All New Toyota Yaris Hybrid 2021 | walkaround & How to use features Explained
Toyota's Fiesta-rival is newer, more economical, and just possibly a little bit smarter than the Blue Oval's iconic supermini.

Both are the bestsellers of their parent company's range in the UK, and both offer glimmers of fun in what is quite a grey Supermini marketplace.

This new Yaris has had quite the kick up backside from the styling department. Compared with the old model, there's a more aggressive nose, and a lower, more supermini-like stance. Banished is the tallboy JDM special look of the old Yaris.

Unlike with old models, the new Yaris is only available as a five-door hybrid automatic. If you want a three-door manual you'll have to go for the hench GR Yaris - how's that for a deciding factor?
Let's talk about the propulsion. Toyota's been building hybrids since 1997, and you know what? It's pretty good at it.

Well, we mean, the old Yaris left a lot to be desired, but this latest 'self-charging' drive system is brilliant. Quiet, smooth, and of course, hugely economical. Official WLTP is 68.9mpg (up from 48.7mpg of the old car), and we reckon MPG in the sixties is achievable for an awful lot of people who mainly crawl around in stop-start town traffic.

The Yaris is an all e-CVT affair. It ain't half bad either (more on that later). While Toyota reckons that a 1.0-litre non-hybrid might come to the UK in the next two to three years.
Let's talk trim levels. Four standard trims will be available, plus, a Launch Edition to kick things off. Launch Edition specs have become de rigueur for car makers. You know the formula. Take car. Add everything carmaker has in parts bin. Throw on special edition colour. Set astronomical price.

The Yaris is no different. Launch Edition spec cars cost £24,005. Or £1730 more than a Ford Fiesta ST-2...

Still, the regular grades are a lot more on the money. Icon is your basic spec. But it still gets a seven-inch infotainment screen, reversing camera, and alloy wheels.

Design spec adds different alloys, a bigger infotainment screen, and wait for it, electric rear windows.

Dynamic models get 17-inch alloys, a JBL infotainment system, and a push button start.

Excel is regular top-spec. This gets blind spot monitoring, auto braking, and a panoramic roof.
