Toyota Yaris Alternatives

Toyota Yaris vs Perodua Myvi

The Toyota Yaris is slightly larger and more powerful than the Perodua Myvi. It is 245 mm longer giving it a more spacious cabin and slightly more cargo space at 286 L compared to the Myvi’s 277 L. In terms of performance, the Yaris leads with 107 PS and 140 Nm compared to the Myvi’s 103 PS and 136 Nm. 

Looking at the infotainment system, the Yaris comes out on top since the Myvi lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. The Yaris is also more comfortable as the Myvi can have a bumpy ride at times. Both the Toyota Yaris and Perodua Myvi have plenty of safety features and are almost evenly matched. That said, the Yaris has seven airbags compared to the Myvi’s six, while the Myvi has adaptive cruise control which the Yaris lacks. 

Toyota Yaris vs Toyota Vios

The Toyota Yaris and Vios share the same engine and transmission, giving them both identical performance and reliability. However, being a hatchback, the Toyota Yaris is slightly less spacious than the Vios. The Vios also has a significantly larger boot at 475 L. 

Comparing the Yaris with the 2023 Toyota Vios, the Yaris loses out on some advanced safety features including adaptive cruise control, auto high beam, and lane keep control. However, the Yaris is also comparatively more affordable which makes it a compelling choice.
