Toyota Yaris 1.5 E vs 1.5 G
Verdict
At RM88,000 versus RM91,600, the Toyota Yaris 1.5 G asks RM3,600 more than the Toyota Yaris 1.5 E. The hard numbers do not show a mechanical, safety or packaging gain: both use a 1,496 cc petrol engine with 105 hp and 150 Nm, a CVT, front-wheel drive, 286 litres of boot space, seven airbags, AEB and a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating. Unless the G’s cabin trim or convenience kit matters to you after checking the equipment list, the E is the cleaner buy.
Pick the Toyota Yaris 1.5 E if you want the same engine, safety kit, boot space and warranty for RM3,600 less.
Pick the Toyota Yaris 1.5 G if you specifically want its trim or equipment upgrades and accept that the core figures are unchanged.
