Review: 2021 Toyota Yaris – Does the City Hatchback have it beat? Not quite 01

With recent launch of the Honda City Hatchback, some may wonder if the Toyota Yaris remains a compelling proposition for the value orientated buyer.

While yes, the City Hatchback does offer an array of strong points – our “all about the details” Adrian believes the Toyota Yaris is more than match, as explained in the following video feature.

window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.defineSlot('/22557728108/my_article_fourthp_under_pc', [ 728, 90 ], 'div-gpt-ad-1685525140735-0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); });
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1685525140735-0'); });

The Yaris is powered by the 1.5-litre 2NR-FE four-cylinder engine that develops 107 PS and 140 Nm, paired with a CVT transmission.

Variant-to-variant, the Toyota Yaris is also cheaper than the City Hatchback, at the following prices.

The Toyota Yaris gets 7 airbags as standard, as well as the Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) ADAS package which (E and G variant) that includes features such as AEB, Lane Departure Alert (LDA), as well as Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).

Arvind can't remember a time when he didn't wheel around a HotWheels car. This love evolved into an interest in Tamiya and RC cars and finally the real deal 1:1 scale stuff. Passion finally lead to formal training in Mechanical Engineering. Instead of the bigger picture, he obsesses with the final drive ratio and spring rates of cars and spends the weekends wondering why a Perodua Myvi is so fast.
