Including snap of Front Bumper from the https://toyota.com.ph/vios site as it is the most important change.



Looking at the headlamp cluster, it appears they have included LED headlamps

Following is the quote from rushlane site: The most significant of which are the new sophisticated-looking full LED headlamps. The mid-size sedan also receives bigger secondary airdam which reminds us of the lower half of Lexus’ trademark spindle grille. The L-shaped foglight enclosures round off the design changes. Changes to the interior are not cosmetic but the car does get a updated infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

I hope these changes trickle down to Indian version at the earliest.

Does the Yaris share similar traits like it’s big brothers The Corolla & Camry? Like reliability, durability?
I have taken a test drive twice, the engine felt nice. The NVH was awesome with it’s short gear throws gave me a joy to drive.
Just wanted to know if this is as bullet proof a car?

If you actually see the brochure pasted in the previous post there is no mention of Android Auto and Apple car play. The description is exactly matching the infotainment found in the India spec G and V CVT models. But I do agree that rushlane article says there is Android Auto. We have to wait and see if we'll get any of these updates to India.

Still no sunroof in a car competing against the likes of City and Verna? That’s not good.

Rapid has gotten away with this but I don’t think a ‘new’ launch will be able to.

As competent a car Yaris is, its pricing and bling is the only thing that can get it back in the race otherwise the Rapid rider (& plus) is lagging behind in features standard in the City and Verna is still a decent pick due to the Brand name and the great pricing.

Hi. Its a Toyota... Whether u buy a glanza or a velfire u can be assured of the quality and reliability. Thats why they charge a premium. I own a V CVT dual tone and its a pleasure to drive though lack of power is a bit evident

I totally agree with Palio_2005. I own a V CVT and in the last 2 years have not faced any niggles. I am confident that the Yaris will be reliable and durable easily for 10 to 15 years.

While there is a little flex in the metal of the doors and front fenders when pushed with a thumb, there is none on any other body panel. Toyota has not cut any costs at least as far as the build & quality are concerned.

You can vouch for it, Toyota’s are reliable to the T. It’s a bulletproof car no worries, just that the overpricing killed it otherwise it is a fundamentally sorted car!

A typical Toyota car making you go from Point A to B without any worries.

Also the Indian car also gets Apple CarPlay for sometime now in its dual tone edition which I think is based on the V variant.

Also no worries about spare-parts, the Altis which was discontinued this year will still have spares available till the next 10 years as said by Naveen Soni Senior VP Toyota. Definitely will be the same case with the Yaris (if at all discontinued).

Thank you all.
The Yaris, actually is out of my budget but I am willing to extend & get a base variant J Opt & fit a HU with Apple Carplay & Android Auto w/ reverse camera. This is my first car in India & I would like to keep it at least for more than 8 years. Any other car if I buy, I may have to think of exchanging it right after 5 years or the end of extended warranty (Ex: Rapid). I admit it is a boring looking car when compared, but I dig the reliability & peace of mind Toyota as a company offers.
Waiting for it's facelift to arrive.

Yaris is a super reliable car and driveability is fine in the 1.5L CVT. In the middleast this was sold with the 1.3L 83HP motor for years and it was their bread and butter car after the Corolla and Camry. Sadly Yaris has a poor man's first car Image here, and yes the car sold here is/was poorly equipped too. Super hard plastic cabin and bare born to the core! But they have given some premium touch ups to the Yaris sold in India to match with the City, Verna and Ciaz.

They did a good job with the front but what happened to the designers when they reached the rear end ? Were they sent off home owing to the lockdown & Toyota decided to just let it be the way it is.
This is an extremely poor effort IMHO and the interior too should have received some more radical changes to freshen it up.
