The Toyota Yaris Hybrid is renewed to remain one of the best hybrid cars in its class

Without a doubt, one of the main changes in the new Toyota Yaris MY24 range is the arrival of the 130H engine, available for the Premiere Edition and Yaris GR Sport trims. The new 130H engine increases power by 12% compared with the 120H version, reaching 130 CV, which noticeably improves acceleration and, above all, in-gear recovery. In this way, the Yaris will offer two mechanical versions to choose from. Here you can read the road test of the Yaris 120H that we carried out when this model was presented.

The changes to the non-plug-in hybrid propulsion system of this new 130H version focus on the electric motor, which increases its maximum torque, and on an update to the power control unit; the petrol engine remains the three-cylinder 1.5. Best of all, the more powerful version barely increases consumption by one tenth, which is one of the strong points of the Yaris hybrid.

Digital instrumentation and more safety equipment

Another important novelty in the new Yaris range is the latest-generation Toyota Safety Sense system which, together with the new multimedia system, now supports wireless software updates, reducing trips to the workshop. A camera and a radar with greater range also improve the operation of the safety systems, with a greater ability to detect accident risk: the pre-collision system can now recognise not only vehicles, but also motorcycles, cyclists and pedestrians.

New driver-assistance features include the intersection collision prevention system; the acceleration suppression function (it brakes in the event of a sudden acceleration if there is a risk of collision with the vehicle ahead); the proactive driving assist, the emergency stop system and the safe exit assist. In addition, the adaptive cruise control and traffic sign recognition have been revised to work faster.

Continuing with the technology updates, the new 2024 Yaris range now comes as standard with the Toyota Smart Connect system, with a 9-inch multimedia screen and wireless connection to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In the best-equipped versions this screen becomes 10.5 inches. A new fully configurable 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster also arrives, as well as a digital key for the top-of-the-range versions that allows the vehicle to be locked and unlocked using the smartphone.

Range and prices of the new Toyota Yaris

The new Yaris range is configured as follows: with the 120H engine you can choose between the Business Plus, Active Plus and Style trims; and with the 130H engine it is available in GR Sport, GR Sport Plus and Premiere Edition trims. All versions have a discount of 3,600 euros off the list price, rising to 3,900 euros for the GR Sport.

Setting aside the Business Plus trim, aimed at fleets, the best-selling Yaris among private customers is the 120H Active Plus, available from 22,400 euros with the discount included. The Style costs 1,250 euros more and adds 17-inch alloy wheels, a 10.5-inch multimedia screen, the digital instrument cluster and a wireless phone charger.

The Yaris GR Sport starts from 24,150 euros with discounts, a very competitive price considering it includes the more powerful 130H engine, 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, two-tone bodywork, a specific front grille and rear diffuser, Alcantara upholstery and sports suspension. At the top of the range, the Yaris Premiere Edition costs 26,150 euros and adds features such as partial leather upholstery, a head-up display, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and start, and specific decoration.
