Toyota Yaris

The Toyota Yaris is the practical, affordable step into Toyota sedan ownership in Pakistan. It is locally assembled, comes with a 1.3-litre or 1.5-litre engine, and offers a spacious cabin for its size, which makes it popular for city commuting and small families.

Toyota Yaris key specifications

Specifications are compiled from published Pakistan listings and manufacturer information. They can vary by variant and model year, so please confirm the exact specification with our team before you decide.

Exterior and design

The Yaris is a compact sedan with a design that resembles the older Xli and GLi but is a little more aggressive, with a small front grille. Halogen headlamps are standard, daytime running lights and fog lamps appear on top trims, rear LED lamps are standard and chrome garnish is added on the top three variants.

Interior, space and comfort

The cabin is clean and simple, with a 6.8-inch touchscreen on the top two trims and a 3-line LCD on lower trims. The speaker count rises from two to four to six by trim. It seats five and the boot is about 476 litres. Rear space is a highlight for its size, while interior plastics and fit-finish are basic.

Engine and performance

The 16-valve DOHC engines are tuned for smooth, economical city driving. The CVT variants have a sport sequential mode for a more engaged feel on open roads. It is not a performance car, but it is easy to drive and cheap to run.

Ride and handling

The Yaris is easy to drive in town and turns well at low speed. Highway performance is more modest and the engine is not built for sporty driving. Some reviews mention noticeable body roll in corners.

Real-world fuel economy

Estimates are about 12 to 14 km/l in the city and 15 to 16 km/l on the highway, with a 42-litre tank. One owner reports a little over 15 km/l.

Safety

Traction control, vehicle stability control, hill-start assist, ABS with EBD and brake assist, immobilizer and key-reminder warning. Airbag count varies by trim, and the rear camera and parking sensors are on top variants.

Technology and features

Automatic climate control and a 6.8-inch touchscreen on the top two variants, navigation, push start and driving modes on higher trims, steering-wheel controls, Bluetooth, AUX and two USB ports.

Maintenance, parts, resale and warranty

Local spare parts are widely available and routine maintenance is inexpensive, although imported body parts can cost more. The used-car market for the Yaris is active and the Toyota badge supports resale. Official Toyota Pakistan warranty and support apply; please confirm the duration with our team.

Main rivals

Honda City is the main rival and is more spacious with better mileage according to published comparisons. Proton Saga is smaller, and Changan Alsvin offers more power and features but less size and tank capacity.
