Toyota Yaris Pakistan Detailed Overview & Review:

In Pakistan, Toyota Yaris replaced the Toyota Corolla old Models XLI and GLI 1.3 while as per details due to increasing competition in Pakistan Yaris is majorly introduced to compete against the Honda City and its aspire variants and more likely the upcoming Proton saga as well.

Engine and Power:

Toyota Yaris is available with 2 different configurations in Pakistan 1NR-FE 1.3 Liter engine SFI VVT-i (sequential multi-port fuel injector) produces 97.8hp@6000rpm with torque 123nm@4200rpm paired with either 5-speed manual or 7-speed CVT transmission. 2NR-FE 1.5 Liter SFI VVT-I produces 105.9hp@6000rpm with a torque of 140nm@4200rpm again paired with either 5-speed manual/7speed CVT transmission.

Performance & Drive:

Yaris is facelifted Version of Toyota Vios with the same engine configurations as Vios having 1.3 and 1.5 liters engines. Both of the cars sit on the same platform called “Toyota B” which is also available in other small cars of Toyota. As per Reviews done by Different owners and Reviewers; Don’t expect a fast and spiritual Drive with this car, it is enough to get you around in the city but on the highways will need more effort because of the Rubberband Effect of CVT. The top speed of the car is 190km/h while it takes 10.2 seconds to sprint 0-100km/h with a 1.5-liter 2NR engine and Manual Transmission and the smaller 1.3 Liter engine takes about 13 seconds to sprint 0-100/kmh which increase with the number of people sitting inside. The fuel economy of the car is good is 14.9km/l with a 1.5-liter engine and with a 1.3-liter engine, it gives 16km/L within the city. Handling of the car with both engines is nicely weighted with a steering wheel that makes the drive planted, stable, and composed.

Moving around the turns and within tight streets of the city, it is quite easier to handle even without the sensors. Body Roll is Minimal and the Brakes are good which can be improved more.

Exterior Design & Features:

In terms of the overall design, Yaris has similarities with Discontinued Xli and GLI models, and if said more clearly it openly displays the design language of Toyota cars. The front of the Yaris is more aggressive than discontinued cars because of has a bigger bolder front trapezium air intake while the small Grille is quite the same becomes the reason for similarity with previous cars. Four-beam halogen headlamps are standard on all the trims while daytime running lights, partial chrome plating, and fog lamps are limited to higher trims only.

Moving to the side of the car it has body-colored door handlers for lower trims and chromed door handlers for higher while body-colored side mirrors with turn indicators are standard on all the trims.

Interior Design & Features:

The front seats are spacious enough for a taller person but on the rear side, they may complain about leg and Headroom. Fabric seats are standard in all trims but the quality of the fabric varies from lower to higher trim.

The overall presence of the interior is updated which is more enhanced with black and polished silver trim pieces.
