Toyota Yaris (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very economical, especially around town	The ride is on the firm side
Fantastic GR Yaris hot hatch	Not as practical as a Honda Jazz
Plenty of safety kit as standard	No satnav on pre-facelift models

Quick Summary

The Toyota Yaris (2021-present) is a stylish and sensible hybrid supermini that breaks from its predecessors' staid image with a sports-car-esque nose and chunky rear. Available exclusively as a hybrid (bar the GR Yaris hot hatch), it offers exceptional fuel economy and comes with a sensational warranty. It competes against other hybrid rivals like the MG3 Hybrid, Renault Clio, and Honda Jazz, as well as conventional petrol superminis.

Out on the road, the Yaris is stable and responsive, particularly around town, with a perky 1.5-litre hybrid system. While the ride can be firm on imperfect surfaces, light steering and an automatic gearbox make it easy to drive. Practicality is good upfront, though the 286-litre boot is average. Running costs are a major highlight, with real-world MPG often reaching 60-65, reasonable servicing, and a lifetime timing chain. The high-performance GR Yaris offers unhinged performance and agile handling as a rally-derived homologation special.

Best for: Drivers prioritising economy, style, reliability (warranty), urban driving, or an exciting hot hatch (GR Yaris).

Not ideal for: Buyers who need maximum boot space (e.g., Honda Jazz), prefer a softer ride, or seek the ultimate in driving fun from a standard supermini (e.g., Ford Fiesta).


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Yaris if: You're prioritising economy, style, reliability (thanks to the long warranty), urban driving, or seeking an exciting hot hatch (GR Yaris).

Consider alternatives if: You need maximum boot space (e.g., Honda Jazz), prefer a softer ride, or seek the ultimate in driving fun from a standard supermini (e.g., Ford Fiesta).

Competitive Position: The Toyota Yaris (2021-present) stands out in the supermini segment with its striking design and hybrid-only powertrain, offering excellent fuel economy, especially in urban environments. While its ride can be firm and boot space isn't class-leading, its stylish design, standard safety kit, and long warranty make it a compelling choice. The addition of the enthusiast-focused GR Yaris further broadens its appeal, positioning it as a versatile option for budget-conscious, style-aware, or performance-seeking buyers.
