Moving into its fourth generation, the all-new Toyota Yaris combines improved efficiency with a dose of extra driver appeal...

Priced from £16,000 (est) Release date September

With an ever-increasing number of small, affordable cars turning to electricity to improve or even eradicate carbon emissions, Toyota must be feeling pretty smug with itself. That’s because since 2012 you’ve been able to buy a hybrid version of the Toyota Yaris that emits well under 100g/km of CO2.

After eight years, it’s now time to say goodbye to the third-generation Yaris and hello to this all-new, fourth-generation model. And when we say ‘all-new’, we really do mean it. For a start, it uses Toyota’s latest small car underpinnings, and there's a brand-new 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine under its bonnet. The battery is smaller, lighter and yet more powerful than before, plus there’s tons of new safety kit.

Surprisingly for a new car, the Yaris hasn’t had a growth spurt, either. In fact, it’s fractionally shorter and a little bit lower than its predecessor. Sure, it’s a bit wider these days, but who doesn’t put on a bit of padding around the hips with age?

We should also point out that the interior isn't quite finished, a few of its plastic parts aren't quite up to production grade. Even so, the squishy dashboard, large fabric inserts on the doors and expensive-feeling switches and buttons impressed us. Sadly, the dim-witted infotainment system with its yesteryear graphics and sluggish responses put a downer on things, especially because the hard-to-follow sat-nav got us lost several times.

As for space, the 286-litre boot is on the small side, although most versions will get a two-level boot floor for added flexibility. Accommodation for people is more generous, with room for a 6ft-plus adult to sit behind another in the driving seat.
