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 and distinctive wide rear end. Crucially, the Yaris is now hybrid-only (except for the GR performance variant), making it exceptionally economical with real-world fuel consumption of 60-65mpg, particularly impressive in town driving where the hybrid system's energy harvesting excels. The 2024 facelift brought upgraded interior technology and optional increased power from the 1.5-litre hybrid system in top-spec models.

On the road, the Yaris feels nippy and nimble with responsive throttle response, though the firm ride means you'll feel road imperfections. It's easy to drive with light steering and a CVT-style automatic gearbox, though it lacks the engaging handling of rivals like the Ford Fiesta. The standout GR Yaris is an entirely different proposition—a homologation special with a turbocharged 257bhp three-cylinder engine, four-wheel drive, and dazzling handling that makes it one of the most exciting hot hatches available. Running costs are excellent thanks to hybrid efficiency, reasonable servicing costs, and a timing chain that lasts the car's lifetime. Toyota's generous warranty and well-equipped trim levels from Icon upwards add further appeal.

Best for: Budget-conscious drivers seeking excellent fuel economy, those wanting a stylish yet sensible supermini, and buyers interested in an affordable, thrilling hot hatch (GR Yaris).

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum practicality (Honda Jazz offers more space), drivers who prefer engaging handling (Ford Fiesta is more fun), or those wanting satnav as standard on pre-facelift models.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Yaris if: You're seeking excellent fuel economy, want a stylish yet sensible supermini, or are interested in an affordable, thrilling hot hatch (GR Yaris).

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum practicality, prefer engaging handling, or require satnav as standard on all trims.

Competitive Position: The Toyota Yaris (2021-present) is a compelling choice in the modern supermini market, offering a winning combination of style, efficiency, and practicality. Whilst the Renault Clio offers slightly better value and the Honda Jazz provides superior space, the Yaris's exceptional fuel economy, comprehensive safety equipment, and generous warranty make it an excellent all-rounder. The Ford Fiesta remains the handling benchmark, but for those prioritising real-world running costs and contemporary styling, the Yaris is a sound and sensible choice. The GR Yaris stands alone as one of the most exciting hot hatches available, delivering genuine thrills at an accessible price point.
