If Safety is a main norm for the buyer, then this car highly recommended. 7 airbags(in all variants) and front parking sensor is a good initiative. Hope this will get 5 star rating in NCAP and hats off to Toyota for not compromising on safety.
If I'm in a car, the first thing i want is - silence and smoothness followed by safety, great music, greater Air cooling and lastly the mileage. Yaris incredibly ticks all the boxes.
Big fan of yours, Kartikeya! Others only talk about the usual stuff, ride, handling bla bla and that’s it, give their verdict. But you get into the finest, minutest details of anything you review which lets us know what that product has to offer over the competition, where it lacks, which can be so important and be a deal maker or breaker when it comes to buying decision. Nobody comes close to being so comprehensive!
best reviewer...although its definitely not a buy over city for me, watched whole video to just see him talk all precise n crisp tech in the car... subscribed.
Best part of vedio ... Hey Tushar one sec what's been happening man ... Nothing much karthik .. its really great to see you its fun to be on drive -{×××××××××××}.... It's really quite amazing isn't it.. {××××××××××××}.... 😂😂
Yes this time for Yaris best video in town. You tried to justify Toyota.. Except peppiness everything u need in a car is here. Yes we Indians are obsessed with peppy engines of Honda & Hyundai. That is why VW did not work at first place. Secondly just imagine India is so obsessed that VX variant with 2 airbags, no BA, proper disc brakes. Give this car to a teen and he is dead. Bakwaas H. City. Sitting in back sit if Honda City is nightmare.
Any advice on buying 33k km driven 2018 yaris g manual in 2023? It's literally the best I can find now. Presently driving 1.6L ford fiesta classic 2012. Love sedans.
Excellent review as always KS! You are right - tyres could've been 16". These are so tiny. Premium prices to the City with that on offer, good luck Toyota. Should a car command a higher price just for the feature list? I think they've missed the bus with the rear seating barring the smooth suspension as you described and quiet cabin. 2 features most sedans miss but not a steal for everyone.
Finally it launched, it took many years but it came at last. I'd go Toyota any day cause I'm a guy that keeps cars forever that made me a die hard Toyota fan. Yaris's arm rest is the most annoying part, boot size 475 liters is just ok gets the job done , but the pros like cruise control which I need, 7 airbags which is awesome, I'll buy the Yaris not only because I'm a fanboy but also the long term reliability. I personally never used android auto or Apple car play so I don't really care but may ppl do.
Honda City is winner still.. Sunroof and Moonroof 16 inches Diamond cut alloy wheels 3 Hdmi ports Better infotainment system and Sound System Touch AC control better All Led Lights in car Better leg room 510litres boot space Premium build quality 3 Adults comfortable seating in rear 3 angle reverse camera Better Engine Performance Yaris has 1 extra airbag Electric operated seats 475 litres boot space Air cooled glove box Hill start assist Vehicle Sound Insulation Tyre pressure monitoring 15 inches metal cut alloy wheels 2 adults and 1 kud comfortable seating at rear Heat dissipation Windows Yaris is overhyped car city is king
Vinod singh yes brother 7 air bags from the base variant is excellent but air vooled gloove box os just a gimmic because it doesn't help you a lot as shown..watch askcarguru video of most overhyped feature
Hey! Why did you stop captioning your videos? That made your reviews unique and different from other channels. My friend, who is deaf, really likes your video reviews. But removing the captions has disappointed her very much. Could you bring it again? Thank you very much.
Sudhendu Kumar Surya hey Sudhendhu! We will start to do that again. Your comment earlier rings in our head. Please bear with us for a bit. And please could you tell your friend - thank you! And thank you too for letting us know. 🙏🏽
Whoops!!! You added an extra "h" in my name. Haha. That's okay. It's quite an arcane nomenclature for a name. And yup, I told her your thank you note. She is excited. We both are auto freaks and often enter into an argument. I even downloaded some of your reviews. Is that a crime? Well, i try to have an edge over her.. Haha. But thank you again for your consideration :)) . Oh well, did i tell you how amazing and nicely shot your videos are?
Sudhendu Kumar Surya my bad Sudhendu! Haha all is fair. Once again, please bear with us a bit. Will pass on your message to our Cameraperson and Video Editors. They are super. Thank you!
Thank you once again for your consideration :)) Well, I actually meant that not only the videos are nicely shot but they are very interestingly reviewed as well. It's captivating till the end. You could also take some of the credit. Haha... Kudos to your team :))
I would be disappointed if Toyota prices it slightly premium than City. Though it seems a quality product , its not easy to get room where City, Verna and Ciaz are already established.
THE GADGET EXPERT SHOW That would be great pricing if Toyota wants to make some space for Yaris. I think the VX variant would be 1.5-2 lakh more expensive as it gets only CVT , no manual option and also equipped with first of its segment feature such as VSC,TPMS ,Hill assist, front parking sensors.
Great review.. especially starting with cons is a good statergy.. I love the way Karthikeya presents... I am damn sure the lesser varients are the deal as safety is top notch in all...
as always awesome review from Karthik, but for a not so awesome car :( . Karthik- what would you suggest ? Vento /city/Verna for daily drives to office under 10 km(one side) in city and occasional long drives. i had a global fiesta so i would need something similar :)
Thanks for the insight of yaris... I am 5'11''. I prefer to push back the driver seat all the way back so that my left leg is relaxed and fully stretched while driving automatic ... could you please tell me if driver seat is pushed back all the way , then 1) back seat passenger will have good leg room , 2 ) driver legs will be fully stretched.... you are the correct person to tell as you are 6'.... appreciate your answer...
Everybody writes, but only a few writes perfectly! Zigwheels just did the same. Their review is perfect & dare to share and speak of things that other channels speak not of ;)
Very informative detailed video..piece of ur advise.. Which one you would recommend between.. Verna sx auto vs yaris vx cvt.. Overall and by driving experience.. I now drive a polo 1.6 and grand I 10..and now looking for sedan
Raghu Reddy I just made my opinion here thats it and i have the freedom to do so , but if you dont know how to behave with a person in public comment it is not your fault but your parents were careless about you , who are you to call me idiot grow up buddy ?
If the Maintenance is similar to the Etios I think its a good buy. But Yeah!! They need to upgrade to market offerings to be a best seller. Both Toyota & Honda are amazing cars..
Just didn't understand, why did he start the review with negatives of the car. That just turns off the buyer. However seeing the whole review. It has lots of positive and new things in the category.
Great review guys... And yes in looks ..wow factor is missing ...also i m nt a fan of that biege color... although missing diesel is nt a prob..but tested fuel efficiency figure could hv been better at least for marketing gimmick something Suzuki does best
Good detail review. Sir aap jese dusre senior itne saalo ki mehnat kar k review karte hei, lekin "Jio" affect ke karan aajkal swghoshit "Carguru" aur "expert"youtube par auto sector ko bigaad rahe hei hindi channel dwaraa. Aap se req heu ki ho sale to hindi mei bhi review kijiye. Taaki "Carguru" jese ghar se review karne wale aur salesman ko betha kar review kar ne wale jo logo ko bewakoof bana rahe he unko rokaa jaa sake.
Srinivasan Parthasarathy Toyota say they don’t offer a sunroof because they do not want to encourage unsafe behaviour - people sticking their heads out while the car is being driven. As for the AA and CP - their argument is that by offering miracast and mirrorlink people can still connect their phones.
that's great aa hatchback turned into a small sedan the segment first features are roof mounted ac 4 inch TFT gesture control tyre pressure moniter 7 air bags hsa vsa 8 way electrically adgustable rear foglamps and the things missing are sunroof 16 inch alloy wheels telescopic steering wheel 64 gb intenel memory rear head rest auto head lamps satellite navigation apple car play android auto cornering lamps smart trunk opener ventilated seats reat entertainment system sensing technology
In our country people priority while buying a car are, Internal and external Looks Fuel efficiency Maintainance Gadgets Less price with all of the above. Nowhere safety is a priority in our country, that's why brands like Toyota, volkswagen, Ford have tough time in India even they keep safety as first priority. But they are top competitors in the world because except India other countries have strict norms while it comes to safety. Hope this trend will change in India and people start thinking about safety.
When is Toyota Avanza launching in india 2018 please let me know because I am planning to buy 7 seater car for my family this year I like the look of the Toyota Avanza
Muralibabu babu I dont think they will launch an avanza... Ertiga itself isnt performing well and globally there isnt any diesel variant for avanza which is y toyota isnt willing to bring to India
If Safety is a main norm for the buyer, then this car highly recommended. 7 airbags(in all variants) and front parking sensor is a good initiative. Hope this will get 5 star rating in NCAP and hats off to Toyota for not compromising on safety.

I’ve always liked Karthikeya’s reviews, right from Autocars days.
Its good to see him with Zigwheels now.
Keep up the good work mate.
All the best.
7:53 😂😂😂
You nailed it man...!!!
A good unbiased review as always...✌️
Keshavraj Kumbhar hehehe glad to hear that. 🙏🏽
that facelift smile is scary like a Joker from batman

One of the most comprehensive reviews of the Yaris , much better than Auto car, Auto Portal & C&B show
Govind Mohan thank you so much for letting us know! Glad to know it’s worked for you! 🙏🏽

As Marques Brownlee of MKBHD is to Tech, so is Karthikeya to Automotive!
Larsen J I would also say Savagegeese as well
Renuka is the best among all. Sorrynosorry
Hey Larsen! No way man! MKBHD is the man! But, thanks!
Excellent review as always KS!

Rohit Bhatia I really do hope they don’t get too ambitious with their pricing. Would be a pity.

Yaris is overhyped car city is king
Nachiket Bidwai that 1.5 vtec engine is gem
I'll go for Hyundai...👌
Yaris has 7 air bags and cooled glove box from the base variant.
Nachiket Bidwai city any day of My life
Vinod singh yes brother 7 air bags from the base variant is excellent but air vooled gloove box os just a gimmic because it doesn't help you a lot as shown..watch askcarguru video of most overhyped feature
which one is better automatic or manual in terms of power ?

I would be disappointed if Toyota prices it slightly premium than City. Though it seems a quality product , its not easy to get room where City, Verna and Ciaz are already established.
Vinod singh yes brother and all three are excellent just ciaz facelift Will be better competitor to city 2018 and verna 2018
Nachiket Bidwai
Just hoping Suzuki would replace current 1.2L underpowered petrol engine with 1.0 boosterjet engine.
Yess u r right I think price should be
J-7.99 lac
G-8.70
V-9.9
Vx-10.6
THE GADGET EXPERT SHOW
That would be great pricing if Toyota wants to make some space for Yaris. I think the VX variant would be 1.5-2 lakh more expensive as it gets only CVT , no manual option and also equipped with first of its segment feature such as VSC,TPMS ,Hill assist, front parking sensors.
Vinod singh agree
Hi, I would like to know how the Honda City V petrol is (more like a long term perspective)? Also is the city costly to maintain.
Great review.. especially starting with cons is a good statergy.. I love the way Karthikeya presents... I am damn sure the lesser varients are the deal as safety is top notch in all...
dhureen karthik hey bro! Thank you for watching! Yes the G variant should be a solid pick!
Does it has drive modes like eco and sport mode?
BHARATH V R no sir. Please let us know if you have any other queries.
Karthikeya, how do you compare the Ivtec motor with this engine?
Add gesture control for every sedans
Only person who explained about the rear blower and not AC
as always awesome review from Karthik, but for a not so awesome car :( . Karthik- what would you suggest ? Vento /city/Verna for daily drives to office under 10 km(one side) in city and occasional long drives. i had a global fiesta so i would need something similar :)
Thanks for the insight of yaris... I am 5'11''. I prefer to push back the driver seat all the way back so that my left leg is relaxed and fully stretched while driving automatic ... could you please tell me if driver seat is pushed back all the way , then 1) back seat passenger will have good leg room , 2 ) driver legs will be fully stretched.... you are the correct person to tell as you are 6'.... appreciate your answer...
Nice reviews
What is a ground clearance of tari
Pl review manual transmission 2021 also
Thx
Brother karti is elevating every bit of automotive journalism...
RoOs VS hello there! Glad to see that you are interested in four wheels too! Glad to know you like it! 😁
Kartikeya Singhee you are awesome
RoOs VS hug bro! Thanks for keeping us motivated.
Is the infotainment system standard 2din? Would it be possible to use an aftermarket 2din android head unit?
Everybody writes, but only a few writes perfectly! Zigwheels just did the same. Their review is perfect & dare to share and speak of things that other channels speak not of ;)
Can we wait for diesel version ?
Very informative detailed video..piece of ur advise.. Which one you would recommend between.. Verna sx auto vs yaris vx cvt.. Overall and by driving experience.. I now drive a polo 1.6 and grand I 10..and now looking for sedan
If it's the driving dynamics you are looking for, then go for the Verna. Yaris would be our pick if you spend most of your time driven around.
Very well detailed review buddy!!!
Keep it up .
I'm one of your subscriber.
Yaris is automatic?
Toyota Yaris in-depth review awesome 👏
I have seen may be around 100 yaris review in that this was the best...awesome presentn
Dear Karthik... Excellent review.. what do you mean of sufficient ground clearance ❓
Tushar Kamath Thanks so much...but still i am not satisfied...
That 1.5L engine is one of the most reliable engine Toyota has ever made
Toyota spoiled it , yaris could have best one in the segment but disappointed
it's the best from safety, ride quality and reliability point of view. Not for enthusiast who wants fun driving car but more a family person.
Interiors are outdated...hope not taxi cab again
llklllk it's not a diesel taxi car
Yay it has cruise control, I drive in the highway 80 percent of the time so I need this feature
Raghu Reddy
I just made my opinion here thats it and i have the freedom to do so , but
if you dont know how to behave with a person in public comment it is not your fault but your parents were careless about you , who are you to call me idiot grow up buddy ?
Awesome car Please Don't compare with honda, verna, Ciaz. Toyota after Innova. You made Yaris.
awesome review especially cutting out kamath was funny , about the car definitely a comparo video is required
Adn dna He’s an awesome partner on these drives. Hehe
Sir, what is the price?
Arpan Malik prices will be revealed by Toyota later this month.
Can we install 16 teen inches alloys in yaris
price kea ha
Great review till end... keep up the good work !
Bro as i have already mentioned, in reviews you are mentioning airbags are available from base but the brochure doesn’t speak the same language.
Toyota Yaris or Skoda Rapid ??
Emraan Khan will wait for prices to givea final comment. But, if you want a s
smooth four seat sedan, the Yaris would have the edge.
Rapid has MPI engine for petrol which is not best compared to City iVTEC MT or Vento TSI AT.
For Diesel, Rapid TDI DSG is the best
If the Maintenance is similar to the Etios I think its a good buy. But Yeah!! They need to upgrade to market offerings to be a best seller. Both Toyota & Honda are amazing cars..
Any Toyota owner even after 10 years.......Bindass..😎.That's the special....
Best review.. Better than other reviwers..
Pleasure to see a Karthik review!! Good job zigwheels..
Your reviews are really good
Kp it up bro :)
Vrushank Kotak thanks for your time bro.. and thanks for the motivation! Take care!
Your review is smoother than the car.
premium than city? i see why, advantage is 4 discs, airbags and better placed air vents at back.
Just didn't understand, why did he start the review with negatives of the car. That just turns off the buyer. However seeing the whole review. It has lots of positive and new things in the category.
I suggest to Toyota change the yaris front bumper pattern or design
The side quarter profile has made it a bad looker.
Ur new look is great! Miss u on the Autocar Show!
Such a beautiful review...I would pay to watch this video!!
Yaaris stand last in it's segment .
1. Ciaz
2. Honda City
3. verna
4. skoda rapid
5. Yaaris
At least , my research says it
Great review guys... And yes in looks ..wow factor is missing ...also i m nt a fan of that biege color... although missing diesel is nt a prob..but tested fuel efficiency figure could hv been better at least for marketing gimmick something Suzuki does best
We need a comparison with its competition. Please
Karthik - vento tsi/verna/city/yaris - comparison video would be much awaited .
People - raise your hands if need this video
the only factor that i liked in yaris is 7 airbags and front sensors....
only in petrol why?
Honda City hands down.
For enthusiast driver it's city
For all around driver it's Yaris
For pratical driver it's verna
If price more than city it's simply not worth...but if price in Verna bracket than its a btr bet...
Good detail review. Sir aap jese dusre senior itne saalo ki mehnat kar k review karte hei, lekin "Jio" affect ke karan aajkal swghoshit "Carguru" aur "expert"youtube par auto sector ko bigaad rahe hei hindi channel dwaraa. Aap se req heu ki ho sale to hindi mei bhi review kijiye. Taaki "Carguru" jese ghar se review karne wale aur salesman ko betha kar review kar ne wale jo logo ko bewakoof bana rahe he unko rokaa jaa sake.
Detailed information provided.. compared to other reviews..
Add a housefly to the equation and the gesture control becomes just little more interesting 🤣
karthikeya one of the best review ever.i was enjoying....
Verna is the best
Kitna deti hae ??
You guys have done a good job for the review...
Ground clearance? 155 mm
Ayush Gupta we were told 153mm but it’s not on paper right now.
Nice review i laughed so much of that guy shouting outsisde when you closed the door
Karthikeya ur the best when it come to review. Keep it up 👌👌👌
Prashant Rathod hello Prashant! Appreciate it bro! Thank you for your time.
Kartikeya sir my best reviewer on TH-cam!
Prabhu M thanks for the vote Sir! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 please do share any feedback that you might have.
Karthik - I watched entire video just for you. Huge fan...as far as Yaris...feels okok.
Amit Jadhav bro! 🙏🏽 thank you for your time. Lotsa love.
great presentation of the car; as always
Just love the way you review...👍
Shubham Kumawat hey Shubham! 🙏🏽 Grateful. Do let me know where you would like us to do better. Thank you!
Mazda and Toyota do not offer android auto or iPhone os etc even on their top end international models
I want karthikeya from zigwheels and rohan albal from powerdrift to collab and do a comparo....... Dat would be eye feast....😇😇😇
kartheek sai Careful with what you wish for :)
Rohan Albal is omnipresent..😊
kartheek sai someone just listened your wish bro....
Just came here after seeing your comment on the amaze vs dzire video.....
I will go with Honda City
Not sure why Toyota missed Apple, Android support and also Sunroof.
Srinivasan Parthasarathy Toyota say they don’t offer a sunroof because they do not want to encourage unsafe behaviour - people sticking their heads out while the car is being driven. As for the AA and CP - their argument is that by offering miracast and mirrorlink people can still connect their phones.
that's great aa hatchback turned into a small sedan the segment first features are roof mounted ac 4 inch TFT gesture control tyre pressure moniter 7 air bags hsa

Really this video have complete details . Good work
mohit shukla hey Mohit! Thank you! Would appreciate any feedback that you have for us. Thanks in advance!
Any time verna and Honda city is best
What a lovely review!
good to hear ur review karthi.....more than the car
Plz review the G version
IF TOYOTA GETS THE PRICING RIGHT, IT WOULD SOON BE IN MY GARAGE.
Lots of features
7 airbags , projector head lamps as standard is just ...wow , looking eagerly for the price.
People care about hyped features in India, they don't care about safety and reliability.
Viral India ... Very true my friend ... But thanks to toyota ... For making safety a priority ..!
Still we Indians as usual would prefer external beauty rather than internal beauty, reliability and safety.
In our country people priority while buying a car are,
Internal and external Looks
Fuel efficiency
Maintainance
Gadgets
Less price with all of the above.
Nowhere safety is a priority in our country, that's why brands like Toyota, volkswagen, Ford have tough time in India even they keep safety as first priority. But they are top competitors in the world because except India other countries have strict norms while it comes to safety. Hope this trend will change in India and people start thinking about safety.
When is Toyota Avanza launching in india 2018 please let me know because I am planning to buy 7 seater car for my family this year I like the look of the Toyota Avanza
Muralibabu babu I dont think they will launch an avanza... Ertiga itself isnt performing well and globally there isnt any diesel variant for avanza which is y toyota isnt willing to bring to India
Disappointed with the car. Plus if it's going to be at a premium to city then it's written on the wall that it's a flop
No diesel. Not fair
johny Indians really love diesel don't they ?
it's a dirty fuel, and is being eliminated around the world. Diesel bs4 cars after 2020 will be definitely bear heavy tax.
Bro is Saeed from Lost lol
Like the apple just for the toyota badging itself people would buy this without considering the competition
