Pros and Cons: Toyota Yaris – this over the Honda Jazz?

The Toyota Yaris shares the same engine as the Perodua Myvi 1.5L. In fact, both engines are made at the same Daihatsu Perodua Engine Manufacturing plant in Sendayan.

The engines have different engine codes – 2NR-FE for the Toyota Yaris and 2NR-VE for the Perodua Myvi – but they are essentially the same aluminum block engines with slightly different tuning. The one fitted in the Toyota Yaris makes slightly more power, 107 PS and 140 Nm versus 103 PS and 136 Nm for the Myvi.

So why pay more for the Toyota Yaris then? Because the Yaris drives a lot better, and rides a lot more comfortable than the mediocre Myvi.

Here’s a very summary of what we like, and what we don’t like about the Toyota Yaris. A more detailed review can be found here.

Highest level of safety features

Where others will make you pay more for extra security includes, the Toyota Yaris comes standard with 7 airbags over all variations, as is electronic dependability control.

The main security highlights missing in the section J variation are vulnerable side screens with back cross traffic alert, and 360-degree leaving camera, which isn't generally vital on a vehicle this little in any case.

Discussing vulnerable side screens, the ones fitted in the Yaris' sister-vehicle Toyota Vios gives an irritating blare each time you turn on the blinkers, and it is extremely unlikely to make it shut up. For us, it's a major issue for the generally nice purchase Vios. Fortunately, the ones fitted in the Yaris doesn't do as such.

Cons

What happened to interior space?

While it rides serenely, the Yaris' greatest shortcoming is its absence of lodge space. There's respectable legroom in front and behind, yet shoulder room is tight, so it's best utilized as a four-seater.

In any case, the most serious issue with the Yaris' lodge isn't its absence of shoulder room, which is as yet inside satisfactory cutoff points for this section, however its absence of extra room.

You would anticipate that a city vehicle should have some sensibly measured utility space. The entryway pockets are minuscule as well. The boot is 286 liters large, significantly more modest than the Honda Jazz's 363 liters.

There's scarcely enough utility space for you to keep ordinary things like your keys, security access cards, sunglass case, telephones, or Smart Tag peruser.

Truly, there are cup holders at the lower segment of the middle stack, in addition to a middle support box, yet it actually can't coordinate the reasonableness of the Honda Jazz – which fits more than even a higher reach C-portion class hatchback.

The guiding rack, while ideal to drive, needs adaptive change, so taller drivers will think that it’s difficult to choose an ideal seating position.

Conclusion

Generally speaking, the Toyota Yaris is an energetically suggested purchase. There's no compelling reason to expound further with respect to the dramatization free proprietorship involvement in Toyota, which after-deals network is still best in class in the nation.

Normally, purchasing a Toyota implies that you are exchanging driving joy and incentive for cash for long haul dependability. In any case, with the Yaris, it's really a superior incentive for cash buy over the Mazda 2 and Honda Jazz, and it drives and rides in a way that is better than any of its adversaries as well.

Costs for the Toyota Yaris range from RM 69.576 for the section 1.5J, RM 75,479 for the mid-range 1.5E, and RM 82,475 for the reach beating 1.5G. Costs are comprehensive of SST exception, substantial until 31-December 2020.
