But, it now comes loaded with all the latest safety features and this model, the 2021 Toyota Yaris ZR Hybrid, is one of the most efficient cars on the market. Paul Maric tests out the all-new Toyota Yaris to see if it's worth the big investment.

    Correction about the gear B: It's not for regeneration, but for long downhills (mountains). It uses the petrol engine for braking in that gear, in order to prevent the battery from becoming fully charged. Full battery can lead to overheating of friction brakes on extremely long downhills, as regenerative braking will no longer be possible.

    My wife was adamant she wanted the new Yaris, nothing else. I have to say I am really impressed with the car, its so efficient and it has heaps of cool technology. Mind you my car is a 2013 Camry, so the Yaris is a lot more recent, but it makes my old Camry feel like a dinosaur.

    Another great review Paul. Been eyeing off the new Yaris for my Mum, (she has a 2010 model), but if Toyota have increased the prices across the range, I don't think she'd be interested so much now.
    As for the Hybrid model, bit disappointing that for all that money, there's not a lot of 'creature' comforts thrown in (i.e. electric seats) or upgraded tech (i.e. screen size), etc. They must have spent a bit on the hybrid tech to skimp out everywhere else I guess. But like you mentioned, you're better off buying the Corolla version instead. Can't get over the economy though... crazy!

    11:34 What B-mode really does, is maximize the usage of the large MG2 electric motor for braking, and also uses the petrol engine for engine braking. The way it does that, is using the smaller MG1 electric motor to spin up the petrol engine to fairly high rpm's to utilize the engines compression to slow down the car to avoid brake fade on long steep inclines. Since MG1 uses a fair bit of electron juice to spin the engine, the net gain is negative, so no, you can't use it to charge the battery!

    I bought the ZR hybrid and absolutely love it! People talk about getting a Corolla for the same money but bigger isn't always better... The fuel economy is better in the Yaris (I'm averaging 3.5L/100km) and for just me, I don't need the extra space. I did get a $1500 discount off the official driveaway price. Very happy customer here :)

      I am in the same position but would be out of my mind to get a puny Yaris for $27k when a Corolla is $28k. It's just plain better value and I buy cars with the future in mind, the boot and passenger space of the Yaris is untenable for a trip with friends and a boot full of luggage, let alone for when you're not so single or have a kid, or simply in the NVH and acceleration outside of city driving. For the money you reach the limits of the Yaris very quickly, a Corolla is a sound investment.

    None of the Yaris range have built in Sat-Nav. You need to use your mobile phone,
    and not all mobile phones will link into the system, so you won't necesarily get
    the touch screen display shown. It's also unlikely you will get the car to run purely
    in electric mode at all. It accelerates pretty quickly. We took delivery of our Yaris "Design"
    (French built) last week.

    In germany the Corolla Hybrid 1.8 Liter costs about 28.580,00 € (the 2,0 Liter 30580 €) without discount and the Yaris Hybrid 1.5 Liter 22990 € (Club Edition) and both the Corolla and the Yaris Listprices (not Leasing) are taken both out of an Edition Level I would call the exact middle edition in a ranking of 7 different Editions for both cars. The length of the Corolla is just 43 cm aka 16,9291 inches longer and when you think about that the sitting space on the backseat of the Corolla is so poor in legspace and hight in headspace to the space you have in the "smaller" Yaris it makes me my just shake ones head. And the car boot space has only 47 Liters more in the Corolla. So all in all with a price difference of almost 5600 Euro ( 8.619,39 australian dollars) I can "at least" for the selling market in germany not complain about paying too much for a Toyota Yaris in Comparison to a Corolla. And just besides. The car body design of the Yaris has much more expressive power and motion than the Corolla. The Corolla looks just boring.
    By the way. Does the new Corolla also have a new Lithium-Ion battery or still the old nickel metall hydrid?

      @@rjvincent8682 Except this is an Australian review, mainly for the Australian market. That factor is not in our consideration but rather the fact a hatchback with far less boot space, rear legroom, interior quality, highway performance and NVH costs only $1.5k less than a Corolla ($27k vs $28.5k) that does much better in all those regards, is probably the reason why I have seen none of these on our roads and a ton of Corollas. The value isn't there. Given a greater amount of highway driving done in Australia compared to tight city streets in Europe, and far cheaper petrol in comparison, the Corolla is a better value. Small/compact cars (and now SUVs) have only just been the norm for the past decade or so due to being a middle ground between a traditional large sedan like a Camry and a city hatchback from a class below like the Yaris. The only thing drawing people to the Yaris, which was otherwise quite a weak car for anyhting but light city duties, was it was the cheapest way to get into a brand new Toyota under $20k while a Corolla was at $27k. Evidently as city car prices jump, they lose the one aspect that made them tolerable to many and Australians have snubbed these for more capable and better value alternatives.

To top it off has a much better 0-100 time. Around 10secs sometimes less as seen here vs 12.5 secs for the hybrid Corolla. Lots to like about the Yaris hybrid.

      Exactly. I have yet to see a single new Yaris on the road, even in the middle of a capital city. I've seen far more VW Golf Mk8's launched at the same time. What I do see a ton of is the Corolla that costs essentially the same, so I'm glad everyone is thinking with their heads on this matter. The price is shocking, not even 5 years ago we got a full-size Camry for $28,990 drive-away. The Corolla with a tonne more tech is reasonable at $27k, Yaris though, tell em they're dreamin.

    Talking about holding up traffic? Wow come and visit Alstonville, Goonellabah, Lismore, Ballina areas mate - it takes me 12.25km up to 23 mins these days because on all the single lane roads especially as they hit the town everyone literally crawls at 33km/hr (60km zone) and then the favourite- no one wants to use the outside lane which means at every roundabout you have 1-2 km long traffic queue morning and afternoons! Then another favourite- an example from today among thousands I see everyday- a Ford Ranger driven by a man of around late fifties showed how law abiding he is- sat at 78km in the 80km lane, slowed down to 60 when it change to 60 - great huh? Then the lane divided at the round about and the same vehicle ensured I did not get past so overtook me doing 60km and went at about 75 until turning off right. Another came around the round about and hit 90km in the 60zone until the lane merged and then dropped down to 50. Australia of the 21st century- a-z of safety gadgets but nothing added to the brain.

    Well, as of Nov-Dec 2022, the waiting list for Yaris ZR hatchback hybrid (as for all other Toyota hybrids) is now >12-18 months, and this is just Toyota guess! It could well be longer and not likely to get shorter before middle of 2024 or later. The whole Toyota range prices will go up again in 2023 and again in 2024. If you don't like the 2022 price, it won't get any better, consider to shop for another car brand. I tested the pure petrol Yaris, not hybrid, this week and the pure petrol Yaris is NOT worth buying at all. It was noisy, unrefined and utterly gutless at low suburban speeds of 0-80kmh. We have spent 6 weeks in Europe in 2022 and other there in Italy, France and Greece almost every Toyota under 10 yeas old is a petrol-hybrid. And there are a huge number of Toyota petrol-hybrids in Europe now. Virtually no pure petrol on the roads, it may be that they are not even sold there. Having driven a pure petrol Yaris now, I am not surprised. Hybrid Toyota is vastly better to drive than a petrol Toyota, IMO. I tried to get a deal on hybrid-Yaris and I got nowhere. Which is what I expected, really. BTW Corolla hybrid waiting list is even longer than Yaris hatch hybrid and Corolla price goes up further in 2023 so the price gap will widen.
