Is a used Toyota Yaris Hybrid a good car?

The Toyota Yaris Hybrid is no longer the bland and uninspiring car it once was. The latest model has a sporty appearance with a fun driving experience to boot.

Competing with the excellent Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo means the Yaris Hybrid has to be good, and one way that it stands out is its fuel-sipping hybrid engine. It really is economical, so if low running costs are key this is a great option.

Styling is another key selling point for the Yaris Hybrid, which gets a genuinely aggressive front end that appears to take styling cues from Toyota’s sportier models, such as the GR Supra. This is particularly noticeable on versions with larger wheels.

The inside is not as stylish as the outside, but it does come with a decent amount of equipment.

What to look for when buying a used Toyota Yaris Hybrid

The latest Toyota Yaris Hybrid has only been on sale for a couple of years so any recurring faults will be difficult to spot at this point. However, Toyota has an excellent reliability record, particularly when it comes to hybrid engines, so there’s little risk when it comes to the Yaris Hybrid’s longevity.

As a city car it’s always worth looking out for bumps and scrapes in the bodywork that might be hiding worse damage underneath. You should also take extra care when looking for alloy wheel damage that could have affected the tyre.

When test driving models with larger alloy wheels, pay close attention to the ride quality. It can be a bit firmer on these wheels, which has led to complaints from customers. You want to know if this will bother you before you pay for the car.
