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. Now hybrid-only, the Yaris delivers exceptional fuel economy of 60-65mpg in real-world driving, making it particularly economical around town where it excels. The 286-litre boot is adequate for most needs, though not as spacious as the Honda Jazz. Well-equipped across all trim levels with modern technology, including a touchscreen infotainment system and comprehensive safety features, the Yaris feels nippy and nimble on the road. A 2024 facelift brought upgraded interior technology and optional increased power (129bhp) for top-spec models.

The standout GR Yaris is a homologation special engineered as a rally car, featuring a turbocharged 1.6-litre engine producing 257bhp, four-wheel drive, and a bespoke three-door body. It accelerates from 0-62mph in just 5.5 seconds with dazzling handling, making it one of the most exciting hot hatches available. The regular Yaris hybrid offers excellent value with low running costs, a sensational warranty, and a timing chain that lasts the car's lifetime. However, the firm ride can feel unsettled on imperfect road surfaces, and steering lacks feel compared to rivals like the Ford Fiesta or Mazda2.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking excellent fuel economy, those prioritising safety and reliability, families wanting a stylish and practical supermini, and enthusiasts interested in an affordable, thrilling hot hatch (GR Yaris).

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising a soft, comfortable ride, those needing maximum boot space, or buyers seeking engaging driving dynamics comparable to the Ford Fiesta.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Yaris if: You're seeking excellent fuel economy and low running costs, prioritise safety and reliability, want a stylish and practical supermini, or are interested in an affordable, thrilling hot hatch (GR Yaris).

Consider alternatives if: You require a softer ride, need maximum boot space, or desire engaging driving dynamics comparable to the Ford Fiesta.

Competitive Position: The Toyota Yaris (2021-present) is a strong contender in the modern supermini market, offering superior fuel economy and a comprehensive warranty that rivals cannot match. Its hybrid-only approach delivers real-world savings, particularly in urban driving where the Yaris thrives. Whilst the Renault Clio offers more space and the Honda Jazz provides greater practicality, the Yaris combines style, efficiency, and value effectively. The Ford Fiesta remains more engaging to drive, but the Yaris's lower running costs and safety equipment make it an excellent choice for sensible buyers. The GR Yaris stands apart as one of the most exciting hot hatches available, offering genuine performance and handling thrills at an accessible price point.
