Toyota Yaris XP150 2020 Dedicated Discussion, Owners / Fans Club Thread

So it will be like adding another engine or motor of 6 kw?

I believe that yaris is lighter than Honda city though.

[vtecyo]

Usually if the HP and torque is less it means engine is tuned to get more fuel economy.

Things r not that simple. A lot depends on gearing ratios, axle ratios etc. City's transmission is such that it runs on higher RPMs for corresponding speeds on, let's say, 1.3 Corolla, Swift and Faw V2 etc. Similar for the 1.5 variant. CVTs generally lower the RPM when u start cruising, and increase it when u want to accelerate, giving u economy when u drive economically and acceleration when u want to drive fast, but yes, there is this elastic effect, where it takes a few seconds to start accelerating etc. The 7-speed shiftmatic scheme is to lower that effect. If u drive in the manual mode, it will hold gear ratio and will help especially when going uphill or downhill, or whenever else u want to hold the gear.

So the CVT system is designed to keep the engines speed low when possible? Means it will keep changing gear at the same rpm ? It's the only way to accelerate without going into high rpms

[talhajibran0110]

I quite agree with the part about our drivers , I have daihatsu move 2012 and it took me time to understand the car initially. Takes its sweet time to start accelerating. Anyone who wants an instant response is generally disappointed.

Honda n1 on the other hand is very responsive , probably it has that 7 speed system.

This link shows the specs of India model Yaris 1.5. It is 1110kg. Check out Pakistan model Honda City 1.3 weight on Pakwheels. That comes out to be 1155kg. I checked the weight on some Australian website for 1.3 Yaris, which was even lower.

People here have been driving CVTs with a similar body and 1.0 engine. The CVTs won't give up easily, as they haven't done so in those cases. Fuel economy would only be better with a 1.3 or a 1.5, as compared to those 1.0 engines which used to give around 11-13 kmpl here. I don't believe there is any indicator that Yaris will fail or will have problems. What you are mentioning are mere assumptions, which are most likely to be far from the reality.

[umairalizafar]

When u accelerate, it will increase the RPMs to highest possible. When u cruise, it will take it down to lowest possible. It is a continuously variable transmission, which varies continuously as per your driving. It is usually used in econoboxes, not for racing etc. It is designed to get better fuel economy.

As for ur comparison with Move and N-one, those are 660cc Kei cars. That is a different category altogether. I don't think a comparison is valid. If anything, you can compare it with 1.6 CVT Corolla that is offered abroad, or the 1.8 that we have here. I don't believe it is going to be sluggish, or a fuel guzzler. I have even got upto 19 km/l in my 1.8 CVT Altis on long routes, and around 13-14 easily in city driving. That is a 138 hp engine on a heavier body. I think the Yaris is going to be alright, and give similar economy and performance here.

[talhajibran0110]

I have heard good things about yaris fuel economy mostly from reviews of yaris India, if I am not mistaken it has 2nr fe engine which has a compression ratio of 11.5 which can only be called excellent and helps save the fuel. Hope we will get the same compression ratio.

guys cvt is currently the gearbox of choice for economical cars and cars with a low price point. they are cheaper to manufacture and are more reliable now after massive upgrades and RND. If u dnt mess with your gear oil and the cvt cooler is upto mark, it is solid as a rock.
it gives better fuel mileage and no jerk shifts. In Pakistan it is becoming the only choice so you have to live with it now,

remember to take care of the oil change and checkups. Only use genuine oil for CVTs. So far only 2 factors have affected cvts i.e. aftermarket oil and heat.

Hello people. Suggestion required.
I am looking for a used civic rebirth in 23-25lacs range. Now that Yaris is launching, should I get myself a new Yaris instead? If yes, konsa automatic wala variant? The 1.3 or the full option? Which one would be having greater market value later? Fuel average and chorii naa hona are also concerns.
Regards

[chinyoti]

any idea when are they diplaying cars, i have to decide btwn Silver and White inshaAllah

[danishmmh]

those saying that fanboys pushing the cvt to max and then not getting better response from an even more expensive car will be disappointing.

For them let me tell you the main buyer will not be the hip show off class. it will be for a middle class sensible category that needs a car that can get them to around in reasonable comfort and with decent amenities at the same time fuel economical and reliable.

that will be its USP.

Toyota has placed its card right here, the price is acceptable at this point in time. if they go any further it will be a big no.

[pwuser154367200918]

in same boat. have to decide between either of them

[danishmmh]

don't wait. go and book in any one color, and in one weeks time write a request fo color change.

Because if you wait till 27th and then book you can be sure that delivery will be delayed.

I did that with my Alto, booked in Blue, did not like it got the color changed. Make sure you finalise on the spec and book one that you feel will look good.

White will be the taxi of choice so i will say silver is better to distinguish from the UBER/Careem of the future.

[danishmmh]

Booking with 750k and make a color choice, on 27th see the car finalise the color and pay the remaining. simple

[shapeesh]

always buy a new car, old cars always need a lot more maintainanae no matter how well kpt. if u can, go for the 1.5 version.
