2021 TOYOTA YARIS DRIVING REVIEW WITH NEW HYBRID

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Toyota Yaris Hybrid receives a positive review, with the reviewer highlighting its significantly improved driving dynamics, comfort, and a more mature feel compared to its predecessor. The exterior design is noted as unique and polarizing, while the interior offers better ergonomics and slightly more space, particularly for taller occupants in the front. A key upgrade is the inclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a welcome addition for European models. The hybrid system is praised for its fuel economy optimization, though the infotainment software outside of smartphone integration is considered basic and not a strong point. The chassis has been stiffened, and suspension dampening improved, resulting in a more comfortable yet sportier and natural driving experience. While the higher trims with the hybrid system might be pricier, entry-level models are considered a decent offer.
