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 combines striking sports-car-inspired styling with practical everyday usability. This latest generation marks a significant departure from the Yaris's traditionally staid appearance, featuring a swooping side profile, wide rear end, and distinctive nose. Like its bigger sibling, the Corolla, the Yaris is now hybrid-only (except for the GR variant), making it exceptionally economical. The 2024 facelift introduced upgraded interior technology and optional increased power from the 1.5-litre hybrid system in top-spec models, delivering either 114bhp or 129bhp depending on specification.

Real-world fuel economy reaches an impressive 60-65mpg, with the hybrid system's energy harvesting making it equally efficient in town driving. Running costs are kept low through reasonable servicing prices, a metal timing chain that lasts the car's lifetime, and preferential tax treatment as an alternative fuel vehicle. The Yaris feels nippy and nimble around town, though the firm ride can be felt on imperfect road surfaces. For those seeking genuine excitement, the GR Yaris hot hatch delivers 257bhp from a turbocharged three-cylinder engine, four-wheel drive, and rally-inspired handling in a homologation special that's one of the most engaging hot hatches available.

Best for: Budget-conscious drivers seeking excellent fuel economy, those prioritising safety and equipment, families wanting a stylish and practical supermini, and enthusiasts interested in the thrilling GR Yaris hot hatch.

Not ideal for: Buyers requiring maximum boot space (Honda Jazz offers more), those preferring a softer ride, drivers wanting satnav on pre-facelift models, or those seeking the finest handling dynamics (Ford Fiesta is more engaging).


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Yaris if: You're seeking excellent fuel economy and low running costs, prioritising safety and equipment, wanting a stylish and practical supermini, or interested in the thrilling GR Yaris hot hatch.

Consider alternatives if: You require maximum boot space, prefer a softer ride, need satnav on all models, or desire the finest handling dynamics.

Competitive Position: The Toyota Yaris (2021-present) is a strong contender in the hybrid supermini segment, offering exceptional fuel economy, comprehensive safety equipment, and striking styling. Whilst the Renault Clio and Honda Jazz are also worthy alternatives, the Yaris's superior expert rating and excellent user satisfaction make it a compelling choice. The Ford Fiesta remains the handling benchmark, but the Yaris's hybrid efficiency and the availability of the sensational GR variant give it a significant edge for many buyers. Overall, the Yaris represents a sound, sensible, and stylish supermini with genuine appeal to both the head and the heart.
