This article will briefly compare the Honda City and Toyota Yaris. Many people want to understand the distinctions between these popular vehicles to make an informed purchase decision.
In 1981, Honda introduced the City model as a three-door hatchback, focusing on the Japanese, European, and Australian markets. However, this hatchback version was manufactured until 1993 but was eventually discontinued as it was unable to compete with its rivals. Then, in 1996, Honda revived its name, this time as a sedan, primarily targeting Asian markets.
Yaris typically gets 12-14 KM/L and 15-16 KM/L on the highway, with fuel efficiency varying based on factors like variant, transmission, fuel type, and driving style. With a 42 L fuel tank, it offers an estimated range of 504.0-588.0 KM.
In Pakistan, the City achieves an average of 12-13 KM/L and 16 KM/L on the highway. Like the Yaris, its fuel efficiency depends on variant, transmission, fuel type, and driving style. Equipped with a 40 L fuel tank, it offers an estimated range of 480.0-520.0 KM.
The top-tier 6th Gen, on the other hand, boasts a 1.5L (1497cc) engine, churning out an impressive 118 horsepower and 145Nm of torque when paired with a Constant Variable Transmission (CVT). In contrast, the Yaris, in a similar vein, comes with a 1.5L (1496cc) engine, offering slightly less power at 106 horsepower and 140Nm of torque, paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
City 2021 takes the edge when it comes to Cruise Control as the Yaris completely lacks this feature in all variants of the sedan.
The 2021 City features a 9-inch touchscreen in the Aspire versions and a 7-inch screen in the non-Aspire versions. In contrast, the Yaris offers only a 6.8-inch touchscreen in its top-tier variant, which is notably smaller
Both have electronic power steering with multimedia buttons. However, the City has a ‘Tilt and Telescope’ steering wheel while the Yaris only has the ‘Tilt’ option.
Both top-of-the-line variants are equipped with a push start feature.
The following safety features are available in both
These additional safety features are only available in the Yaris:
In Pakistan, the 2023 Yaris starts at PKR 4,499,000 for the base GLI MT 1.3 variant and goes up to PKR 5,969,000 for the top-tier AERO CVT 1.5 variant. These prices are ex-factory. Similarly, the 2023 City in Pakistan begins at PKR 4,799,000 for the base 1.2L M/T model and reaches PKR 5,979,000 for the high-end 1.5L ASPIRE CVT variant. These prices are also ex-factory in Pakistan.
Both of these cars are popular choices in the compact sedan segment, offering various features and options to cater to different preferences. They have their merits, and the choice between them should be based on a careful assessment of personal priorities and local market conditions.
