It makes the Yaris the small car to have if you do lots of long-distance driving. Sure, you have to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel, but it cuts down on fatigue and makes long motorway slogs less exhausting as a result. Bang up to date, they’ll keep the Yaris arrow straight in its lane and around curves while braking and accelerating with a deft smoothness that serves only to expose the poor quality of driving of the humans around you. It’s at this point that Toyota Yaris pulls another trick out its sleeve – its comprehensive suite of autonomous driving aids. Its ability to drive in silent electric power almost all the time in town makes the Yaris extremely relaxing to potter about in and it’ll take you all the way up to motorway speeds without stirring the petrol engine. Take the hybrid engine, it serves up spectacular fuel economy almost irrespective of how or where you drive. That’s about where the negatives end, mind you, because the Toyota Yaris is near enough a class-leader in every other respect and it goes about it in its own unique way, just as it has with previous generations of Toyota's supermini contender. Volkswagen’s head of practicality – if such a job existed – would get off more lightly because, while the Yaris supermini is quite practical for its size, it’s not as spacious in the back as the Polo and it’s boot isn’t as well designed or as roomy.

The inside doesn’t quite match these high standards. It’s a Yaris that, whisper it, looks great. ![]() ![]() A jumble of creases and curves, sharp edges, with a hint of origami, bookended by a gaping grille and pair of attractively protruding tail lights. Thankfully, we can drop the Swedish analogy at the Toyota Yaris’s styling because it’s pure Japanese. In much the same way, the Yaris comes loaded with technology that’s expensive but ultimately makes your life better. Famed for being taxing on the wallet, Sweden rewards your investment by providing an excellent quality of life. If the Toyota Yaris was a European country it would be Sweden. ![]()
