Just today at 10 am, Toyota Indus Motors announced the launch of Yaris’s major facelift. It’s a dinky sedan that now comes with a more sporty front, cosmetic changes and an altogether more youthful styling matted with Toyota’s 1.3 or 1.5 NR series engine.

It’s fair to say that if you’re thinking of buying the new Yaris, you’re probably also considering Honda City Aspire 1.5L. To clear the bushes from your mind, here’s a 1-1 comparison series of both cars:

Toyota Yaris 1.5L Ativ X CVT (black int.): PKR 6,319,000
Honda City Aspire CVT 1.5L: PKR 5,849,000

Writer’s Point-Of-View

Regardless of what you choose, the new Yaris is actually a good value deal, even better than the City in many aspects. After paying 470K PKR extra for the Yaris, you get Toyota’s emblem, projector headlamps, one extra airbag, Hill-assist, VSA, TC, parking sensors and two additional speakers with some really good and youthful pep stylings.

Honda City, it might have 12 additional horses, but lacks in some basic features than the new Yaris, and its front looks very dry and off in comparison to Yaris.

To conclude, unless you’re a Honda fanboy, Yaris for 470K additional would be a better deal, or you can go with lower variants if 6.31 million PKR goes out of the budget.
