Test: Toyota Yaris 1.33 Dual VVT-i Sport
Content
Yes it Yaris As you know, its whole history, in comparison with competitors, suffered from a lack of length in centimeters.
That this misery was mostly just paper, also since it was about 10 inches, which was usually shorter than the competition (and still is), was made up for by an abundance of storage space (remember the first one), a movable back bench and higher ... all thanks to its distinctive character, which clearly set it apart from more ready-made competitors.
Lively (compared to competitors) gasoline engines, gauges in the center of the dashboard (also digital), unique interior design ... Yes, he may have looked a little less mature, but that's why he was at the heart of many.
Every generation is a Yaris grew 10-15 inches and this time it's no different, and still doesn't exceed the four meter limit of some of the competition - what's more, at 388 centimeters, it's again at the bottom of the length scale.
Since he's a little bigger, he's certainly a little heavier: he put on about 30 pounds. In addition, he (on paper) lost two "horses" and seven Newton meters (as well as the pleasure of spinning). It also lost its characteristic interior shape and movable back bench.
Thus, he lost what set him apart (apart from size) from the competition. Now this is just another one of many in this class. And since he lost most (but not all, make no mistake) of what he excelled at, he should be even better at "average" things. It?
Let's start with the engine
This is installed with almost the same data as before, but not completely. While the differences are small on paper, in practice they are not.
He seems more sleepy than we remember from the previous generation of Yaris, and he can't even be disguised. excellent six-speed gearbox in short, quick and precise movements. And even the joy of spinning up at maximum revs is somehow lost, the engine gives the feeling that it likes it much less than before.
As if he grew up, he is serious, and hooliganism at six thousand rpm is no longer close to his heart, as if he does not like that the driver wants to get the most out of him, which, according to our measurements, is really what the factory promises (and the previous Yaris).
Worse in flexibilityThat lower engine drowsiness isn't just a subjective experience - 50 to 90 mph in fourth gear is 0,3 and in fifth is a full 2,7 seconds slower than the old Yaris.
Between 80 and 120 kilometers per hour, nothing is better: in both fifth and sixth gear, the new Yaris is about six seconds slower than its predecessor (in fifth, say 19,9 seconds instead of 13,9 seconds, which is almost half). ...
label Sports on the Yaris test (you probably already guessed from the description of the drivetrain) does not mean that this is a particularly powerful version, but the fact that this Yaris received a sportier (but not quite sporty) chassis, larger wheels, a new electric (progressive) tuning steering servo and some visual accessories.
At the wheel, the sporty chassis is thankfully completely invisible in everyday use. The bump absorption is still good, something like a sunken shaft in the middle of the road otherwise sends vibrations to the seats and steering wheel, but to the fullest we can easily write that such a Yaris is comfortable enough for everyday family use.
The steering wheel is just right with the power steering and offers more than ample feedback, with just 2,25 rpm from one endpoint to the other is an added plus for this Yaris on more twisty roads. The VSC is not overly intrusive (otherwise you might find a button to tame it between the seats), there is little understeer (or nothing if the driver is a little experienced with the steering wheel and pedals), and quick turns are enjoyable even when the road is not at its best. condition.
And since the six-speed transmission, as mentioned, is fast and accurate, and the gear ratios are reasonably short, we can safely say that this Yaris deserves the Sport designation. Sixteen-inch wheels, red stitching on the gear lever and steering wheel, and slightly sportier orange gauges only add to the impression, but it's a shame the seats haven't gotten a bit sportier.
In addition, we would have liked a few more centimeters of longitudinal movement (in the opposite direction, of course), as this would also make taller drivers sit more comfortably. The driver's seat is height adjustable, but it also has a movable elbow rest that is so thin it can barely do its job.
Storage space?
The two cans in front of the gear lever and another drawer in front of them are much smaller than we remember from the first Yaris, but that should be enough for everyday use, especially since the built-in Bluetooth hands-free interface means the phone can stay in your pocket.
The six-inch color LCD touchscreen also works great with the phone, and the test Yaris also had a built-in navigation device that uses the same screen. In general, decided well, it's just a pity that the map scale needs to be increased and decreased by pressing the screen, and not turning the knob next to it.
So there are no major grievances in the front, but what about the back?
There's just as much room as you'd expect from such a large car with a fairly large trunk: not much. No one will sit behind a taller driver, if the co-driver is less or more compassionate in nature, you will comfortably seat a small child in the back, or (very) for the strength of an adult. Yes, we did hiccup on the sliding back bench ...
Trunk?
It is quite enough, especially since it has a double bottom (the shelf can also be placed on the bottom of the trunk and thus turned into a solid one, but of a larger size), under which there is enough space for a rather thick bag. (say with a laptop). This is where Yaris can be a role model for many competitors.
If we wrote that Yaris is outwardly boring, we would boldly lie. In fact, (some) competitors have taken a step in a more adventurous direction, so the Yaris doesn't stand out as much as it did in the first generation.
The front end is even sportier with subdued light and a bright stripe in the mask, the taillights are interesting, especially from the profile side (but, as it turns out, not everyone likes it). Design-wise, the Yaris is where you'd expect a modern entry in this class of car to be.
Security was of course well taken care of. Stabilization is standard on nearly every Yaris, and seven airbags provide live content when the VSC can no longer help.
Five stars in EuroNCAP test crashes proves that Toyota engineers took everything seriously, and it's a shame the Yaris doesn't have a speed limiter (for fines like those threatened in Slovenia, every car should have one as standard), and above all, it doesn't have a daytime limiter. running lights as standard.
This is all the more surprising since this solution (or always-on low beam) has been known to Toyota for many years. Why it is now necessary to pay 270 euros for LED daytime running lights or completely abandon them in cars with a light switch is a question that only Toyota's brain (which in this case just kicked in the dark infamously) knows the answer to. .
If that didn't stop you from making a purchase, just pay that 270 euros. Dual-zone air conditioning, steering wheel audio controls, the aforementioned LCD screen, reversing camera, heated rearview mirrors and, say, fog lights come standard on this Yaris. A car for a good £ 15k, the same as a Yaris Sport would be. cost you (with Smart Pack, which includes smart key, light and rain sensor, and self-dimming rearview mirror).
Add in LED daytime running lights and metallic paint and you get up to 15. European competitors can be cheaper and even larger, so the new Yaris will have a tough time. If he were even a little special, he would surely be easier.
Face to face
Alyosha Mrak
Toyota Yaris joined the Micra and Ypsilon in a spiral that could also be disastrous: they were satisfied with not only female customers, but also men. Do you want to know why this is a disaster if the circle of those who open wallets is expanding? Because the cars are no longer "cute", small and, therefore, pleasant to walk around the city, but bigger, more serious and, therefore, more courageous. They are undoubtedly better in many ways, but do people really want to? To be honest, I liked the previous Yaris, Mikra and Upsilon more, even though I am a man. In any case, Yaris had to remain small and flexible (back bench!), Because this was not his drawback, but his trump card.

The third generation Yaris is a big surprise for those who still remember or know the first two. He has grown, Toyota also says that he has grown. But I miss the thousand joys of the previous two, whose bodies were shorter (and look nicer for my taste) and whose interior we were able to adjust (now attached a back bench), used a lot of space for small things (it almost does not exist now).
Instead, we have a center screen that also lacks everything the driver might need or need a co-driver (like the internet). The driving experience is solid, although I miss the sharpness of the previous engine with the same markings. If it was lost through savings ... This has nothing to do with the impression of the car, but it seems completely meaningless to me: the Toyota advertising agency still cannot write messages to customers in the correct Slovenian language.

Overall rating (310/420)
Despite some disadvantages, especially in terms of engine and space, the Yaris remains a good car. Price alone can hurt his sales.
Exterior (12/15)
The appearance divided the observers into two very clear poles, and the workmanship left no doubts.
Interior (91/140)
Small outer dimensions mean less space inside, especially at the back.
Engine, transmission (55
/ 40)If carried through to the end, this Yaris will just work, but it doesn't like lower revs.
Driving performance (61
/ 95)Superior power steering and a suitably rigid chassis justify the Sport label.
Performance (18/35)
Flexibility is the downside of this Yaris - despite having the same engine, it's worse than its predecessor.
Security (37/45)
Seven airbags, regular ESP and five stars on EuroNCAP are a plus, and the absence of daytime running lights is a (rather) minus.
Economy (37/50)
The price is not low, the consumption is not at the highest level, and the warranty conditions are not at the highest level.
