(2019 Toyota Yaris 1.5G Prices & Specs | Gallery) After a long absence from the Malaysian market, the 2019 Toyota Yaris is back to shake up the Honda-Jazz-dominated-segment with a loud bang. With local artists leading the marketing campaign, it is clear that Toyota is aiming at a fun lifestyle concept rather than a practical daily people mover. But car enthusiasts flocked to showrooms all the same to rediscover the hatchback, eager to see if the Toyota Yaris could live up to the Honda Jazz's sol

The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated heart of the 2019 Toyota Yaris is a familiar unit. The 2NR-FE engine is one that powers the Toyota Vios and has been in use since UMW Toyota gave the sedan an update in 2016. Back then, UMW claims that the new engine was an effort for better fuel efficiency, and the Yaris definitely proves itself to be a fuel sipping car. Mated to a CVT with seven sequential gears, the Yaris’ engine produces 107 PS and 140 Nm, 13 PS less than Honda Jazz. It’s hardly the fastest

The Toyota GR Yaris, a hot hatch that I've wanted to drive so badly ever since it was launched. Who wouldn't? It appealed to the very core of me, being a person that enjoyed, cherished and relished the simple act of driving. The GR Yaris positively celebrates it. So, when the invite came in our mailbox to sample the Toyota GR Yaris (in Sepang International Circuit no less), I yelped in delight and couldn't sleep a few nights. This was a car Toyota built for car people, honed with its racing and

Fun fact: 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. Yes, 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

We’ve compared the Honda Jazz and Toyota Yaris multiple times. But we’ve never really looked closely at the equipment list that each car has. So, we decided to go through the equipment list with a fine-tooth comb! Here’s a quick reminder of each car’s variant equipment list: For this guide, we’re comparing the top spec Toyota Yaris G with the top spec Honda Jazz V variant and the Honda Jazz Hybrid as well. In terms of safety equipment, the Yaris far outshines both Jazz V and Hybrid variants. Wit

On paper, the Toyota Vios has got it all. 7 airbags, 360-degree Panoramic View Monitor, brilliant driving experience, a supremely quiet cabin (69 dB at 110 km/h based on our tests) and more in a very attractive price starting from RM 77,200 to RM 87,300 for the range topper. But there is one deal breaker that has us halting and reaching for the Toyota Yaris brochure (which, mind you, is very similar to the Vios’) instead, and that is the very annoying blind-spot monitor beep. Yes, both the Vios

After years of absence, the Toyota Yaris made a roaring return in 2019, shaking up the B-segment hatchback market with its stylish looks and superb list of features. We use the term “roaring” because the Yaris’s comeback saw the car pioneer safety features that have never been seen on any B-segment hatchbacks - blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, 360-degree camera (panoramic view monitor) plus 7 airbags. The Yaris is now assembled in Toyota’s Bukit Raja plant. And can easily own to the

The Honda City Hatchback has been spotted on the roads, not only confirming that the rumours are correct, but also solidifies the fact that the all-new Jazz may not be launched in this region. Despite being draped in copious amount of camouflage, this is unmistakably the City Hatchback, as the front end looks just like the newly-launched City sedan. Furthermore, the rear end is similar to the leaked patent images, down to the rear wiper placement. In terms of powertrain, the upcoming City Hatchb

Over the past couple of weeks, the Toyota GR Yaris stole much of the Internet’s limelight and rightfully so. Brilliant car it may be, but with a price tag that hovers around the RM 300k mark, it’s not something for the average car buyer out there. Enter the Japan-only Toyota Yaris Cup Car. Yes, it may lack the GR badging like its 3-door sibling, but there’s still much to love about this up-and-coming race car.

But for many of us, the Yaris and Yaris Cross will remain as images or videos on our screens, as these two models are unlikely to come to Malaysia. Here's why. Wait, just how small is it?

Sales-wise, the Toyota Yaris enjoyed a relatively unchallenged 2020 in Thailand. As we opined in our article last month however, that steady lead may not last too long and it's starting to show: the Honda City Hatchback has overtaken the Yaris for units sold in February 2021. According to data gathered by Headlightmag, February saw sales of the City Hatchback spike to 2,916 units, pulling ahead of the Yaris' 1,560 cars sold. That's a 1,530-unit gap in favour of Honda, or roughly 87% more. If any

The B-segment hatchback is a pretty popular segment in Malaysia, being the first choice among fresh grads and those looking for an upgrade from a small city car like the Perodua Axia or an older car. It’s also the segment where Malaysia’s most popular car resides in, the Perodua Myvi. The Myvi has always been an icon in the hearts of Malaysians.

2021 could be a busy year for Toyota, as they recently trademarked a number of nameplates and designs in Vietnam, with the Toyota Yaris Cross being one of them. Judging from the trademark filings, the Toyota Yaris Cross could find its way to Vietnam in the near future, as the model was just introduced in Singapore a week ago.
