Recently went to showrooms and viewed both Yaris and City hatchback. I had summarized out some pros for each car based on my opinion.

Honda City Hatchback
1. Better looking Interior
2. Leather seats
3. 8 speakers (yaris has 6)


Toyota Yaris
1. More safety assist
2. Better looking rim (honda city v spec rim looks plain)
3. 3k cheaper

Both cars exterior look nice to me.

buy both easy no need headache

Honda looks "smaller" from its rear view.. A bit round bontot.. Yaris bontot looks better.

sorry boss

yup.. got a feeling like the front and rear of city hatchback doesn't match..

City hb has more practical interior. Yaris very cramp and less storage space.

yes very true... and better looking interior as well..

Looks like you got your answer already.
If want more safety, top up little get City sedan with Sensing.

No bruh.. i like the interior of city and exterior of yaris

Well, interior is for yourself to enjoy using, exterior is for others too see.

If really unsure, can go for Myvi. all the features of city HB for much less money

Agree with the interior space in the City. Useful compartments and storage space also more by a lot in the City. Don't forget the bigger seats in the new City and also new engine.

Yaris ugly
City Hatch uglier

Yaris wins

How did you find the handling, brakes, NVH, acceleration etc when you test drove both cars ?

City hatchback still no test drive unit yet. Sales agent say will arrive late march or early april

Don't look at exterior
You are sitting inside the cat

good point...

The 'plus point' for the city, can easily kawtim at accessory shop.

But the yaris safety cannot install aftermarket.

Go for Myvi, Ativa for full ASA 3.0 level for the safety features. Vios, Yaris and City are half baked level. Go check them out.

For all intent and purposes, the Myvi G3 has more interior space than the Vios and Yaris. Just for thought, the Vios and Yaris are still using the same chassis since 2003.

this i have to agree. i loved the spaciousness of myvi and saga practicality

if die die must choose, get yaris for safety reason.

I test drive both Yaris and City.

Yaris - Pro - better safety (got 360 cameras), free bodykits and tint films.

Handling - slow and stable, brake okay, NVH (normal), acceleration very slow. The fabric seat really normal and the arm rest looks cheap and useless.

City HB - better interior, leather seat, smoother engine. NVH (normal), faster acceleration (bigger space 4300mm vs 4100 mm (yaris). No front sensor, no 360 viewing camera, no body kit.

Decided to go for City HB as the vehicle newly launched and more comfort. more powerful.

The only way is to test drive both.

Fundamentally both are fairly similar cars that you shouldn't waste money on.

What if ts is a dog person.

Car la...

vios pcs not denso ?

I would go for Yaris since it has better safety features.

City hatchback v does not even have aeb, something that even myvi and bezza got

Be wary of this AEB and other safety features. Myself encountered on two occasions. The car in front of me decided to make an illegal U turn and my car overrides my judgement and did an emergency braking! The car behind me almost knocked me and gave me a loud honk. Another Corolla Cross owner's car was knocked recently when his car did an emergency braking. A lot of drivers just love to follow closely behind us. When this thing happens when the sensor takes over our human judgement this is what happens. Still a risk to own cars with semi autonomous features.

both look like shiat get GR yaris

get sedan version instead by looks

I pick honda city, but dah la promised not to buy honda cause of problems

so toyota vios je

2 way to look into this.

1) your car auto brake for you, then car behind langgar you

2) your car auto brake for you, saved you from accident hitting the car in front of you.


people who has actually been in an accident, would appreciate situation number 2


since i have yaris, and i assume you have corolla cross, then we both know Toyota AEB wont auto brake suddenly
it will first give you a warning, if in that split second you dont react, then only it will auto brake for you.
i have yaris for 1 year now, the warning sign came 2 times so far, then i brake on my own and changed lane - nothing happened


the problem is when you follow the car in front so close, the system doesnt have any space to react.
even without aeb, it's just a good common sense to give some space to the car we're following

What I mean is that I do have time to brake and I brake gently but the radar thinks other wise and overtook the brakes.

usually if the car already auto brake, then it means there's little space left between you and the car in front.

my suggestion is maybe you should maintain some space and not follow car in front closely.
or if you like to follow closely, maybe you can disable the auto brake

In my case there was still space in front that's why I brake gently to let that guy made the turn as I already anticipated his move judging from the way he turned his steering to the left for some degree before making his illegal turn. Guess just have to be more careful with this AEB.
