Thank you. Very useful. For someone who has driven practically 1 car in his life and has to drive now around iceland in a toyota yaris this was super helpful.
Ι really don't get this obsession with the reviews always being about the top notch version, while the majority of people due to budget limitations will opt for the mid range grades. This only makes sense in the context of an advertisement / promotion, not an objective review.
Indeed. I have had mine for a week now (Excel in Oxide Bronce, except it was called H4 here in Denmark when I ordered it back in January), and I absolutely love it! :) I'm still trying to find out if the dash board backlight has a night mode though. So far I have only found the setting for altering the overall brightnes. My old Yaris (2016 model) would automatically enter night mode and dim the backlight when turning on the headlights, and the satnav would enter night mode when the cabin light sensor registered low light conditions.
Top tip: sit on your left leg and tape the hand closest to the gear lever to the steering wheel. ;) That leg and that hand WILL seek out the clutch pedal and the gear lever when approaching corners and junctions for a while, until getting used to driving automatic. :) Only use B-mode (increased engine braking) on the gear lever for long stteep inclines, it will NOT charge your battery faster! All it does is spin up the petrol engine at high rpm to increase engine braking, and it uses the small MG1 electric motor attached to the flywheel to do it.
Now available as Mazda 2 Hybrid! I’ve had mine since August 2022 exactly the same car but rebadged as a Mazda. I still don’t know why Toyota gave the car to Mazda but I got my Mazda 8 months quicker than Toyota could supply a Yaris!!!!! Ps I love it
@@Sapphire901 The Clio (full hybrid) and Hyundai i20 (mhev) Fiesta (mhev) have hybrid options. I have driven the Hyundai mhev system and I think with the manual transmission it’s capable of some very good consumption 1l less than WLTP consumption.
Hi I've ordered a Design, please tell me your happy with it, we are excited for ours which we get 25th this month, is it as good as reviews say it is 🙏
@@stanhendo Yes, we've been very happy with it so far. We use it mostly around town, and are getting 67mpg. It's a nice size for parking in small spaces. We bought it as my wife is learning to drive in a 2020 Yaris. It's comfortable enough, although a little noisy at speed. To get Android Auto, you need either an iPhone, or an Android with at least V.10. The cruise and lane control can take a bit of getting used to.
9:13 No, that button (lower half of a dual-function button) doesn't activate the cruise control. The button shown being pushed, is a speed limiter (the speed won't exceed the set speed no matter how hard the accelerator is pushed down). For activaiting cruise control, push the upper half of the button! 9:17 When pushed like shown, the speed is adjusted in 1 km/h or mph increments. If held in the up or down position, the speed will change in 5 km/h og mph increments.
Thank you for the info, I was wondering, since what you wrote is how cruise control usually works. I'am watching thise while waiting for my comfort style tech hybrid...
Good video showing much needed info. You missed the panoramic roof though. What are your impressions of this? Is it worth it? Does it open electronically?
No! Seductive and stunningly beautiful as the design is I've rejected it, for two reasons: firstly, in my book it's unforgivable that the maker doesn't include a built‐in satnav (even on the Excrel version) because I can't be doing fiddling around with phone cable connectivity and, secondly, too many commentators complain about excessive wind noise and tyre roar at motorway speeds. Furthermore I was massively unimpressed that a dealer couldn't be bothered to answer six oh‐so‐simple written questions. Thus the maker has cumulatively failed to prise the wonga from my wallet. •Your loss, competition's gain• the latter's dealer coming back to me fulsomely within a couple of hours after exactly the same enquiry. They succeeded in gaining my custom because they deserved it by >earning< it. My message to Toyota: fall awake!
Has anyone used the brake assist function,, had the brake in the red box display a few times but I’ve been fast enough to stamp on the brake.. just wondering if it will actually stop the car.
It WILL emergency brake in a critical situation (don't ask me how I know, it's a bit embarrassing). There are 3 sensitivity settings for the system in the settings menu in the info display in the dash.
It's a hybrid. It doesn't have a sluggish transmission. In fact, it doesn't have a transmission at all: the speed of the vehicle is given by the sum of the speed of the gas engine + the electric motor
Me and the wife have just bought it after test driving. Was going for a Corolla. The telematics showed we were getting just under 70mpg around town with 74% of the drive on electric. The Corrola seemed to spend way more time on petrol than I thought it would. I'll be filling up once a month instead of twice, saved myself £7,000
Definitely better than the shitty Ford and better for the planet, not sure about a VW, always German or Japanese though baby!!! - never other ‘European’

Dear Santa....
A great innovative Toyota hybrid system with all safety devices and Comfort as well
It's a handsome car packed with technology. I'd seriously consider buying one of I had the money. Second hand cars for me for now though.

This looks even better in the flesh
It's quite expensive compared to the alternatives, but no doubt absolutely bulletproof as usual.
The alternatives don’t have this hybrid technology 😅 most of them have petrol engines

How you finding it
@@ohemaao195 Great car.. easy 2 drive.. relaxing and sporty if u want 2..
This design much more better Asia markets!👍
We agree!
💐 Car of the Year 2021!!! 💐
I had a test drive a few days ago and i'm definitely going to buy this one. Absolutely loved it.
Ive just Booked the style plus in Blue.
Is it good as someone's first car?
We place an order 1 yr ago? We're still not driving it We're struggling with the filling;(
Do the 2022-2023 yaris style plus as well please
A shame they just concentrated on the Excel model.
We get our "Design" in a couple of days.

Nice😍😍😄
Good video showing much needed info. You missed the panoramic roof though. What are your impressions of this? Is it worth it? Does it open electronically?
It's good
The optional panoramic roof is fixed glass & doesn't open. The interior blind is in 2 pieces & opens manually.
can I purchase this in America?
Off course it’s better
hi does all the safety features you mentioned come in the design version?
I'm not sure, but I think the only feature lacking in the lower trim levels is the blind spot monitoring. Everything else should be standard.

Yaris have a better interior finish than corolla.

Why is it when you slam the door it sounds like a van
Thin door skins used.
Lithium or nickel battery?
0.76 kWh Lithium-Ion
But is under 10 seconds to 60?
9,7
Yes it is.
What happens after 60?
@@bafattvahetere mostly likely a speeding ticket.
@@wario9164 And if you get the petrol-only 1.5L with 6 speed manual, the time is 9 seconds flat. :)
Just wish I could get it with a 1.5L or higher and 6 speed manual instead of the sluggish auto :/
