Why buy a used Toyota Yaris?

The Toyota Yaris offers a wallet-friendly blend of build quality and fuel efficiency. This city-friendly hatchback is incredibly easy to drive thanks to the hybrid motor's gives quick off-the-line reactions, with the 1.5-litre petrol engine joining in only when needed to give an extra burst of power. Economy can easily top 60mpg or more, with fuel economy in stop-start city traffic being especially good.

The meanest-looking Yaris you can get – or about as mean as a Yaris can ever look – is the GR Sport. This version draws inspiration from the full-fat GR Yaris hot hatch, with large alloy wheels, a butch-looking body kit and black trim details around the windows and wheels.

Owning a used Toyota Yaris

The Yaris is best suited to single drivers or couples, as the rear seats are a bit on the tight side for regular use. On the plus side, the Yaris really is tiny and all models include a reversing camera, so it's easy to squeeze into tight parking spots. Fuel economy is excellent and your other running costs should be very reasonable too, especially with the reassurance of Toyota's 10-year service-activated warranty.

Toyota Yaris FAQs

If you’re in the market for a Toyota Yaris, you’re likely to encounter two versions – the previous-generation model built up to 2019, and the current-gen version built from 2020 onwards. The newer car can be spotted by its thinner headlights and bulging wheelarches, but both are only available as five-door hatchbacks, similar in size to a Ford Fiesta, Kia Rio or Hyundai i20. You can also get an ultra-high-performance GR Yaris, which is a three-door model.

Both new and old versions of the Yaris are fractionally less than four metres long. That puts them in line with supermini rivals including the Ford Fiesta, VW Polo and Honda Jazz. Four adults will be able to fit inside in reasonable comfort – although rear knee room is limited – but five will find it quite a squeeze. The boot is large enough for the weekly food shop or a couple of cabin suitcases, but you might want a larger car if you need to transport kids, pets or clobber more frequently.

You essentially have two engine options for the Yaris, and only one if you’re looking at 2020 and newer versions. Pre-2020 Yaris cars come with either a 1.5-litre petrol engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, or a 1.5-litre petrol hybrid with an automatic gearbox. 2020 and newer Yaris cars only get the option of the 1.5-litre hybrid. The hybrid options cost a little more than the non-hybrid versions, but achieve better fuel economy.

If you’re after an easy-to-drive, relaxing car that’s perfect for cross-town jaunts, the Yaris is a top choice. The latest version is automatic-only and hybrid-only – it’s capable of driving in quiet, zero-emission mode for short periods of time. The Yaris’ hybrid system could slash your fuel costs compared to a normal petrol car. Practicality could be a little better, but the Yaris is comfortable for adults in the front seat and well-equipped too.

The hybrid technology that powers the Yaris is quite complex, but Toyota has proved that hybrids are often more reliable than petrol and diesel cars. That seems to be true of the Yaris so far, with owner surveys praising the car’s dependability.

The Toyota Yaris insurance group is either 13 or 14 out of 50, depending on the exact spec. It’s a bit higher than the last Yaris and than some other superminis because of its hybrid technology, but it’s on a par with cars like the Ford Focus and Nissan Qashqai so insurance shouldn’t be too costly.
