Overview
The Toyota Yaris is a five-seat B-segment hatchback for buyers who want a petrol-powered automatic with front-wheel drive. Launched in 2023 in its current NSP151 Facelift 3 form, it uses a 1.5-litre engine and CVT across both variants. Prices start from RM88,000.
Yaris in 2026 — what's new
The Toyota Yaris carries into 2026 unchanged, with no 2026-specific update announced for this hatchback. The current range remains the 1.5 E and 1.5 G, both using a 1,496 cc petrol engine producing 105 hp, driving the front wheels through an automatic CVT. Both are five-seaters, so the choice is between trim levels rather than a different powertrain or seating layout.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose the Toyota Yaris 1.5 E at RM88,000. It has the same 1,496 cc, 105 hp petrol engine, front-wheel drive, CVT and five-seat layout as the 1.5 G. The G costs RM91,600, so the RM3,600 gap does not buy extra power or a different drivetrain. Pay more only if the G’s trim-specific equipment matters to you; on the listed mechanicals, the E is the rational pick.
Verdict
The Yaris is a straightforward B-segment hatchback: a 1.5-litre petrol engine, CVT and five seats in both versions. The prior facelift revised the exterior, while much of the interior and mechanical package remained familiar. Price is its awkward point. At RM88,000, it starts RM2,100 above the Honda City Hatchback, while the Perodua Myvi starts from RM46,500. The E makes more sense than the G because their listed mechanical specifications are identical.
