2024 Toyota Yaris pricing and features: More-affordable hybrid added after petrol models axed

An update for the 2024 Toyota Yaris hatch has landed in Australia.

The changes are headlined by the return of a sub-$30,000 base model variant after Toyota deleted petrol-only versions of the Yaris last month.

At the time, the pre-update Yaris line-up was reduced to two hybrid variants – the mid-spec SX and top-of-the-range ZR – as the Ascent Sport was not available in hybrid form.

The newly-added Yaris Ascent Sport hybrid is priced from $28,500 before on-road costs – up $3700 over the now-deleted petrol version, but down $1690 over the previous most-affordable hybrid.

All 2024 Toyota Yaris variants also receive a handful of tech upgrades, including a larger 8-inch touchscreen running Toyota’s latest infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

It also supports updated Toyota Connected Services functionality, which sees the previous three-year free trial move to a shorter 12-month complimentary period.

Connected satellite navigation is now standard, which costs $12.50 per month to maintain after the 12-month free trial period expires as part of Toyota’s ‘connected multimedia’ subscription.

SX and ZR variants are also fitted with a new 7-inch digital instrument cluster, which replaces analogue dials and a 4.2-inch multi-function display.

There’s also a new front grille pattern and seat trim patterns for all variants, new ‘HEV’ badges, and additional USB-C charge ports throughout to replace USB-A sockets.

Active safety improvements include motorcyclist and vehicle head-on detection for the autonomous emergency braking system, which also has enhanced intersection detection during the day.

Emergency steering assist is now available for all Yaris variants, while the cameras and sensors for the adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist now operate over a wider area.

SX and ZR variants add low-speed emergency braking in forward and reverse when parking if an imminent collision is detected, while the ZR features safe exit assist – which uses the same radar as the blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alerts – to prevent ‘dooring’ other road users.

Prices have increased between $1270 and $1770 for 2024 Toyota Yaris SX and ZR variants.

The 2024 Toyota GR Yaris hot hatch is due to receive a separate update later this year, headlined by the addition of an automatic transmission option.
