Overview
The Toyota Yaris is a B-segment hatchback for buyers who want a five-seat petrol runabout with a CVT automatic. In NSP151 Facelift 3 form, launched in 2023, it starts from RM88,000 and comes in 1.5 E and 1.5 G variants, both using a 1,496 cc engine with 105 hp.
Yaris in 2026 — what's new
Toyota’s 2026 Yaris activity in Malaysia centres on the Yaris Cross SUV, which is a separate model from the Yaris hatchback. For the hatch, there is no 2026-specific update, so the NSP151 Facelift 3 range carries on into 2026 unchanged. The line-up remains 1.5 E and 1.5 G, both with a 1.5-litre petrol engine, CVT automatic and five seats.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the Yaris 1.5 E at RM88,000. The Yaris 1.5 G costs RM91,600, so the gap is RM3,600. Both variants use the same 1,496 cc petrol engine, make 105 hp, have a CVT automatic and seat five. On paper, you are not paying for extra performance; you are paying for trim and equipment. Check the kit list, and take the G only if its added items matter to you.

Toyota Yaris buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Yaris formula is familiar: a facelifted exterior, with the cabin and mechanical package largely carried over. That keeps it simple, but it also means the car is no longer the freshest B-segment hatchback around. It is not cheap either, sitting above the Proton Iriz, Perodua Myvi and Honda City Hatchback entry prices, though below the Neta V and BYD Dolphin.
