Yaris used, in Switzerland
The frugal hybrid city car
The Toyota Yaris is one of Switzerland's most popular small cars and, thanks to its full hybrid (HSD) drivetrain, especially frugal in town. The fourth generation is rock-solid, cheap to run and ideal for anyone who wants to fill up rather than plug in while still keeping consumption low.

Known weak points
- The full hybrid is very reliable, but keep an eye on the 12-volt battery with frequent short trips and long standing
- XP210: recall on the side curtain airbag of early builds, confirm it was carried out in the service book
- The 1.0 three-cylinder is weak and noisy on the motorway and in the mountains, meant more for the city
- Older Toyota Touch 2 infotainment is sluggish, Apple CarPlay only from the XP210 on
Verdict: which to buy?
The Yaris Hybrid (116 or 130) is the clear pick: frugal, low-maintenance and city-friendly. The XP210 (from 2020) is more modern and safer than the XP130.
For commuters and city drivers who want a frugal, reliable small car with no charging hassle.
