- 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. 👍
I love your reviews, and I'm going to check this Yaris. Thanks !
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).
Thank you for your precision because I forgot what it is for... I was to ask to my car seller.
It’s regen braking in the eCVT, I drove one for a day and when in electric, if you put it in ‘B’ and lift off, it regens a lot more than in drive, the battery charges up so much quicker
She is also correct, driving in B stresses the hybrid synergy drive system, it also activates the engine 25% more than in drive
@@aidan1585 B is for engine Braking not for regenerative, it wont regenerate faster, so no, all wrong.
@@RefractArt it does regen harder, i've driven one MULTIPLE times.. in electric if you are slowing down (without the brake pedal)/regen braking and you are in drive, there is moderate regen, but if you put it in 'B', you immediately feel the difference, from what I felt, it's about 30% stronger. It does actually stress the hybrid system, I've read it before by lots of different specialists, they recommend not to drive in B very often. If the engine is on, it will rev slightly higher for 'engine braking' which doesn't really work on a car with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT).
@@aidan1585 Go ahead and read the manual, unles you're saying the producer lies xD, i've read mine.
Great review! Very nice train of thought and well spoken!
Ten months ago we were very enthusiastic about the new Yaris Hybrid and planned to replace our then four and a half year old Yaris Hybid with the new one in the summer.
Until we found out that the new Yaris is not exactly a practical car.
Rebecca already shows that even for her (she is 1.64 m. tall), there is hardly enough space in the back seat. What she does not show is that the rear doors only open very limited. I would say a crack...
When I (1.83 m.) am behind the wheel and our daughter (1.86 m.) then squeezed herself in through that crack, she is poking in the front seat (and my back) with her knees. And there are two daughters that size...
Don't even think about installing a child seat through those doors and then we better not talk about getting the (struggling?) child into that seat...
Fortunately, we discovered the Honda Jazz. Compare the space in the back of the Yaris in this video (from 3:32) with what it looks like in the Jazz in this (also CarGurus) video th-cam.com/video/FwJwmD9Dksg/w-d-xo.html from 2 :10.
By the way, smart to have the review of the Yaris done by a not too tall person and that of the Jazz by a significantly taller person... 😉
The comparison of the reviews makes clear what we had already discovered: Of these two hybrids, the Jazz is suitable as a family car, the Yaris (unfortunately) not.
You can probably guess which car is the successor of our Yaris...
Correct! We have been driving satisfied in that spacious, comfortable (and economical) Jazz for more than 4 months now!
Great video Rebecca. I really like the Yaris as well, it looks good and mature to drive too
I got 75.8 mpg from my Dynamic a couple of weeks ago. Super little car !!!
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.
Happy Christmas Rebecca, I look forward to more reviews in 2021
Brilliant review
Awesome job !!
Nice review. Done by nice and competent person :).
Just picked up my new Yaris Dynamic on Tuesday and absolutely love it! My Yaris rocks! 💚
I’ve just ordered the Yaris in dynamic trim but won’t be here for at least 4 months!
I want one😁
I’ve ordered a Dynamic, can anyone advise if the JBL speakers are a worthy upgrade over the standard system?
@@andrewsmoughton2136 I tested between the normal version and the JBL one. In my opinion it is a worthy upgrade because you do get an amp with the JBL system which makes the difference in sound quality, meaning that distortions at high volume are non existent. But premium sound systems are not as well built like they were back in the days, so I advise you to not use it at it's max potential because you may end up in time with broken/blown/decentrede speakers. Also during winter time you may have to wait for the amp to warm up a little before you start listening to loud music. Hope this is helpful.
Is it noisy on high speed ,motorways?
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.
I'm getting between 60-70 mpg
Getting the gr sport version in December amazing looking car
This car is probably going to be my next selection since its efficiency and good accessory. Good review.
@0:19 theres mine and still happy with it, won't be changing anytime soon.
Nice review, Rebecca!
Just ordered mine in white. Got to wait until November before collecting it though
Agree with your verdict. Thanks for review. Owned one for a year. A near perfect supermini.
Love the look of this new generation, looks like it's got a sporty body kit 😍😎
Yup, wide bodykit comes as standard. ;)
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.
Sorry but the e-cvt is not unique to Toyota. I have an e-cvt in my Honda Jazz Crosstar
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.
Lovely review 🙌🏾
Just ordered my 2024 yaris I know its not 100% the same but can't wait to get it!
For the Android car play option you need at least Android 10 for it to work.
What fuel economy did you achieve?
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.
A year on, I’m considering going for one of these soon, to take over from a previous Yaris in that grade. It has an older built-in sat-nav system, but it appears that the manufacturers are washing their hands from kit like that. In effect, the built in display only works for map display etc if one has a smartphone switched on while driving.
engaging and fun - nice car, too
Like your reviews
Glad to hear it
THATS was highly interesting to me.
It is especially informative to see this fine car tested from a woman's view.
Thanks a lot for your good work.
Thumbs up and subscribed :-)
Like the car reviews. Considering the Yaris, but not the model where they forgot to paint the roof! 😆. Looks weird as a two-tone.
You are the best!!
it's 2021 and Canada still doesn't have the corolla hatchback hybrid yet... its so frustrating
We have them in Denmark, and I had one as a loaner when I had the annual service done to my current Yaris. I hope you get them soon in Canada, as they are just excellent cars. :)
@@HepauDK thanks
A very professional review.
Keep up the good work Rebecca ;) you light up my screen :p
It's efficient, sure, but it's 20k whereas an aygo is more like 13k, and also pretty efficient.
Here in ireland the gr yaris starts at about 50 thousand euro and it really should cost over here 32 thousand euro
40k in italy
32.900 en España
@@anatorres8004 wow lucky
Iv just ordered a Toyota Yaris they estimated delivery 11/7/22 I think I’m in for a longer wait
Looks far more appealing than the last one but normally new models are larger than the previous ones. Not so with this one, and I am concerned about the price.
Timing chain
That's a really lovely voice.
We were a strictly Toyota drivers (various Corollas and a Camry) until we shopped for a replacement for our last Corolla. The Yaris appealed to me wife but when it came time to order the saleswoman insisted that we had to take a CAD900 Toyota roadside assistance package even though we had a Canadia Automobile Association plan. We walked out and now drive VW and Honda.
150,000 klicks and going strongly. gets spring and winter lube/rim changes but no significant issues. and i drive it hard.
@StefanI've owned a Polo from new for almost 10 years, and aside from some minor issues fixed under warranty, almost nothing has gone wrong. The Polo scored well in the (UK) Warranty Direct reliability index too.
Another brilliant review Rebecca and this model looks very sporty indeed with excellent extras, shame about the price though £24K for the model most would like.....
Most frugile customer's will probably wait and get a 2nd hand 1 year old one for £15K 🤔⭐❤️🎄
Low spec Corolla money really then.
Think that’s my new favourite supermini it’s a gem of a car very impressed 🥳
I have always wondered how Rebecca would adapt if she moved to USA, Canada, France, Germany, etc. Would it change how she tests , evaluates, and reviews vehicles?
0:10 mine(Japan) with 170.000 km toyota reliability at its best!
A previous drive in that model (1.0L diesel) was the reason why I was very hesitant of buying a Yaris when I needed something to replace my 4-door Almera N15 back in 2011. The drive was terribly sluggish and the speedometer fealt like it sat right behind the number plate.
After a test drive in a used 1.3L from 2007, I fealt differently though. The 2. generation was just a lot more refined, and that little pregnant rollerskate really grew on me, and I still smile whenever I see one on the road. :) I had it for about 5 1/2 years before buying a 2016 model 1.33L. That one will be gone on thursday afternoon though, as I well be taking over my new hybrid, that I have waited more than 5 months for.
Reversing camera are mandatory since last year on every new built car in the UK. We should stop pointing them out as a plus. Would be like saying that the new yaris comes with ABS
It’s standard on the Fiat 500.
💐 Car of the year 2021: Toyota Yaris !!! 💐
While it looks an impressive car, Toyota not offering options like built in sat nav, heated seats & steering wheel for UK buyers is annoying when your paying that sort of £ for a small car - especially when there available to order as optional extras over in Europe.
Heated seats and steering wheel is standard on the higher spec trim levels in Denmark. So yes, very annoying.
Why comment on the rear seat space? 3:32 It is designed to have a certain amount of space, and that is it. If you want more buy a larger car.
Indeed. If you need space for adult persons in the rear on a regular basis, a super-mini isn't for you, no matter the make or model.
Seemingly a good car Good review
Prefer the new Honda Jazz, more mature, practical and comfortable. But there's room for both in the market.
This car looks badass af
I like the look of the new Yaris, but it's just a bit too long to fit on our tiny drive. Cars continue to get bigger....
This is an excellent car if you don't want high running costs. My car does about 26 mpg round town, doesn't bother me but a new house may put paid to that !
Seems to be a good car however, the prices are not attractive when comparing with the other options from this segment. Hope you can show us the GR!
Really like most things about this car exept the engine and transmission sadly. Really wish I could get a six speed manual and petrol only version.
You can get this... but from other European country ;)
The engine and the transmission are superior to anything out there in this class. Outstandingly smooth.
Also Mat Watson literally shook the side panels of the car
I’m gonna take my car
Too expensive for me
Sadly it’s the norm you wont get a car under 20k in the next 12-18 months
Why do they always get the top spec version to try? They know most sales are usually of the mid spec. Simply just because of 2 reasons. First they don't care about the viewers who can't afford the top spec. Second, Toyota don't want you to think about the inferior quality and lower spec you'll actually receive in your model.
Here in 2022, the mid range model is called the Design, not the dynamic.
Let's be honest, the little granny who buys this to 'see her out' will be pleased. And in 10yrs they'll make a great second hand buy, cos Toyota reliability
Think the little granny USED to buy them when the price was right. As they are now getting more expensive it may be outside the reach of little granny's pension...?
As for reliability these are french built for the UK market and Mat Watson has some problems with the Hybrid and GR versions. Time will tell.
@@melcanuck5951 I had a French built Yaris with 350,000 miles with normal maintenance, it's probably the most trust worthy B segment hatchback in terms of reliability for me🤷♂️
I am 23 and getting this car, I don’t think this is a granny car. It’s a great transition car towards the ev, and best city car, I live in Rome, pointless for me to buy a fancy more expensive car. Dudes my age who are loaded will still buy civic R, Alfa Romeo etc. just to flex.
@@karandras2854 I would love to get myself a Civic Type R FK8 lol
Pigeon poo, this Yaris does 0-62 in 9.7 seconds which is faster than the Rover 3.5 V8 P6, which could only manage 0-60 in 10 seconds. It wasn’t considered slow by the Met, who made extensive use of them. It could only achieve 18-19 mpg on a good day, hence the reserve fuel lever which was frequently pulled. Some Yaris drivers are reporting as much as 70 mpg. Perhaps they are the ‘grannies’ you allude too?
Mam I serdecznie pozdrawiam
Nice car as a whole, except that the style of its back is not to my taste.
I thought it was the Yaris gr when I clicked then it realised it was the standard car.
Nice That she war’s Leather Gloves to drive a dar
Did I hear right? 80mph in electric? Anyone who owns one manage this? Also what's the electric range?
I can confirm electric mode does kicks in till 73-74 for few seconds
Why the gloves Rebecca, it's not cold or snowing as we see 🤔😉
Woah woah no Manual???
Only on the GR.
@@Silver-st2zq it's annoying tho mainland Europe gets the standard Yaris with manual, non-hybrid variant with the M15A-FKS engine
@@ryadhasanahmed5443 Agree, Toyota have made the handling better on this Yaris but to feel any real benefit you have to get the GR as that's the only option with manual and non hybrid engine.
@@Silver-st2zq damm
@@joe80ss Only the Hybrid and GR available in UK, other regions get other engine and gear options as well, went for a new Clio instead and so far very good, bye bye Toyota after years with them.
Why go for this when you can have the new model Dacia sandero petrol and LPG and save near £10,000
Too dear by far and basic interiors
Because I don't want to drive around in a death trap made from recycled beer cans!
There are numerous reasons why they are so much cheaper....
@@HepauDK so sitting on he new Clio chassis is made from cheap beer cans 😂😂 thanks I needed a good laugh 👍🏻
Beacause the Dacia will be worth £50 in three years.
@@vrakula I’ll give you £50 and you can buy me one then
Are Toyota trying to dine out on GR hype?
No.
Good morning Rebecca cold 🥶 isn’t it..
Can someone please tell me why the “it’s only available as a hybrid” is a bad thing.
@@Silver-st2zq personally I enjoy an automatic box more, and I do drive my car almost daily since here in Finland we don’t have any lockdowns 🚙. But it is true that a smaller battery does discharge faster if not kept charged. I’ve had my Toyota hybrid for six years now with the original 12V battery and haven’t had any issues even through cold winters.
@@Silver-st2zq Not true, all cars have 12v auxiliary batteries - hybrid or not!
@@Silver-st2zq As per my previous post hybrid vehicles have 12 v batteries (aside from the hybrid battery pack) just like non hybrid cars. I think it is you who needs to do research! 😄
@@Silver-st2zq I think your confusing yourself LOL. Your original post here stated that a ' normal engine does not have a 12 v battery like a hybrid'. Wrong, It does, and will run down just like the 12 v battery in any car. Secondly, yes I am a Toyota fan when it comes to certain cars. I don't own one though and never have. As you pointed out in another post you made you must have been a Toyota fanboy since you quote - "had years with them".....
@@Silver-st2zq LOL If you read/watch reviews, today's Toyota's are good to drive actually and the hybrid set up allows them to be silent when running on electric so very quiet and refined. Enjoy your Renault Clio! 😄 👍
It looks pretty outside, but that dashboard design is fugly.
👍🙏🚘🇸🇪
A womens view. Refreshing!
Not a 2021, it's a 2020. Mk4 to be specific. Wish you'd stop with this clickbait titling, giving impression you're reviewing a new car from the future that hasn't been released yet: this is NOT America!
Same model year logic applies in majority of 1st world countries. It is a 2021 model year, but it's not a 2021 production model.
The Yaris is way too expensive. Overpriced.
Very basic interior shake rattle an cb roll. Over priced
Gladly you can get 1 litre petrol in my country for 16000€. Altough i would pay that 4000 extra for a hybrid.
Lots of covert negativity here..why are you wearing gloves & complaining about "scratchy plastics"?
Need lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️
I'm Single 😍😥
I wonder why
Probably because you're an annoying attention seeker
Auto only that's a bad idea and it's a CVT which are terrible ... Vw ford Renault and Peugeot will be breathing a sigh of relief ...
With five year guarantee
@@Shaggy70 even Renault has a five year warranty now .. not saying the Toyota is a bad car just the gearbox .. I had one as a hire car for a week .. it's awful 😟
Just a reminder this new cvt has nothing to do with the old one.
It's actually eCVT, and as someone who have actually tried it, it is MUCH better than the old belt-driven CVT's!
Lol..
Is this the small car of choice? - yes if you want to spend £24,000 on a car that's ugly, slow, cramped, and with a useless CVT transmission. Why on earth would you choose this over a Polo or Fiesta?
A second hand Toyota Corolla or a pre reg Renault Clio would get my money.
You do realise this uses Toyota's eCVT, not a belt-driven unit, it has a planetary gear set and can run at constant revs to maximise Fuel economy, AND it's far more reliable than a belt-driven CVT, people get mixed up sometimes
@Stefan £24,000 for a Yaris 😂 mind you the GR is not that much more and is at least worth buying.
@Stefan Just under £30,000 without the track pack, you would have to go second hand with the BMW M2 to get somewhere near the GR price but both look real good, reliability and replacement parts prices? the Toyota would probably get my money but only just.
Sorry for your pound prices, in Italy the lounge (second best suits) is 20000€ so about 19k pound.
Poor quality
As the owner of 2 different Yaris'es for 10 years, I can confidently say, that you have no clue what you are talking about!
