THE current Yaris was launched in the UK in 2020, and this mid-life update adds the option of a more powerful hybrid powertrain, uprated infotainment and additional safety kit. The range starts at £22,630, but we’re testing the next rung on the ladder here with the £23,535 Design model.
Tech highlights
AS with the pre-facelift Yaris, the new model is offered exclusively as a petrol-electric hybrid. It features a three-cylinder naturally aspirated combustion engine with variable valve timing, along with a modest 0.76kWh battery that powers the electric motor.
