Toyota Yaris (2011 – 2020) At A Glance
Fairly big boot by class standards, tempting hybrid option, Toyota has an epic reliability record.
Fairly uninspiring to drive, cabin doesn’t feel very posh, equipment levels are very mixed.
If you're looking for the newer model, you'll need our Toyota Yaris review.
Compared with newer small hatchback rivals, the Toyota Yaris feels past its best. However, it might still make sense for those who aren’t bothered about such things. If it’s far more important to you that your hatchback is easy to drive and incredibly reliable, then the Yaris will suit you down to the ground. And if you fancy a hybrid drivetrain in your small car, it has that covered, too.
Think back to 2011, if you can. That was a long time ago, and the world was a very different place. David Cameron hadn’t long been appointed Prime Minister, the charts were being monopolised by a newly-formed band named One Direction, and although most of the fighting had finished, the Iraq war was still yet to wrap up fully.
Another event that occurred in 2011 - albeit one of less historical or cultural significance - was the release of the third-generation Toyota Yaris.
By the standards of the day, it looked very appealing compared with rivals. Sharply styled, solidly built, impressively roomy and practical, and with a well-earned reputation for faultless reliability. Things looked bright.
Like we said, though, the world was a very different place back then, and things move on. Things including most of the Yaris’s rivals.
Gradually, over the years that followed, each one was replaced with a newer offering that added more driver appeal, more quality, more technology, more luxury equipment, and more of, well, everything. Meanwhile, the Yaris remained in service for a full nine years before eventually being replaced, and by the end of that considerable amount of time, it had been left way behind.
Judged by more modern standards, then, the Yaris is very mediocre in a vast number of areas. It’s neither particular fun nor particularly comfortable to drive, while its naturally aspirated engines don't feel particularly punchy compared with the turbocharged equivalents in rivals.
The cabin is no longer particularly roomy by class standards, and the interior feels rather dated and bland compared with newer, posher-feeling rivals.
Was it particularly cheap or particularly well equipped? Well, no, not particularly. Was it particularly refined or particularly impressive on safety?
Again, not particularly. Yes, it still had its impressive reputation for reliability to fall back on, a reputation that had since been justified by the Yaris’s impressive performance in this area, but in every other area, the Yaris had become particularly unremarkable.
For that reason, it’ll suit somebody looking for a dependable runabout that’ll get them from A to B without conking out. However, if you want your transport to have any degree of charm or polish, there are better choices out there.

Toyota Yaris (2011 – 2020) handling and engines
- Engines range from 1.0 VVT-i to 1.8 VVT-i
- Readers report Real MPG to be between 33–75 mpg
Toyota Yaris (2011 – 2020): Handling and ride quality
Most versions of the Yaris have a rather soft suspension, which does a decent job of soaking up smaller bumps and ripples in the road, but bigger bumps and potholes can be felt thudding into the cabin. The hybrid has a slightly firmer suspension in order to handle its extra weight, but it’s no less comfortable over bumps and ruts.
In fact, because it controls vertical body movements better than the other versions, which can feel rather floaty over crests and dips, the hybrid is actually more comfortable if anything.
The GR Sport version, meanwhile, has a sports suspension that takes things too far on the stiffness front, and this version feels a lot more jittery.
Grip levels are adequate, while the body leans over more in corners and the steering is slower to react and gives you less feedback. The hybrid has skinnier low-resistance tyres that make it feel marginally less secure in corners, while the GR Sport’s firmer suspension makes it feel a little more eager to turn, although it still isn’t a hugely sporty experience.
Toyota Yaris (2011 – 2020): Engines
The engines on offer changed throughout the Yaris’ long lifespan, so there’s plenty to cover here. We never got to try a couple of the early ones, a 69PS 1.0-litre petrol and a 90PS 1.4 diesel.
We did try the 99PS 1.3 petrol, though, and it was perky enough around town and didn’t struggle too much to keep up with motorway traffic, although it never felt that quick. This engine was later replaced by a 1.5-litre petrol, which we never got to try, but although it was significantly cleaner than the 1.3, its performance figures were very similar.
The version of interest to most buyers, though, will be the hybrid, which combines the 1.5-litre engine with an electric motor.
Again, it’s not what you’d call brisk, and you might be left wanting a little bit more go on the motorway, but around town and at more moderate speeds, it feels reasonably responsive.
Keep your accelerator inputs gentle, and you can roll along at low urban speeds under electric-only propulsion for much of the time. Whichever engine you pick, though, it’s worth noting that newer rivals with small-capacity turbocharged engines feel a good bit perkier.
Toyota Yaris (2011 – 2020): Safety
The amount of safety kit your Yaris has will greatly depend on how old it is. Later versions have measures including seven airbags, tyre pressure monitoring and Isofix child seat mounting points, and also come as standard with a suite of technologies called Toyota Safety Sense.
This includes driver assistance technologies such as automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, speed limit display and automatic high-beam assistance for the headlights.
All good stuff. However, this package was an optional extra on earlier cars, and not offered at all on pre-2015 cars. However, the Yaris was tested twice over the years by Euro NCAP, achieving the full five-star score on both occasions, so it must’ve been doing something right where safety was concerned.

Toyota Yaris (2011 – 2020): Practicality
There’s plenty of headroom in the back, but legroom is rather tighter; tall adults should fit, but they might find their knees pressing into the front seats. The cabin is too narrow for three adults to sit side-by-side, too, but a pair of child seats will fit in the outer rear seats, and there are Isofix points to attach them securely.
The boot is a good size by class standards, so you’ll carry marginally more than you will in many rivals. The opening has a significant load lip that you’ll need to haul heavy items over before dropping them in, but that applies to pretty much every car in the class.
Many come with a moveable boot floor designed to flatten it out, but the Yaris doesn’t. This also means that when you drop the 60-40 split folding rear seats to extend your cargo-carrying capacity, you’re left with a large step in the floor. The backrests don’t quite lie flat, either.
Toyota Yaris (2011 – 2020): Quality and finish
Most versions have a decidedly grey, monotone colour scheme that makes the cabin look very sombre, so you won’t feel much in the way of joie-de-vivre.
The finishes on display are also rather more functional than feelsome. There are some soft-touch materials on the doors and the top of the dashboard, but everything else is fashioned out of hard, unappealing plastic. It also feels very solidly assembled and hard-wearing, but compared with rivals, it looks rather dull and doesn’t feel awfully posh.
Toyota Yaris (2011 – 2020): Infotainment
Early entry-level versions got a basic stereo with six speakers, a CD player, and FM/AM radio, but we never encountered a car with this fitted, so we can’t tell you how easy or difficult it was to use.
Most other versions came with Toyota Touch, which was a system that added Bluetooth and a 7.0-inch touchscreen interface, while higher spec versions incorporated sat-nav and later versions added DAB radio, although the system never supported Apple Carplay or Android Auto.
The system isn’t all that easy to use. The on-screen menus are long and complicated, while the graphics are fuzzy and look rather dated. Screen transitions can also be slow, and the screen occasionally fails to register a jab of your finger. By the standards of the latest systems, it all feels rather old-school.
Toyota Yaris (2011 – 2020) value for money
Toyota Yaris (2011 – 2020): Prices
The hybrid versions maybe looked a little steep, but that’s to be expected due to the extra hardware and technology they’re carrying, and they’re also one of the most affordable hybrids on the market.
At the time of writing, the next-generation Yaris was just being launched, but this generation was still continuing to be sold as a brand new car. Prices began at less than £16,000 for the 1.5 petrol Icon and rose to more than £20,000 for the Excel Hybrid.
The cheapest Hybrid available checked in at around £18,500. Monthly finance bills don’t look too steep, either. At the time of writing, Toyota was offering the 1.0-litre Icon model for less that £185 per month on a four-year PCP following a customer deposit of less than £1600. That represents a deposit contribution of £1000 from Toyota, and the deal also included 0% interest.
Resale values are about average for the class,, but happily for used buyers, the car has been around long enough for prices to fall a considerable distance. You’ll find plenty of early cars (with surprisingly low mileages) for less than £5000, while three-year/60,000-mile examples check in at around £7000.
Toyota Yaris (2011 – 2020): Running Costs
Comparison between the early engines and later engines is a little bit tricky here. Early versions were tested under the old NEDC regulations, while the later cars were tested according to newer WLTP procedures that were designed to be more representative of real-world driving conditions despite these tests still being conducted in a laboratory.
To give you some idea of the difference, the Yaris hybrid was tested under both regimes achieving a figure of around 80mpg in NEDC tests and slightly less than 60mpg in WLTP ones. For what it’s worth, the diesel and the 1.3 petrol had NEDC figures of 70mpg and 54mpg, respectively, while the 1.0 petrol and 1.5 petrol had WLTP figures of around 49mpg and 47mpg, respectively.
Insurance groupings for the Yaris range between group two at the bottom of the scale to group 12 at the top.
If you didn’t know, insurance groupings range between one and 50, group one being the cheapest and group 50 being the most expensive, so the versions of the Yaris that are cheapest to insure (the 1.0-litre petrols) are some of the cheapest cars there are for insurance. Meanwhile, it’s the diesels and the hybrids that sit at the top of the scale, but even these will have very affordable premiums.
Reliability shouldn’t be a worry for any Toyota buyer, because the brand’s reputation for mechanical dependability is the envy of the motor industry. If anything goes wrong, you’ll be seriously unlucky.

During the Yaris’s long lifespan, Toyota restructured the trim levels several times over, and also periodically introduced limited-run special editions. At last count, we were aware of no less than 25 different versions over the years, but there could well be more.
Obviously, we can’t go through all of them here, so we’ll concentrate on the later versions available at the end of the car’s life.
At this point in time, Icon was the entry-level trim, and it provided pretty much everything you need, really, including alloy wheels, front foglamps, electrically adjusting door mirrors, remote locking, electric front windows, cruise control, automatic wipers, manual air-con, a leather steering wheel and a reversing camera (although strangely, no version gets parking sensors as standard).
The Y20 version added a whole bunch of styling goodies inside and out, but nothing in the way of extra luxury kit. Excel trim gives you part-leather upholstery (full leather was optional), two-zone climate control, automatic headlights, electric rear windows, power fling door mirrors and keyless entry.
GR Sport trim again added lots of racy styling accessories, and a sports suspension, but nothing else. It’s worth noting, though, that on earlier examples, things like alloy wheels and air-con were missing from the entry-level trims, so if you’re considering an older car, it’s worth upgrading to a mid-spec car if you can.

Economy 65.35mpg for 1.5 to 75.3mpg for the 1.33 CVT-7 with stop/start. The 1.3 manual is capable of 68.19mpg. Now 3,885mm long x 1,695mm wide x 1,500mm high.
July 2011
Yaris launched in UK
Working with a five-speed manual transmission, the latest version of the 998cc unit generates 68bhp at 6,000rpm and maximum torque of 93Nm at 3,600rpm. Fuel consumption has been improved by four per cent to 58.9mpg and CO2emissions are down by seven per cent to 111g/km.
The 1.33-litre Dual VVT-i engine is also light and compact, with a small bore and long stroke to give a very high power-to-weight ratio. It generates 98bhp at 6,000rpm and, at the peak of a gentle torque curve, 125Nm at 4,000rpm. When matched to the new Multidrive S transmission, fuel economy is 56.5mpg and CO2emissions are 118g/km.
Multidrive S, Toyota’s latest continuously variable transmission (CVT), features a manual override, sequential seven-step mode that the driver can operate using either the gearshift lever or paddle shifts on the steering wheel.

Toyota Yaris facelifted
To share the look of the Aygo, the Yaris integrates a distinctive cross shape, centred on the front emblem, which separates the new-look upper and lower grilles.
At the rear there are restyled light clusters fitted with LEDs. The car’s overall stance has been improved through detailed changes, including the integration of a diffuser in the rear bumper and a reshaped licence plate surround.
Interior changes include greater feeling of roominess and dynamic appeal; higher levels of perceived quality; and more choice in terms of colours and equipment.
Under the skin, the suspension has been revised to improve both comfort and handling. Noise levels have also been reduced. The range of powertrains for the UK is unchanged, with 1.0 and 1.33-litre petrol and 1.4 D-4D diesel engines, and Yaris’s full hybrid system.
The upper instrument panel has been made thinner, giving the dashboard a stronger horizontal line, and the upper surface of the driver’s instrument binnacle has been restyled to give a slimmer appearance. In conjunction with these changes, the door panel has also been redesigned with a more fluid look, a larger soft-touch area and greater functionality.
The 2014 Yaris is available with four powertrains – two petrol, one diesel and a hybrid. The hybrid system, which already accounts for more than a quarter all Yaris sales in the UK, benefits from adjustments which have brought itsemissions down further, from 79 to 75g/km. Extremely fuel efficient at more than 85.6mpg.
The 1.33 VVT-i petrol and 1.4 D-4D diesel engines have undergone secondary modifications aimed at reducing noise and vibration. The diesel benefits from a new torque road and both feature better insulation for the exhaust system.
The three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine has undergone significant changes to improve its performance, reduce emissions and cut noise and vibration levels.

Quiet, refined, unstressed and reliable, offering 75g/km CO 2 emissions and ECDC combined fuel economy of 85.6mpg. The low emissions mean no annual road tax (VED) to pay and, for London drivers, temporary exemption from the Congestion Charge.
The Yaris Sport Hybrid Sport additionally has rear privacy glass, 16-inch alloy wheels, rear spoiler and a rear pillar treatment that creates a floating roof effect. Other key features include climate control, power windows all round and the Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system with DAB radio, Bluetooth, touchscreen control and rear view camera.

August 2015
Toyota Safety Sense now available on Yaris
Providing a laser-controlled Pre-Collision System that warns the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle ahead (Forward Collision Warning) and readies Pre-Crash Brake Assist to deliver emergency braking as soon as the brake pedal is pressed. Should the driver fail to take action after the warning, the system will initiate Autonomous Emergency Braking to reduce speed by about 19mph, potentially bringing the car to a stop, to prevent a collision or reduce the force of impact.
The Forward Collision Warning works at speeds between 10 and 86mph, when the relative speed between the Toyota and the car ahead is greater than 10mph. The Pre-Crash Brake Assist functions at speeds between 19 and 49mph, with relative vehicle speeds greater than 19mph. For Autonomous Emergency Braking, the speed range is from seven to 49mph.
Toyota Safety Sense is available now as an option on all Yaris (apart from Active) and costs £400.

September 2018
Toyota Yaris GR Sport launched
Inspired by the styling of the Yaris GRMN, but with the 1.5 VVTi hybrid and on sale from late 2018.
The GRMN-inspired modifications are focused on the suspension, giving the car engaging handling and responsiveness. It uses Sachs Performance shock absorbers similar to those fitted to the GRMN and a solid (rather than hollow) anti-roll bar to gain extra rigidity.
Black 17-inch cast alloy wheels are exclusive to the GR Sport, but are fitted with the same Bridgestone Potenza RE50 205/45R17 tyres as the GRMN model. Care has been taken to limit the increase in vehicle mass to less than 5kg by restricting the model’s feature options.
Exterior styling follows that of the Yaris GRMN, including a black bi-tone roof with rear spoiler. There are piano black door mouldings, a black honeycomb grille, black door mirror housings and black front fog light surrounds. The headlights are unique to the GR Sport, with black interior detailing.
In the cabin more Gazoo Racing influence, with GR-branded sports front seats, upholstered in black Ultrasuede with contrast white stitching and white inserts. When the driver presses the start button, the multi-information TFT display comes to life with the GR logo.
September 2018
Toyota Yaris Y20 model introduced
The revised Yaris range will launch with an initial production run of 1998 Launch Edition Y20 models featuring gold paintwork similar to that used by the first Yaris back in 1998, but with the contemporary twist of a bi-tone dark grey roof.
These will be followed by full-production Y20 models that will sit at the heart of the 2019 Yaris model range, offering a strong value proposition for customers. This, too, will have a bi-tone finish, matching silver, white or black bodywork colours with a dark grey roof.
The exterior styling uses further dark grey features to distinguish the Y20 within the Yaris line-up. These include, 16-inch grey and machined-face 10-spoke alloy wheels, and grey side mouldings, front grille, door mirror casings and fog light surrounds (with chrome detailing). The Y20 also sports dark-tinted rear privacy glass and special Y20 badging at the rear.
The interior extends the dark grey theme, applied to the centre console, steering wheel inserts and new chequer-pattern fabric upholstery. Satin chrome air vent, audio speaker and meter surrounds and gear knob trim, black carpet mats with silver edging and Y20 badging on the instrument panel and front setbacks further enhance the quality feel of the interior.
January 2019
Revised Toyota Yaris line-up announced for 2019
Toyota has added the previously announced GR Sport and Y20 models to its Yaris range, while the rest of the line-up is now available with extra equipment.
Based on the Yaris Icon, the introduction of the new Yaris Y20 is led by a limited edition version distinguished by a bi-tone paint design featuring the original gold metallic colour Toyota used to launch the original Yaris model in 1998. This is combined with a contemporary dark grey finish for the roof, pillars and door mirror housings. Just 100 cars are available for UK customers.
Beyond this special version, the Y20 grade will be central to the Yaris range, including a bi-tone finish as standard, with a choice of gold, black, silver or white bodywork. The impact of the car’s styling is heightened by rear privacy glass, 16-inch alloy wheels with a machined/dark grey contrast finish and dark grey fog light surrounds, side sills and front grille, plus Y20 badging.
For 2019, the Yaris Icon Tech has a revised equipment specification that includes rear parking sensors in place of the previous front sensor system. Toyota Touch 2 with Go, including navigation, remains a key feature of the Icon Tech. This model is available with all powertrain options: 1.0 and 1.5-litre petrol manual, 1.5-litre petrol CVT automatic and 1.5-litre self-charging hybrid.
Where the Yaris Excel is concerned, the model becomes exclusively a self-charging hybrid version. New features include smart entry and door mirrors with an auto-folding function. This increases the car’s already impressive equipment portfolio, which boasts 16-inch black/machined alloys, automatic air conditioning, LED rear lights and daytime running lights, power windows front and rear, black side sills and part-leather seat upholstery. A panoramic roof option is also available.
The entry-level Yaris Active is unchanged from 2018. Available with either a 1.0-litre petrol or 1.5-litre self-charging hybrid powertrain, it comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense (Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert and Road Sign Assist), rain-sensing wipers, power-adjustable heated door mirrors and front power windows.
The Icon grade models (1.0 and 1.5-litre manual, 1.5-litre petrol automatic and 1.5-litre hybrid) add 15-inch alloy wheels, cruise control with automatic speed limiter, front fog lights, Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system with DAB, reversing camera, leather steering wheel and 4.2-inch colour TFT multi-information display. The Toyota Safety Sense package further includes Automatic High Beam, while the hybrid version also comes with automatic air conditioning, push-button start and leather parking brake trim. These equipment features are also included in the new Yaris Y20 specification.
What to watch out for
Two engine failures of 2011 Yaris 1.4D-4D purchased in May 2013 with 40k miles. First engine failure after 2 months required new short engine. 2nd engine failure in July 2014, same problem, lots of white smoke, short engine replaced again for 2nd time in 38 months life of car.
05-09-2015:Service light spanner on dash coming on and off at irregular intervals in 2011 Yaris 1.4 D-4D, couples with drop in mpg. Owner took it to Toyota dealer, who found a code for high oil level. Car has done over 18,000 miles in the past year alone and the DPF is only showing as 44% used, according the Toyota garage.
22-02-2016:Problem reported with Multidrive S CVT where the gearbox briefly changed down and then back up when the revs rose on a level road at constant speed of no more than 40 mph. It happened several times over a couple of hours and since then, no problem.
09-03-2016:2015 Toyota Yaris 1.4 D-4D needed a forced DPF regeneration and oil change at 18,000 miles, costing £275. Might not have been actively regenerating, and this might be because owner filled it with Millers longlife ACEA C2 5W30 instead of the correct 0W30 at the last oil change. Problem occurred despite almost all mileage on motorway on 800 mile road trips at 2,000rpm.
03-08-2016:Another report of DPF problems with the Yaris 1.4 D-4D, this time twice in 50,000 miles in a Yaris used for driving school work. Steering column universal joint has also needed to be replaced twice due to driving school abuse.
20-08-2016:DPF regeneration problems reported with 27k mile 4 year old Toyota Yaris 1.4 D-4D.
14-10-2016:Further report of DPF problems, this time with an independently serviced 28,000 mile 2012/62 Yaris D-4D: " Hi It went back to Toyota who did several regenerations on it and the engine management light went out. 29 days later it came back on despite me having driven 1,599 miles in that time." Toyota is now questioning the independent service that owner had done prior to all of this a happening. New DPF estimated at £800.
28-05-2017:Hot starting problem reported on 9,000 mile 2016 Toyota Yaris 1.3 CVT. When the car has been driven anything over 10 miles, parked and left for half an hour or so the engine is very difficult to start. It starts eventually but after many turns.
03-08-2017:Complaint that on a new 2017 model Toyota Yaris hybrid the left-hand indicator stalk does not self-cancel.
27-03-2018:Problems reported with the mapping of the satnav of a 2017 Yaris Hybrid Excel: Someties gets an overspeed warning on roads where the driver knows he is under the limit and, living on the coast, the satnav sometimes shows the car as in the sea.
05-07-2018:Report of 'anti-trap' electric window mechanism on new hired Toyota Yaris hybrid failing, trapping the passenger's arm and refusing to release.
02-08-2018:R eport of two issues with 2012 Toyota Yaris 1.33 CVT now at 65k miles. The offside front coil spring snapped, happily replaced under an extended Toyota warranty. But also has keyless entry and go which is playing up. The central locking has been malfunctioning with symptoms that include unlocking some doors and not others (completely at random). When in the vehicle we can hear the central locking "clicking" for a brief period as if something is slipping. As yet dealer has been unable to replicate this so not yet fixed.
11-12-2018:Report of 2011 Toyota Yaris 1.4D-4D showing a yellow light which on diagnostic by local garage said fuel errors. Mechanic has changed all filters, cleaned the diesel tank and cleared the errors. But when the car is driven it "pulls" and then loses all power. Suspect EGR and or DPF.
24-05-2019:Report of clutch thrust bearing failure on 2012 Toyota Yaris 1.33 SR at fairly low mileage, mostly suburban use. Replacement thrust bearing and clutch £1,000 at outer London Toyota dealer.
