It might look sporty with 17in wheels, stiffer suspension, black accents, a sports steering wheel and sports seats, but there’s no more power under the bonnet. Too stiff and too expensive to recommend.

This engine is borrowed from the Prius, albeit with a smaller battery pack. It is probably the quickest Yaris in-gear, thanks to the extra assistance from the electric motor, but the CVT gearbox is noisy, sending the revs flaring when you try and accelerate.
