If you want to buy the new “Yaris”, toyota yaris price in pakistan, this is it! Thorough explanation of the best grade and essential equipment found in the test drive

One month after its launch on February 10, 2020, Toyota’s new compact car “Yaris” has won orders for about 37,000 units, which is about five times the monthly sales target of 7,800 units.

Toyota’s new compact car “Yaris” was released on February 10, 2020. In the image, the left is a Yaris hybrid car and the right is a gasoline car.

However, in fact, it is not well known that the grade selection is complicated, including this Yaris and the manufacturer option (hereinafter referred to as MOP) installed on the factory line. Fuel economy and driving are important, but “start-up price” including MOP that “cannot be retrofitted” at the time of actual purchase is also an important factor.

This time, I was blessed with the opportunity to test drive a Yaris hybrid car and a gasoline car, so I would like to explain the best grades and optional items that I saw from the test drive.

Body size that matches the road conditions in Pakistan

The body size of cars sold all over the world, especially the overall width, often exceeds 1,700 mm. Even in Japan, many cars are number 3 cars with a total width of over 1,700 mm, but due to parking lot size restrictions, there are still many customers who are looking for number 5 cars.

In that respect, Yaris’s Japanese specifications adhere to the 5 number size. The total length is 3,940 x width 1,695 x height 1,500 mm (1,515 mm for AWD vehicles), so there is no problem with warehousing in a multi-story car park. By the way, the total width of the European specification is 1,745mm, so you can think that the Japanese specification of Yaris is designed exactly for the road conditions in Pakistan.

Yaris’s design has a lively feeling, and it is a form that seems to start running at any moment, and it seems that the feeling that the four wheels are straddling is often seen when the actual car is in front of you. In the past, although it was a different dimension from the big hit “Vitz”, I felt that it was connected somewhere in terms of a feeling of mass and condensation.

Not as narrow as it looks

While the Honda “Fit” released at about the same time as the Yaris pushes the comfort to the front, the Yaris has a sporty impression. When I actually get in, the space inside the car doesn’t feel so small.

Of course, fortuner price in pakistan, it is a lie to say that there is little oppressive feeling including the roof, but even if the overall height is lowered, the indoor height etc. are sufficiently secured by lowering the seating position itself, and the steering adjustment mechanism and seat The result is good, so you can get a natural feeling of sitting.

Speaking of which, the depth of the luggage is about 610mm in my actual measurement, and the capacity is a little short. There is little overhang of the tire house and there is depth, so it is not a problem for practical use, but when compared with the fit, it can be said that this part is numerically inferior.

Comfortable running as if you are wearing sports shoes

There are three types of engines installed in the Yaris: the newly developed 1.5L gasoline and 1.5L hybrid, and the conventional 1L gasoline (made by Daihatsu). The transmission to be combined is an electric continuously variable transmission for the hybrid, a CVT for the others, and 6MT for 1.5L gasoline.

The test rides were two models, 1.5L gasoline and 1.5L hybrid, and one person took the ride from the general road to the highway. This is true for Yaris in general, but you can get a very “comfortable” feeling from the beginning of the run. The solid “lightness” that you feel from the start, the precise movement of the car with respect to the steering when turning the first corner, etc., move faithfully to your own will, yet sporty. It feels like you are wearing sports shoes, which have high contact with the ground.

This advantage will be accepted by those who have been in the European B segment and compact cars such as the Vitz for a long time. No, you should think “something feels good”.

The negative of the 3-cylinder engine is honest …

With the newly developed 3-cylinder engine, vibrations such as buzzing are inevitable in places with many stops and gos such as urban areas and in low speed areas. To be honest, hybrid cars have an area where they can run on motors, so it’s not that far, but gasoline cars are worrisome even if they have a balancer shaft that reduces vibration.

On the other hand, if the vehicle runs at high speeds or the engine speed increases, the vibration will be eliminated considerably. It’s not a high-speed engine in particular, but it may have been due to this that the feeling was very good when I tried the Yaris prototype on a short circuit before.

Gasoline cars are surprisingly good for fuel economy!

One of the features that Yaris wants to pay attention to is fuel efficiency. The catalog spec (WLTC mode fuel efficiency) is 32.6km / L for hybrid vehicles. Originally, the catalog fuel consumption of the test drive HYBRID Z is 35.4km / L, but if you install MOP’s 16-inch aluminum wheels, the fuel consumption value will drop. On the other hand, the G of a 1.5L gasoline car is 21.4km / L.

I can’t help but be surprised that the actual fuel consumption of Toyota “Yaris” gasoline cars is close to the catalog value.

Recently, I often see articles about fuel efficiency of Yaris such as “Hybrid exceeds 40km / L!”, But when both cars traveled almost the same route and measured the actual fuel efficiency, the hybrid was 26.8km / L and the gasoline car was. The result was 22.5km / L. By the way, the fuel gauge installed in the Yaris tended to display a slightly higher fuel consumption value, but it can be considered as an error range. The way I drive may not be good, but even if there is little traffic, “it is impossible to exceed 40km / L!”. And, on the contrary, I was surprised that the result of the gasoline car exceeded the catalog value. Even so, hybrid cars are definitely attractive because they have a wider range of motors and, as mentioned above, they have an advantage over gasoline cars in terms of vibration.

With the various functions mentioned above, the price is 51,700 yen, which is a super bargain. Although you can’t choose the turn seat mentioned above, you can get the equipment as close as possible to the higher grade Z while keeping costs down, so it is a MOP that you want to choose without hesitation when buying G.

I want to think carefully about the choice of aluminum wheels

In the case of front-wheel drive vehicles, the top “Z” has 16-inch aluminum wheels and tires, and the “G” has 15-inch aluminum wheels and tires. In particular, the Z’s 16-inch wheels look stylish, and I feel that they also contribute to straight-line stability at high speeds.

Z will be 82,500 yen higher and G will be 59,400 yen higher, but the minimum turning radius, which is one of the criteria for measuring maneuverability, will expand from 4.8m to 5.1m for G. On the other hand, the 14-inch specification of G is a little unfortunate when driving at high speeds. In other words, it is necessary to consider in advance the trade-off between handling and stability.

For Yaris’s “G” grade, I would like to install 15-inch aluminum wheels and tires not only in terms of stylishness but also in terms of ride quality and running stability.

In my conclusion, Yaris felt that choosing the 15-inch was the best considering the balance of handling and ride quality. In some European cars, suzuki alto price in pakistan, the minimum turning radius does not change even if the wheel size is increased. Originally I wanted you to consider that area, but this is all I would like to expect in the future.
