- This is the next big car from Toyota and it's a hybrid again, this time it's a 1.5ltr petrol hybrid or 1lt petrol that Ireland will get. Let's see if it lives up to the heritage

Great video Bob, I loved the Yaris hybrid. I got the chance to drive and review one last year for my channel.
I loved how much the cars handling improved and the heads up display was a neat touch too!
greeting from Greece Bob. 1st video i watched of your channel and beside your nice informative review i really got impressed by your social awareness ( 8:30 about Tesco drivers). thumbs up! well deserved subscription keep it up mate
Good review mate keep up the good work
Great review, as always, & loving the new intro 👌
Thanks John!
Loving the new graphics and intro!
Glad you like them Stuart, makes life a little easier
A Good concise vid bob 👍
New graphics great Bob. Nice car, great review.
Thanks Gareth
Great video yet- no hard feelings Bob, .I just had a test drive with Yaris luna sport monotone - hatchback and decided to buy one. If you would go through the screens on the small display, there are very good indicators of the battery level, and anything else related to it.
Great review. Thanks ⭐👍
Great review thanks Bob. Awaiting mine to arrive at my local dealership Pinkstones Toyota in Stoke on Trent, UK. Just a quick comment. I agree the CVT box does create "noise" from the engine as it is revs highly to accellerate. That said, it's not in your face (from my test drive) it's just because there is a lack of noise coming from anywhere else. The old story of you manage to reduce noise in 1 area results in uncovering a "new" noise that was there all along. I hope that makes sense? lol - Subscribed to you today.
Enjoyed the video, thank you. Very helpful, but I noticed the folks in both Ireland and here in England never mention how good the sound quality of the stereo is, (or isn't) when reviewing the Yaris?
From what Iv'e heard these are amazing to drive
Congrats on 60+ Bob, I love spotting empty buses to, especially the 15-20 year old ones belching out diesel fumes 🤬
Bonus scene at the end
Ahh the real Sgt. Majors of the audience!
0:55 sounds exactly like my Partner Tepee Van. That’s absolutely crap tinny doors. It’s not that bad bar that, wouldn’t be at the top of my list anyway. Good review Bob, I enjoyed it a lot
I wonder if that could be improved with the use of some Dynamat type stuff? I recently read about a guy who'd fitted some of it to the inside of his VW Up! GTI doors as part of an audio upgrade, and reckoned the doors now shut with more of a quality-evoking 'thunk' than the tinny sound they made before.
2022/2023 models no longer sound tinny
Does the rear view mirror reduce the amount of forward visibility as per GR?
I borrowed a Design version, which is the next level up from base. I really enjoyed driving it, and thought the acceleration was surprisingly good. I checked the doors, as I'd seen other reviews comment on this, but they sounded OK on mine. I disagree on the boot, which I thought was small, and roadnoise on the motorway, which I wouldn't describe as quiet.
Design version sounded better? That's a relief since I just ordered dynamic not long ago. If my memory serves right, then it didn't sound like the car in the video as well.
you can check how much battery if the center screen and i think you had to push top left button. my mpg was avrage 88mpg after 1 test drive with abit of dual carriegeway and then 20-30mph roads 20 min carrige 40 min slower roads.
So much fun to drive a little like go kart just press the accelerator and it goes like a rocket
Hey Bob, I bought a Yaris Hybrid Dynamic a few weeks ago, cracking little car. Still trying to figure out all the tech on it but it handles a treat and looks fab and sporty. I'm well chuffed with my purchase 👌
How you finding the car?
Great review Bob. Isn't the coloquial term "a murder of crows" for a mass of Crows?
True Martin, a handful of Crow's is an attempted murder 😂
The term is a 'parliament' of rooks.
15:07 You can actually set the distance to the vehicle in front in 3 steps using the button right above the one used to activate the cruise control on the steering wheel (the one that looks like half a car sending out a radar signal). The set distance resets to the far setting every time you deactivate cruise control (not just canceling it, but turning it off). Also, a lot of the safety features are at play when using the active cruise control, some of which can be a bit annoying. Most of them can be turned off through the settings in the info display in the dashboard.
Jou should be able to see how much charge the battery has on the home screen on the infotainment system, and also in one of the submenus in the info display in the dash. Those submenus are available by pressing the left and right buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Up and down changes menu, left and right changes submenu. Some "settings" submenus are available by pressing and holding the OK button, if so, it will say so on the screen.
I just got mine this thursday (top of the line trim level, Oxide Bronce), and I wholeheartedly agree with you, that cabin is a VERY nice place to be in. :)
Hi form the uk 🇬🇧 and Scotland 🏴
Yaris is nice for small places in cities, but it's not a problem driving it for 10 hours on a trip either as it's comfortable. Even my old Yaris 2007 were nice for long distance
driving. I noticed that this UK model were missing a button to heat up the steering wheel. Someone said that 2021 European model like mine have extra features missing on UK version
I got the 125hp manual one
Hi Bob, love the intro, I don’t suppose you’d know any good editing software to blurr license plates?
Why would you need to do that ? CCTV cameras are everywhere these days, you can be filmed without permission so the license plate would be picked up every day you go out.
Nice review Bob. I must admit tho' I'm not a fan of CVT gearboxes having driven a Nissan note with this type gearbox and it was woeful. I reckon this would make a good second hand buy but it's a bit expensive for what you get.
This or the Honda Jazz?
Agree with Bob on USB upfront, why do manufacturers carry on with a 12v socket when no one uses them these days
You can buy converters for the 12v but no one wants that anymore.
@@wdf76 Bosch makes very compact rechargable pumps (EasyPump, 3,6V/3Ah) about the size of a flashlight. Maximum pressure is 150PSI, should be enough for most wheels. You just set the desired pressure and let it pump away.
And it charges through USB... :)
I use one for a sat nav
E-CVT. Massively different from a CVT, despite them sounding and driving similarly
What're the main differences?
@@maxmorris4562 Reliability.
@Concrete Head Yes that was the one thing I noticed about the test drive was that unlike normal CVTs it's not irritating under normal driving conditions it actually gets up and goes and the noise isn't too bad under full throttle I'm extremely impressed.
Most Toyota hybrids have an “Energy Flow Display” on both the centre infotainment screen and the little display between instruments. In fact you were almost there with the bar graph you selected, you needed to hit the “Energy” button.
You must have a heavy right foot (5.9litres/100km). I can get 5.2litres/100km out of my Camry Hybrid for city and motorway driving, day in, day out.
My old man is exactly the same with his 1.5 Design. He’s loving it but only had it 6 weeks and he was disappointed that he couldn’t really get much better than low 40’s mpg.
I took him out for a drive in it (took the scenic route to go pick up food shopping) and without trying or dawdling I was hitting mid 60’s mpg.
It’s all about how you drive them, and knowing how to get the best out of the HSD (I have a 2.0 GR Corolla).
Consumption of 5,9 l/100 km. (= 47,9 mpg) is really (too) high for this car.
The average, according to Spritmonitor is 4,54 l/100 km. (= 62,2 mpg), measured over min. 2000 km. (1250 miles).
www.spritmonitor.de/en/overview/49-Toyota/1287-Yaris_Hybrid.html?fueltype=10&vehicletype=1&constyear_s=2020&power_s=112&minkm=2000&gearing=3&powerunit=3
As you can see above, not one of 15 drivers managed 5,9 l/100 km. (= 47,9 mpg).
The "record holder" managed 5,14 liters (55 mpg), so you "won! 😉
Our Yaris Hybrid (2017) has an average consumption (not BC but measured over three and a half years) of 4,9 l/100 km. = 57,6 mpg.
Got the car 2 weeks ago..in urban conditions with light foot I can reach 3.9 l..most times it settles around 4.2..amazing silence in urban use/commuting. Hills and mountains are another story it gets a bit noisy
I've not seen any other reviews that mention the tinny doors, interesting! They don't sound too substantial.
They don’t sound that bad now. Iv ordered the gr sport variant. They have improved quality for 2022/23 models and no longer sound tinny
Hi bob its looks 100 times nicer than polo
This is true!
I don’t know what Toyota are doing with there interiors, but it’s not a good direction, and would it hurt to add a bit of sound dampening to the doors, I think Honda jazz is a better car
@@wdf76 Still scored 5 stars in crash tests, so as long as it has proven to protect the occupants of the car, then the doors wouldn't stop me buying this tomorrow.
The car weighs just over 1 ton thanks to things like this.
Which model is it? I'm looking for a review on the Icon edition.
Spec seems a bit strange as it does have the halogen headlights from the icon base model yet I think he states it’s a mid grade one.
Door sound doesn’t sound like that on the 2022 model. Have heard that quality has improved immensely for 2022/23 models
Where did you hear this, not doubting but interested in buying one so would set my mind at ease.
The door closing sounds tinny like a van. I think Toyota needs to upgrade the cvt gearbox. Honda have done a great job with the new Jazz, the present Civic and the CRV
The cvt is upgraded over the old one, it's got a launch gear now, takes off well
@@wdf76 Indeed. The e-CVT uses a planetary gear between the two electric motors (MG1 and MG2) instead of the belt and pulleys. This new and improved transmission is (probably) the reason why it is now possible to tow a trailer with the Yaris Hybrid.
Is it bad I know the streets of portlaoise from these videos 😂😂
I don’t live in portlaoise but I know them too 😂😂😂, I don’t even go there that often. Nice town have to say
Active cruise control in vw golf you can set how far away from the car in front when you want it to slow down, makes it much nicer.
You can do that in the Yaris too.
Active cruise in the Yaris too and it has lane keeping assist so it will steer for you 👌
for some reason to me alot of new cars look like cross overs like the new golf looks like an people carrier from the back and the front of the yaris gives me that same sort of feeling
New intro who this? 😂
Maybe pushing buttons is not your thing. Or even driving a Toyota hyrid. The energy flow animation is right there under your finger if you can use it properly. The consumption with your driving tells me you need to rethink the process completely.
Oh god, the drama of your comment is so high 🙄
@@BobFlavinVideo I'm right and you know it.
@@BobFlavinVideo Hey Bob. Rethinking here. I was too agile. I should have taken it easy. Please accept my apology. All the best.
Mothers 2021 Yaris Hybrid car battery keeps going flat. went back to dealer, who said the car needs to be run every few days to keep it charged!??? really? I could understand maybe after a couple of weeks but after 3 to 4 days left sitting, battery total drained. Anyone else have same? If this is "normal" then if you go away for a few days you need the AA to get you started each time, seems ridiculous.
I’ve heard of this. Make sure she keeps her keys far away from the car when at home or they constantly communicate between each other, draining the battery.
Let me know what you think of the car and the new graphics, thanks all!
Please can you change the jingle between sections. It makes my speaker sound like it’s broken. Thanks
@@MiniEggs1999 I'll work on that for you
Love it bob great addition to break up the different parts of video, great review as always👍🚗.
3500 extra for the hybrid and a quoted 2.3l/100km improvement over the 1.5 non hybrid. That's 300eu a year difference or 11.5 years of fuel based on 10k a year. Even driving 20k a year it's a savage 5.5 years to break even.....ouch...
Like the intro. Time efficient and like the car.
Your better of getting a Nearly new Corolla they are much better made and they don't cost much more than the Yaris sometimes cheaper
Good vid but lack of sat nav no heated seats no heated wheel plus expensive I went for Honda jazz hybrid.
Honda Jazz Hybrid better in absolutely every way ! ... and the doors shut with a reassuring solid thud.
I prefer Google maps than the sat navs supplied by car makers, and Android Auto makes this easy.
Quieter than a Corolla, the little Yaris has come a long way!
I have a 2.0 GR and it’s overall quieter than my old mans 1.5 Design. That said the 1.8 Rolla is a fair bit noisier than my 2.0.
My first Yaris was a 2007 1,3L 5 gear manual. It was quite low geared, which made motorway driving a bit of a pain. They changed that on the facelifted version in 2009 by giving it a much needed 6. gear.
Great little car but £20k for flimsy cheapo doors like that, can't do it.
As a combined package, the car has the highest safety rating in its class though...
Congrats on reviewing the mid-spec (and not the top one). This makes the review more realistic compared to what the majority of buyers will opt for.
On another note, the consumption you are reporting is quite high. There are several yt videos that run test drives and the trip computer reports no more than 4.0lt/100km (worst case scenario)

you seem to know a lot about cars...what car do u suggest ???
From the side profile the front of the car looks like it doesn't match the rear of the car. It's just weird.
Nice Mazda2
Except it isn't. It's based on Toyotas nev GA-B platform.
The Mazda 2 has only been rebranded as a Yaris sedan in North America.
The Mazda 2 is crap compared to the Yaris and the Yaris actually came along first. The interior of the Mazda is pretty dire but the Yaris has some really nice touches
The 1.0 is an abomination of a yoke and was considered unrefined 15 years ago.
This is a 1.5 hybrid, u can get this car in a 65hp 1.0l guise which is dangerously underpowered, we thought of getting the Yaris in that 65hp engine, it’s diabolical. This 1.5 hybrid has 115hp which is has enough poke in it. Very droany tho
dealbraker indicatores at wrong side of headlights
Went to see one today, £20k.... really..
Made in France...
Red trainers on old men is no from me.
Bob you’re a great reviewer but this vs a Polo Tsi ? VW is cheaper, more roomy, more masculine, more solid and a better all rounder. Plus to me, after the B pillar , this looks like an Aygo. The proportions are odd. That door clang too. No thanks.
Again with the CVT gearbox, grinds with me that a manufacturer with a reputation for reliability is using technology renowned for unreliability.
Toyota E-CVT transmissions (hybrid transmissions) have a good reputation. Regular CVT's, not so much.
@@EJB3III They might last a bit longer than some, but the way they are constructed, i can't see them lasting over 20 years.
@@tonedcos So the Toyota E-CVT has been round since 1997 (Prius). It is completely different from belt-driven CVTs from other manufacturers (including the disasters from Nissan). Toyota should stop calling it a CVT and just refer to it as a “Hybrid Synergy Drive”. It is mechanically simpler than a manual gearbox by using a planetary gearbox to connect a petrol engine and two electric motor/generators to the drive wheels.
@@dingbatt I see, that's what bugs me about the conventional cvt, the belt drive.
@@tonedcos It takes 3 minutes to check out how it works. This is what Toyota calls the "e-CVT": a planetary gearbox: th-cam.com/video/GiVHimmrxjE/w-d-xo.html
I was going to watch the video but as soon as he starts nit picking over the sound of a door closing, that was enough for me. If a car sales person did that in the showroom to put buyers off he would be out of a job. Amateurish.
But he’s not trying to sell the car.
He’s reviewing the car so joe public knows what it’s like.
Completely agree. Too much emphasis on that for me. Plus the sound has improved for the 2022 /23 model. Iv recently purchased a gr sport variant n the doors don’t sound tinny at all.
I just drove that car with summer and wintertires, and it was awfull... CVT is totally shit. You have to stear that car alltime... and never goes straight... and that electrIc drive, after 40kmh motor starts... but Thanks for the video.. and stearing adjustment, LOL😂😂 , mayby suits for people under 5 ft...
In what way is it totally shit?
Well I’m over 5 ft and still going to buy it... I love the look of it.
Well if you drove the car with both winter and summer tyres on it there might be a reason why you thought is was awful 👀
@@mikesanders5433 That's not what he meant,but,I take your point,funny!
Am 6.2 and the front seats are great..
