyota.
P.s
Your driving was total relax to watch. Thanks for sharing🙂
