The Toyota Yaris has been known for its great in-cabin comfort levels, with the amount of space and comfort comparable to that of the entry-level sedans. The space inside the cabin, especially at the rear, is massively impressive for a car of this size, while at the same time, the seats do offer great cushioning and under-thigh support.
For a Toyota hatchback, which was infamously known for its dull styling, the Toyota Yaris looks fresh, modern and aggressive. The busy front end does add a lot of character to the Yaris’s overall design with bolder front grille and sleek headlamps, while at the same time, the long wheelbase and aggressive rear-end styling do manage the car to look big.
While the Toyota Yaris looks fresh and modern on the outside, the interior cabin design simply lacks the wow factor initiated by the exterior design. The cabin looks a tad too simple and frills-free for a car of this category, and the dated design and lack of many new modern features make it feel dated on the inside.The Toyota Yaris S is powered by a 1.5-litre 107 PS petrol engine, which sounds big and powerful on paper. However, on the road, the engine doesn’t feel as powerful as it reads and the flat power delivery might turn off those who prefer to be on the driver’s seat most of the times.
Toyota Yaris price starts from ₱973,000 for base variant 1.3 E CVT available with DP as low as ₱180000 and MA ₱16727 (60) on 28 July 2021, while the top-spec variant 1.5 S CVT costs ₱1.114 Million.

As is the case with most of the cars from Toyota, its premium hatchback, the Toyota Yaris too is classified under the reliable species. While it is not a hot seller like its smaller brother, Wigo, the Yaris hatchback still brings in the mayo for Toyota. It is the only choice Toyota offers as a B-segment offering. The car competes with the Honda Jazz as well as the Suzuki Baleno. The vehicle you see on these pages got a facelift earlier this year but looks significantly revamped. There is a choice of five colours - Freedom White, Gray Metallic, Attitude Black Mica, Orange Metallic, and Citrus Mica Metallic. All youthful colors there. So, without further ado, here is the Toyota Yaris review.
The design flourish continues on the inside too. The Vios-inspired instrument cluster has given way to an Optitron meter from the Corolla Altis. The seats have a new fabric while the touchscreen infotainment has been retained from the outgoing version. The new Toyota Yaris’ music interface is a bit laggy and could have done with better graphics as well. The automatic climate control system works well and cools the cabin within seconds. Space at the front is good enough, however, the steering wheel has limited adjustment. There is no telescopic functionality and this might prove to be a problem for shorter drivers.
The back seats too are comfortable for three. However, the seat back is a bit too relaxed and the sloping roofline eats into headroom. If you’re above 6ft in height, then you will find yourself cooped in the car. Boot space is good and if you tumble the second-row bench, it becomes even better. After all, the wheelbase of 2,550 mm is more than the aforementioned competition.
Build quality is typical Toyota - taut. We like the way the controls are all laid out logically. We also wish Toyota could have added more buttons on the steering console to make things easier for the driver.
The 2018 Toyota Yaris looks like an all-new model. Compared to the pre-facelift model, this one has a bolder air dam and a small grille. The peeled headlights nearly touch the Toyota badge in the centre. Toyota has made use of projector headlights which is pretty much the norm for all the cars in this category. Move over to the side and you will notice the new 15-inch alloys as well as floating roof mockup at the rear. The tail lights look like the one from the Corolla Altis. Overall, the Toyota Yaris facelift is a mini Corolla than the mini-Vios it should be. Isn’t that a good thing though? In terms of dimensions, Toyota Yaris measures 4,145 x 1,730 x 1,500 mm in the length, width and height department. Unfortunately, there is no TRD version available as of now. Did we also mention that the facelift brought along fresh bumpers at the front and back.
The Toyota Yaris rides on MacPherson strut with stabiliser in the front and a torsion beam type with stabiliser at the back. The chassis has been tuned for ride comfort more than handling. If you check it, you will realise that the 2018 Yaris facelift, has dropped some of the harshness off its ride quality. It still rides firm but is far better in compliance when it comes to the potholes or road irregularities. We also like the handling. It is not exciting but is safe enough. You can take corners at wee bit better speeds than you would in the pre-facelift model. The steering is a bit heavy but maintains its heaviness at high speeds as well. The turning radius of 5.2 meters is conservative by large hatchback standards.
Ground clearance of 160 mm is more than enough to tackle what the everyday Manila road will throw at you. However, load the car up and the suspension sags a bit. You got to be a tad slower on speed humps if the car has a full complement of passengers and their luggage.
Like in other regions, in PH, Toyota offers two engine choices with its B-segment contender. The 1.3-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is codenamed 1NR FE. It makes 99 PS of power at 6,000 rpm and 123 Nm at 4,400 rpm. The bigger 1.5-litre petrol motor makes only 107 PS but has a significantly more 140 Nm of torque. While the smaller motor can be had with a 5-speed manual and CVT, the latter is the sole choice for the 1.5-litre engine. The fuel tank capacity for both is 42 litres.
Both the engines just about seem adequate for the job. They aren’t rev happy. However, the facelift has got in a bit more of refinement to both. It seems as if Toyota has put in more sound deadening materials under the hood. We also hear that the laminated glass used in the vehicle is also sound absorbing. It also acts as a heat repellent.
For the efficiency factor, the Toyota Yaris facelift will deliver around 15 kmpl if you are light footed with the 1.3 engine. The CVT trim will give slightly less mileage though. The 1.5 engine claims around 14 kmpl.
Safety has always been a highlight for Toyota vehicles and the Yaris hatchback is no different. Seven airbags including one for the driver’s knee are standard across the range. There is also Vehicle Stability Control on offer. ABS with EBD and Brake Assist are also part of the standard fare. Toyota also gives ISOFIX child seat mounts with the Yaris. The Euro NCAP has given the Yaris four stars out of five as far as crash tests are concerned.
We like the fact that everything is standard if you check the Toyota Yaris specifications as far as safety is concerned.
If you are on the lookout for a safe point A to point B car which can also do the occasional highway run, then don’t look beyond the Toyota Yaris. It will do everything you ask out of it without a fuss. Except perhaps competing on the race track. It has good efficiency to boot as well and the Toyota service quality too is top notch. What however is a bummer is the price tag. The Toyota Yaris price in the Philippines starts from Php 875,000. That’s a bit steep considering the competition has something to offer right from 600,000. If you can afford it, go for the Toyota or else there are cheaper options available in the market.
I am simply in love with the looks of this hatchback. The Yaris is probably one of the best-looking hatchbacks ever produced by Toyota in my opinion. The modern design of this car is perfectly accentuated by the crease lines. There is enormous comfort inside the cabin too, as you can move in your seat with ease without bumping your
The Yaris is miles ahead of its competitors in terms of cabin comfort and ride quality. I use my Yaris to travel with family over long distances and never once have we experienced any issues with respect to the space inside the cabin. Being a tall man myself, I find it quite easy to sit anywhere in the Yaris as
In order to understand the strength of the Toyota Yaris one needs to own this stylish Hatchback. After owning the Toyota Yaris I actually felt the superiority of this car in terms of features as well as its mileage. I own this car for almost eight months and for this time I have been using it frequently and so far
To be very honest, if you don't own a Toyota Yaris you will never understand how good it actually feels to have both features and mileage together. Atleast I can say that this car never let me down even for once in this whole eight months while using it. The car handling is so smooth making it efficient and reliable
I was in dire need of a good compact daily commuter. So when my friends and colleagues suggested the Toyota Yaris, I decided to give it a try. After the first test drive I have been sold and even after driving the car for almost four months I am still a huge fan. The cabin is very spacious in spite
When it comes to hatchbacks, I would always prefer models that are around the PHP 1million mark. Hatchbacks are basically small and compact and being 5.11 height, it might be uncomfortable. So, this Toyota Yaris is the perfect fit for me. The cabin is extremely comfortable for tall occupants and the number of features for the infotainment system makes it
The Yaris is an ideal hatchback for the urban commuter like me. I use it frequently to commute to work or to travel with my family. The cabin comfort is very good, however, the cabin is not as modern or attractive as the exterior of this hatchback. It feels pretty outdated for a modern hatchback. Nevertheless, I prefer to put
I have always loved the Honda City and was determined that I would buy it as my first car. But then, after the launch of the Toyota Yaris, I changed my mind completely. The Yaris is (according to me) the best-looking car in the segment and has features to complement it also. I love the way the Yaris hatchback uses
Yaris has a sporty look which I appreciate the most in the car. The front has been redesigned with a lowered grille, cornered headlight having LED lamps, and bottom fog lamps. Under the hood, I have the 4-cylinder, in-line 16-valve engine with a CVT transmission system that provides a 107 PS maximum output power. To be very frank, I couldn’t
Toyota offers an interesting enough feature with great mileage in the car called Toyota Yaris. A stylish modern sedan. The seven-inch touch screen on the dashboard and premium LED headlights on the front make this car a perfect blend of the modern and stylish sedan. The car is available in a 1.5-liter petrol four-cylinders dual variable valve timing intelligence unit
