Toyota Yaris Hybrid Review | The Sensible Choice

[@johnh6535]

Spot on review ! I got one 2 months ago after getting a job with a 42 mile each way commute. It is managing 67mpg atm on a mostly motorway commute. Speed and comfort fine. In fact, I prefer driving it to my 2019 X3 M40i …. Which is saying something. That’s obviously a massively different car but the fact I find the Yaris The one I head for says a lot ! The X3 is a wonderful car I’ve had from new … it is just the Yaris is so easy to jump in and uses hardly any petrol.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Sounds ideal! Thanks for watching!

I'm a driving instructor using the new Yaris. I've had it now about 3 months. My learners love it, it's a doddle to drive, comfortable, nippy and I get 73 mpg on lessons. It's brilliant.

[@BuckleUpShow]

So you teach auto only?

[@leecrawley9862]

[@tectoramia-sz1lu]

We bought a new one in 2021, and it's not had to go to the dealer apart from Servicing. It's a nice car to drive and we get around 60mpg. I love the navigation when using Android Auto. You can navigate using voice commands. Since we've had the Yaris, I don't think we've had any passengers in the back, so the space is irellevant, like most other owners I would guess. They aren't cheap cars to buy, but they are super reliable.

[@BuckleUpShow]

It is a higher entry price than rivals, but to get a car equivalently spec'd by any of them you would be paying roughly the same, glad you're enjoying it

[@elmanitasdeplomo]

Been driving one for almost two weeks now and I love it. Don’t care about mpg because it’s a company car. Its fun and responsive when you floor it, even when driving 100-120kph it easily accelerates. Easy to get speeding tickets in. Also the lane assist is not annoying like in some cars and it can easily be turned off by pressing the button for a few seconds. Brilliant little machine that is a technological marvel imho.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Glad you're enjoying it, thanks for watching

[@juliemcglinchey1474]

I've down graded size wise from a 2013 opel mokka to a 2023 Yaris luna hybred. I've no regrets in the purchase at all as I had an older Yaris (2000) and the darn thing is still going strong with its new owner! Hoping this new one will be as reliable! Cannot wait to get the keys in a few weeks.

[@BuckleUpShow]

We’re sure you’ll be very happy with your purchase. Thanks for watching!

[@DomainRider]

Having moved to this from the last of the petrol 6-speed manual Yaris's - which I thought was pretty good - I found it to be a remarkable step forwards in driving comfort, agility, technology, and economy. It's easy to get 70-80 mpg, both motorway & urban. Love it!

[@BuckleUpShow]

The MPG is crazy good

[@Sellerieknolle76]

Been driving it since May and got almost nothing to complain (I'm German, that's how we praise something😁). Got the Tokyo Pop-Out Spec level plus JBL, which included basically every available option and is not available anymore (at least in Germany afaik). I especially love the HUD and the ACC. Three things I would complain a little about: - only one USB and one 12 V socket in the whole car - There is no warning before the screen wash runs empty. I thought this was standard nowadays. - You can't adjust the volume of the navigation announcements on-the-fly. You have to go deep into settings for that and there you have only 4 or 5 levels. I read it's different in the optional entertainment system with the slightly larger screen and less buttons which is available in this year's Yaris. The last point annoys me occasionally, the rest I can live with.

[@BuckleUpShow]

This could be the most German thing we’ve ever read 😂

[@camptube7621]

Swapping my Auris hybrid touring for the Design with a pano roof which isn’t available for upgrade now. The 4 year old Auris has done 80k and not had a single fault. Mileage is amazing and this will be even better. I will never go back to petrol again.

[@BuckleUpShow]

[@tectorama]

We bought a new Yaris about 18 months ago, the first brand new car we've ever bought. We have no complaints with it whatsoever. They even put in front and rear dashcams in for no extra cost. Great for driving around town, and easy to park. It is a little noisy at speed, but you can't have everything. For longer journeys we us a Lexus IS300h. To get Android Auto navigation, you need a phone with at least Android 9.. MPG will vary quite a lot depending on whether you are driving in Summer or Winter, expect mid 60's unless you have a heavy foot. Rear leg room is pretty irrelevant as it's not really a family car, they are driven by people who favour reliability over performance. Regarding EV Mode, You'll find that it's seldom that you'll be able to employ it. It'll only work when starting from a standstill, and then only when you are moving slowly.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Thanks for watching!

[@Joker-yw9hl]

Seriously considering the Yaris next year. Seems like a great little car. I have flirted with the idea of a new Sandero for all of the reasons that people ever consider a Sandero, but this Yaris looks like a trusty servant. The exceptionally high mpg and EV mode are a clincher, and I'm a sucker for the modern look. I know many people will say to just own an old second hand car with a more premium badge but in the real world this Yaris is likely better in every way. Nice review

[@Davidismynameo]

Nice review. Just a quick tip, gross vehicle weight refers to the weight of the vehicle + fuel, passengers, and cargo - the car actually weighs just under 1.1 tonne (this is called kerb weight), nearly 100kg less than a Fiesta!

[@BuckleUpShow]

Kerb weight also doesn't include battery's as they're considered fuel, so I tend to go with gross for a hybrid or EV. Also every vehicle HAS TO have a declared GVW due to the law but some manufacturers use kerb and some use dry as its up to them, its easier to be consistent with GVW.

[@Davidismynameo]

@@BuckleUpShow thanks didn't know batteries weren't included! Was wondering how it was so light despite the added battery

[@BuckleUpShow]

Ideally we would have it our own scales, I'll try and make it clearer why I'm reporting GVW in future videos

[@Grahamvfr]

@@Davidismynameo Battery only weighs around 50kgs, though, so that equivalent of 4 light passengers against 4 heavy passengers, so personally I still feel kerb weight is preferable guide.

[@alandeanz1853]

Nice review, but I think(as has been mentioned) you are mistaken to use the gross weight ( which is max payload including passengers and luggage). Battery treated as fuel? This is nonsensical as its an integrated part of the car. Actually Toyota say the new lithium-ion battery is 12kg lighter than the old NiMH one which would make it around 32Kg, its only 0.76 kwh. If the real world weight was about 1.6 tonnes, I think with just driver and car the claimed 9.6s 0-62 would be very unlikely. For reference , Pure Driving channel weighed one : 1091kg without driver, not exactly heavy..

[@BuckleUpShow]

Well, with all the being the case, the car is still very heavy on its feet. It benefits from this at a cruise where it feels like a big stable car, but loses out on a back road compared to a Ford Fiesta or Hyundai i20.

[@philipmarsden7104]

@@BuckleUpShow There is quite a difference between 1.2 tons and 1.6 tons. I found your video very informative and interesting but I cannot say I've noticed any heaviness in handling since I bought mine in February, even having driven 1300 miles in two trips, fully loaded (two of us plus a full boot with around 800 Litres of luggage) on mixed roads, M,A and Bs. Perhaps there's a difference in our driving styles.The mpg is really, really outstanding however. I can regularly get 80-100 mpg in urban traffic and those long trips averaged 62-65 mpg. I have no complaints at all about the car.

Unlike many commentators you didn't mention that it's apparently noisy on the motorway so I guess it can't be all that bad in this connection. I think it's stunningly beatiful to look at. However, in the market for a compact hybrid I can't forgive Toyota for not including a built‐in satnav - even on the topspec version. Grrrrrrrrrrrr! That omission rules it out for me completely. It's the same story on the replica Mazda 2 hybrid though folks might be interested to know that there's a big difference in wheel size, viz Toyota 16" and 17" v Mazda 15" and 16".

[@BuckleUpShow]

In my opinion it's more quiet and refined than most of its supermini rivals, if you're coming for an S-Class then yes it probably would seem noisy but coming out of a Fiesta it will seem very pleasant. Sat Nav is dead, Apple car play and Android auto is so much better than anything a car manufacturer can produce and Toyota knows it, why spend all that money developing a system that will be immediately out of date that no one will use.

Daft extra question: I know where the connecting slot is on the dashboard for the cable but where does the other end go (I'm that unkowlegable about such things)?

[@BuckleUpShow]

It should just be whatever cable you use to charge your phone at home, but specifically it's a USB-A to USB-C cable. You can find them on Amazon, any larger supermarket branch, Curry's PC World or Halfords. The cable goes into the dash at one end as you say (that's the USB-A end) and the other end just goes in your phones charging port (the USB-C end)

[@DavidHughes-op6zl]

Thanks very much indeed. I did indeed go on Amazon yesterday and ordered a half metre connection cable. When I get the vehicle (it should be arriving at Bristol Docks this very day) I hope I discover that via the relevant button on the screen device it's an essentially SIMPLE matter of tapping in the destination post code and that's it; unlike the Renault Clio E‐tech I also hope the voice‐over on the Toyota/Mazda satnav gives clear and unjumbled instructions - this latter aspect is a pain in the proverbial in the French car; if at the dealership on collection day I find that the Mazda 2 Hybrid satnav is problematical on either or both fronts I'll reject the car.

[@mactep1]

@@DavidHughes-op6zl You are not actually using Toyota's/mazdas satnav, you are going to be using a satnav app of your choosing, installed on your phone and transmitted to the cars infotainment via usb, so it is entirely up to you to choose the app you prefer, there is also no need for map updates since your phone just uses the internet for automatic updates, you should have Google maps by default, but personally i prefer waze, since it has quite a bit more functionality in AA/CP mode.

Please just look it up. Batteries are counted as ‘fuel’ for reasons beyond what our brains can comprehend. The Yaris does not weigh a mere 1065kg.

Hate this car!! Sluggish engine,CVT really annoying. Car feels like it's labouring..Mpg most disappointing of all. 45mpg regardless of how sensible I drive it. It was the mpg that mattered the most and I feel really cheated. Drove a hyundai ionique for 2 yrs. Lovely big car,and delivered 60mpg. Never again. I'm not stuck in a PCP deal with a 23 plate.

[@BuckleUpShow]

For most people this car will return 60 mpg without much difficulty, sounds like yours might have some sort of engine issue

Woo. What if you had kids an a, real job?

[@BuckleUpShow]

Unsure what "having a real job" means, but if you're looking for a hybrid Supermini that has space for kids I'd take a look at the Honda Jazz

Sell the kids, buy the car 👍

If we were going to those lengths for a Toyota it would have to be a manual Supra at least

Was this a car review of a add for your shampoo the number of time you swept your hair out of your face. Can you drive safety while doing all of that?

Ah well fortunately if you are capable of sitting for 20 minutes without feeling the need to criticise other peoples style decisions there is one.

Sorry mate,,,,,, great review but you don't look as if your old enough to give reviews on cars not the most experienced review but still OK just cool it down a bit, think you trying to copy the guy from car wow doesn't work 👍👍

Hi John. Just because you, presumably, feel that you've waited too long to do anything with your life doesn't mean the rest of us have to wait around (until whatever age you deem is acceptable to be a motoring journalist?) to pursue our passion so you don't have to feel inadequate 💋
